I got and used the Kodak Express pass at Universal

[gm]

Hi everyone!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I went to vacation services at Universal and gave them my Kodak pass from the camera and my tickets(5 consecutive days $89) and I got them for me and my kids since I had 3 cameras so 3 passes.

Each book has passes for practically every popular ride at both USF and IOA + a dessert at one of the sit down restaurants(cannot remember exactly which ones).

These passes do not need to be used the same day!!!They can be used anytime and expire on 2/28/04. So we have lots of saved rides we didnt need to use the pass on because of no lines so we will use them in Christmas time.

The passes are easy to get and are a great great value if you do not stay onsite.

Thanks for the info!

Did you use the preferred seating at any of the shows that comes with it? If so were they good seats?


Thanks,

hi deb5!!

They did not have any preffered seating passes inside of the express booklet. My booklet specifically said Kodak Express booklet on it and had front of line passes for basically all the popular rides and a dessert at mythyios,confisco and something else but no show passes.

To gm: I obtained one of the Kodak Cards at Walmart, and called guest services at Universal; They told me that with the package I purchased (July 20 - 23, with 5 day passes, staying at the main gate Raddison) that since the passes were NOT single day, they would not honor the card. They further told me that in order to use the card, it would drive up the package cost from $471 to $690 (this is for 2 adults, 1 child). For that, I would have just stayed on site!

I guess my question is - you said you went to VACATION services. Where is that located, & do you have a phone number?

PS - I got my package as a Florida resident - and the third night was free ; this also allowed me 1/2 hour early entrance on Monday and Wednesday to Islands of adventure, and Citywalk parkpasses for all three of us

I think next time I will be staying onsite, in order to get the FOTL goodie!

hi cc54,

I purchased the 5 day pass and had no problems at all getting the express pass.

Vacation Services is located inside immediately after you enter. It is on your left hand side where the stroller rentals are. Vacation services is the place where they also take pictures of annual passes, etc. Do not go to guest services which is located outside of the park.

I would not worry at all. I just presented my tickets and my pass that was in the Kodak Box. I followed the instructions exactly listed on the pass.

Also not anywhere on the pass does it say that you only need a one day pass. You can have a 3 day pass or a 5 day pass like mine.

Remember DO NOT go to guest services, go straight to vacation services and get your pass. The passes do not have to be used the same day. You can use them upto Feb 28 2004 which is the best part. I had 3 of the 5 day passes and I also was staying offsite. I got 3 of the Kodak passes for future use.

It should have nothing to do with where you are staying or anything like that. :bounce: :bounce:

Good luck and have fun

I all ready bought my tickets at AAA (3 day for the price of 2). Are these tickets appicable to the Kodak Express Pass? We are going in October. I wonder if we really need the passes.Is it crowded then? Last time we went in December, we saw almost all of Us in one day, with hardly any lines.

It depends on when you go... We used the fast pass booklet tickets on Spring Break. We finshed everthing by noon. Spiderman had an hour wait..

Vellamint, we were in our neighborhood Walmart last weekend and saw a full cardboard display near the camera section with the one time use cameras that have the offer. It's a sport/water camera.

Good luck

We have bought 4 of these for our Sept. trip. The cost was about $9 per camera here.

Kodak passes are not good for jimmy neutron or shrek

they are good for:
Universal: twister, jaws, terminator 3d, men in black, back to the future

IOA: dudley do right ripsaw falls, jurassic park river adventure, dueling dragons, spiderman, hulk

[unclescroogefan]

I just went to CVS and bought 2 cameras. They are on sale this week for $9.99, regular $14.99.
