Anual Power Pass for non residents $190

[CPA_ESQ.]

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the power pass is now available to non residents for about $180

If I remember correctly - this was only for FL residents when I checked last year (2010).

So when did Universal add this? The black out dates are not that bad, and 2012 black out dates look even less restrictive. I seem to remember last year that the only thing non residents could buy were the other passes $250 / 400

We go down to Universal about 2x a year. 1x for HHN and another time in either Nov or early Dec, so this works out great for us. We stay for 3-4 days, so a park hopper ticket would cost us about $140-150 each trip (AAA discount)

I was able to find coupons for free party passes for city walk (I think Latin Quarters offers the coupon until 12/17/2011).

You can even add the HHN ticket at a discount with the power pass (I think it is only $40 if you go on a Sunday)

The Dis board site didn't even show this as an option under Universal -> tickets. so figured I would share / create a thread.

Power passes became available about a month ago for non-Floridians at the same time that they raised all the AP prices. They don't let you get discounts on hotels, food and merchandise though.

Power Passes only include your park admission but no discounts or parking is included. You might want to consider one person purchasing a Preferred AP for the discounts and free parking while the others stick to the Power Pass.

Only a month ago - wow!

Parking is not realy an issue for us - we like to stay at one of the park hotels, and as far as discounts AAA card used at park restaurants, for hotels, and at some stores saves us some $.

But that is a great idea that one person should get the pass with all the benefits
