Best rate & APH

[VW31]

Sorry for posting so many questions but which "disount" rate is normally the best, Entertainment, Fan Club or Annual Passholder?

Also, instead of posting new thread

With the annual pass, this gives you access into the parks as well? Do you need one for every member of your party?

Thanks.

APH is usually the best. You need only one preferred annual pass in the party. The rest can have power passes or tickets. Each person must have one of the above.

What exactly is a power pass?

Online 2-Park Annual Power Pass

This is an Annual Pass with quite a few blackout days (mainly summer weekends, Christmastime and Spring Break time) at a lower price than the Preferred Annual Pass. Does not include parking or food/merchandise discounts. It is not always offered. When it's available, you can usually order it online at the Universal Studios Ticket Booth web site. Currently it's only available through the Orlando AAA office.

So how much does one of these power passes cost? I am planning on buying a regular annual pass so I can get the discounts at the hotels, so I need to purchase a pass for my husband since we are planning only on only doing a Universal vacation for 7 days. What would be the best choice of tickets then for my husband? Would it just make sense to purchase AP for the two of us? Thanks for any suggestions.

I cut and pasted from Mousesavers.com. This might be what you're looking for but the site has other possibilities.

7 Days for the Price of 2 Offer

MouseSavers.com reader Carrie S found what looks to be a great deal on Universal tickets. Get 7 days for the price of 2! This is a "Stay and Play Pass" good for 7 consecutive days from the date of first use to Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure, and Universal CityWalk.

The price is $99.95 for adults and $89.95 for kids (ages 3-9). This price includes tax, so these would actually be slightly cheaper than a 2-Day/2-Park pass.

The offer appears on RCICommunity.com, which is a major timeshare owners' web site. Carrie reports that she was able to order these tickets through the site with no problem. There is a space on the order form for "RCI Member ID" but it isn't a required field. Note that the tickets are not shipped to you; you must pick them up at a Guest Services window at the theme parks when you arrive. Carrie reports that she only had to show a photo ID to pick up the pass, and was not required to show RCI membership.
