A Thank You - Costco/Universal tickets! (long)

[HookdonWDW]

Thanks for this post!

I was able to pick up these tickets at the Costco in Milford, CT.

Just a note on two things:

1. There were literally 100 of the tags on the rack, but they only had 10 passes in stock. So the number of tags doesn't always equal the number of available passes.
2. All of the tags said that the passes expire on 12/31/13, but we received passes with the later 12/31/14 dates. No complaints here.

Hi- Omg thank you for your post, I live in Longmeadow MA and after checking to see if any Costco's by us have them, may head down to Milford.

I may have missed this in a previous post, but does anyone if these tickets are transferrable? We are going in a week, and my brother is going in May. Not sure when/if we will go back to Orlando in the next few years. We are usually 3-5 yr. people. So if they are transferrable, maybe I could give them to my brother to use for a day. Otherwise, might not be worth the extra trouble for us to find them.

However, my brother's sis in law is in WDW every year, sometimes twice a year, so thank you for this helpful advice- she will def. be interested in tracking some of these down.

Not sure if you guys saw this. A great deal. A 3 day ticket for $87.

This is a good deal if you are going to visit US/IOA 3 times in 14 days, but with the Costco tickets, you have 3 years to visit 3 times instead of 14 days!

Costco in Danvers, Mass.

I got the 2013 expiration. Never checked for a different one.

Good deal!

I know it's been a while since you got them, but do you know if they still have them at the Danvers Costco?

Do you have to be staying on site to get this deal?

No. Any tickets you purchase outside of an onsite package have nothing to do with staying onsite.

Thanks!!!
I live in NY and have no Costco so I sent my MIL (Ohio). She keeps saying you have to stay on site, I was pretty sure you didn't. I will have to tell her to try again!

Tried to do a deal on this site for Discovery Cove - it was a total wast of time - they sold out instantly.

Me too!! I was so bummed. I hadn't realized the ticket limit was so small! ugh.

Discover Cove does have a new deal up for good prices in May - see their facebook page. Not as good as the other offer but decent.

Anyone in RI got these tickets? If yes, where? I wonder if other wholesale clubs sell them too

They are a Costco exclusive. Costco often has deals on Universal tickets.

Damo, thanks for answering all my questions. I appreciate it.

My friend in NJ is now looking for the tickets in Costo in their area.

Does Costco charge tax on these tickets? Trying to figure out if it's worth if for us. Thanks!

Costco does charge tax on the tickets.

When paying note that the only credit card brand they'll accept is American Express (no Visa, Mastercard, Discover, etc...). They accept all debit cards (regardless of brand) and cash.

$139.99 for a 3-day pass typically expiring in Dec 2012, some are now expiring in 2015. Gotta look hard for those though.

I can't seem to locate any Universal tickets for Orlando here in the San Jose area of California or at least our Costco's here are sticking to the story they don't have them. Anyone seen them in this area at all for sale, or have another idea how I might locate them? Thanks!

The Costco in Everett MA has a lot of these expiring in 2014

For those who have bought the tickets at costco, I have a couple of questions:

1. How are they packaged once you receive them?

2. Do you know if they can be returned.

Thanks!
