any drawbacks on buying tickets now for June 04 trip?

[Candice30]

i am planning on taking advantage of the buy 2 day get 5 day pass at universal's website and wondered if i should buy these tickets now? i am worried that the deal may be pulled after the new year. i just need 3 tickets for me and 2 kids and this sounds like a great deal. do you get tickets mailed to you or do you pick them up at a kiosk? thanks!

I bought my 5 day passes online and had them mailed to me but I
know there is a kiosk there and you put your credit card in and get the tickets. it says 7 out of 10 do it that way. There's a link to save $8 per ticket and there's no expiration date on these tickets so no need to worry. The site is www.visituniversal.com/kraft

I just purchased mine this way too - but instead of UPS I chose the ticket kiosk. I HOPE this works!!! Anyone ever use this method before?

Can't wait for our first trip to Universal/IOA and RPR but first.....

Well, the only thing I can think of is that ticket prices can change up or down, but really the trend is up, so you should be okay as long as the tix don't expire.

We used the kiosk last May and had no problems. Actually purchased the tickets in January. When we got there we put the credit card into the machine and entered the confirmation code (I think) and out popped the tickets.

Only downside to my purchase is not long after I ordered them they came out with a better promotion. I think I will hold off a little longer next time.

i thought about that but decided to go ahead and get them. i am always waiting for better deals and the best deal usually slips thru my fingers so i grabbed this one. i'm happy as i usually only do 1 day at each park but since i was bringing my niece and nephew i wanted to be able to do 1/2 days the entire week so this pass is great. hope everyone gets some great deals.

Look at it this way - if they do come out with a better promotion it probably won't be THAT much better and in the meantime you have bought yourself peace of mind!

my feeling exactly. when i go on vacation, i must have everything planned down to what we will eat! i have already studied the menus. i have my room and now my tickets. next, i just need airfare and shuttle reservations and we are ready! the tickets are one less thing to worry about.

Candice- i don't know how many are in yourparty but it is about the same price to get a towncar for about $80-$90R/t transfer from airport. I have read terrible reports about the Mears shuttle. We are using FL TOURS and I've read alot of good things on the transportation board over on www.wdwinfo.com. Just thought you might like to read about the transportation!!I have to do my trip the same way. i ahve gradually bought everything so far for our March trip. All I will owe is hotel when i get there and meals every day and souvenirs etc.
