AP Disney Water Parks - Can u buy at gate?

[paulfoel]

Notice that the price of an annual pass is equivalent to 2.5 or so visits, so if you got more than this its worth getting.

Can you buy this at the gate of the water park or do you need to go to guest services somewhere?

Or is there a cheaper way for multiple disney water park visits?

 

[nemmie]

We bought at the gate as they had a special deal going on at the time.
Somewhere around $99pp which meant we would only have to come 1 more time to make it worth it and it was cheaper than adding on the option to our AP's.

 

[torsie24]

Oooh, so are we worth waiting until we get to the gate for our TL/BB tickets?

If it is still cheaper to add to our APs can we still do that at the gate?

 

[nemmie]

Not sure if they still have the $99 offer on anymore Torsie but I know you can def upgrade at the gate because the CM costed both options for me

I can look in 3 weeks if you need me to and send you a pm.

 

[torsie24]

Awww, thank Nemmie. That's really great of the CM doing that for you.

We're there for 3 weeks, so I'm pretty certain we'll be visiting more than twice, so I think the AP is the best bet for us. Who knows, maybe in March there will be a new offer.

 

[nemmie]

Yep I think it would be a good bet for you. If you plan on going even just once a week you should break even, even at normal prices. With a deal a water park AP will save you money. We like Aquaticia (we currently have AP's to all 3) and go to water parks at least a couple of times a week just for a change from the pool. I love to people watch

 

[paulfoel]

Hmmm. Dunno know though.

Universal 2 park and Wet n Wild - £99
Seaworld, Aquatica, Busch Garden - £72 (unlimted use for both)

Might just stick to these two water parks rather than pay any extra £70 each for the two disney ones. Been these before but not been W+W and Aquatica.

Never been to Aquatica. Better than BB and TL?

 

[nemmie]

Personally I would say yes and hubby LOVES Aquatica way more but I know a lot of people like TT/BL more and of course if staying on site its prob more convient.

Our AP's to TL/BB run out in Dec and we won't be renewing them. We have 2 year passes for Aquatica and will be renewing.

IMO Aquatica is newer with better rides and its SO clean. I have never been in the changing rooms/toliets without seeing an attendant washing the floors etc. The place is spotless.

BB beats Aquatica on the food but for me I would rather eat out of the parks anyway.

I personally would not go anywhere near Wet and Wild but thats just my opinion.

 

[torsie24]

I think it just depends where you'll be etc.

We are staying on site only, and won't really be leaving property, so for us the transport makes TL & BB easier.

Aquatica does look pretty awesome though!

 

[nemmie]

Exactly Torsie! If its more convenient for you then BB/TL are great options.

I don't NOT like them, they are great. I just prefer Aquatica.

Didn't want to take the shine of the Disney ones

Never been to Wet and Wild in 10 visits but son is 7 and wants to go there so we'll give it a try.

They are still doing the water park AP's for $99. We bought ours 3 weeks ago.
