Annual Pass Question

[SCtoFLA]

Planning a trip to Universal in December. Thinking of buying an AP, mainly for the on-site hotel discount. If I order the AP online, and pick -up at the gate in December, how will i apply it for hotel room discounts? Do they email you a code or something?

I had the same question. The HRH desk person told me to just show the AP upon check in, and it will be fine.

You can just show the AP at anytime during your stay. If they ask at checkin just tell them you are picking it up at guest services.

I checked in prior to picking it up at the parks. They never asked for it, and the rate was correct on our folio.

In order to receive the AP rate, put APH in the promotional code section on the hotel reservation page.

you would need to book your room at the AP rate in advance.
call and book over the phone.
you do not have to have the ap in hand to do that.


only a certain % of rooms are available for discounts.
that goes for promos, AAA, AP, MIL, etc.

once you are there at the hotel, you won't get the ap discount if you don't book at the ap rate.
the allotment for those discounted rate rooms might be not available.

book your room with the ap discount.
buy the AP online.
you will pick up your ap once you are in the park.

if the hotel states they must see your ap, show them your voucher.
while at the park, have your ap processed.

show the ap to the front desk clerk anytime before you check out.

We stayed in June at HRH with the AP rate. I only had the AP voucher when we checked in. I asked if the CM needed to see my AP, and they said no. They never asked for the AP during our stay, and we received the AP discount on 2 rooms. Them not wanting to verify that I was an AP holder upset me - other people could just book the APH rate without ever having an AP.

cvjw, i hear you about that.



in all the years i have stayed on site, 3 years ago they asked to see my ap.

they made a copy of it.

for what reason, i do not know.
