Another reason to do Universal

[sonofanarchy]

Annual Pass Preferred renewals are only $159.99!!!! I had no idea they were this cheap. Compared to Disney's $570, that's an amazing bargain.

Sounds like I might need to get a Universal pass next year after WWoHP expansion opens...

Stay on Disney property with dvc points, drive to Universal parks...

I called and spoke to someone at Universal today.

Better yet, spend the first few days of your vacation at a Universal hotel and get Unlimited Express.

So you have not actually renewed at that price?

 

[damo]

The Universal AP renewals are a fantastic deal.

I can't yet. Our AP's don't expire until July.

Is this "fantastic deal" in print somewhere?

when i renewed in april at that price, the tax brought it to $170.34.

the price you listed, does that include the tax?
is this the total now on a special?


if it is, i would renew now if they didn't have that 30 day prior attached to it.


i doubt i am going to renew my disney ap.
$570 !

the only reason i bought the motherland ap this year is due to having two trips within 3 months at the motherland and darkside.

You seem very doubtful of this. Why?

 

[macraven]

maybe since it is such a fantastic deal, someone new to the darkside might not be aware of how UO discounts ap's.

 

[livndisney]

You seem very doubtful of this. Why?

Because since they built Potterland the rates have jumped quite a bit.

The rate you are quoting seems more like 2010:
http://******************/article/p...-this-universal-orlando-amazing-renewal-offer

Or 2011:
http://www.**************.net/2011/...zarding-world-of-harry-potter-blackout-dates/

The purchase price for the pass you mentioned even for Florida residents is almost 100.00 more than the renewal price you are quoting at $244.99+tax.

I can't seem to find renewal info on their site showing that price.

I as well as others have been told one thing on the phone and something different at the park.

And even a long standing poster on this thread questioned the price.

Which is why I asked if you were able to find that price in writing somewhere.

For the record I am not saying it is not true-just asking for a source.

Enjoy Universal

Or maybe someone who is not new to Universal (but stopped buying Annual passes when the prices jumped so high) was considering buying a pass again if the price was right.

Here's what our moderator, Metro West, posted this May

These were the renewal rates for last year. I renewed my Preferred AP last month and it was the same amount.

Here are the three levels of renewal....

Power Pass - $134.99 plus tax

Preferred Pass - $159.99 plus tax

Premier Pass - $289.99 plus tax

you are right.
i didn't phrase my last post correctly as i have seen you on the darkside threads and you aren't a newbie.


i'm happy that the renewal for the preferred passes have held the same the past 3 years.
i hope it continues for when i have to renew next spring.

 

[bumbershoot]

And even a long standing poster on this thread questioned the price.

Mac asked if the price included tax, that's all.



I've renewed two years at that rate.


Will it be that rate next September when it's renewal time? I don't know. But it was this Sept and last when it was time to renew my family's Preferred APs.

 

[dansamy]

Can someone explain to a universal newbie what the differences between the annual passes are?

 

[macraven]

here is a chart for the 3 different passes benefits.
