Best Universal pricing for Canadians?

[mommymanda]

Where do I find the best prices, preferably Canadian funds? Our plan is late August and Im Ok with Cabana Bay (no express pass). I know most of the info I read says not to book directly through Universal, so where do I look? We have CAA and would get a Costco membership if necessary. Im just not really seeing much difference in the pricing.

Hi Hon
I looked around and ended up booking through UO web site but I would wait for a few more replies as I am not a
UO expert.
I do get my UO tickets via Airmiles.

It wouldn't hurt to look at C.A.A. as I think you might get a bit of a discount.https://www.caasco.com/Travel/Vacation-Packages/Universal-Orlando.aspx

I would purchase the hotel directly through Universal and buy tickets through Undercover Tourist. I've been going to Universal forever and always book right through Universal. I like the perks that you can accumulate and I like the cancellation guarantees. Depending on how long you are staying, the annual pass rates that you get with the annual pass that is the same price as a 3 day ticket, can save you a lot. There is also a stay more save more rate if you are staying 4 days or more.

Check WestJet or AirCanada. I forgot which one had a great deal for Cabana Bay and some of the other resorts. I had already booked with my TA and couldn't get out of my reservation at CB with her supplier. This was for a September 2016 trip. I book by December for the following year. I believe the deal came out around Jan or Feb but I'm not positive.

Booking hotel only through AirTransat.com has had decent prices in the past as well. Pay in CDN and I found that it's slightly lower than booking with US funds (after exchange and fees) directly through Universal's site.

Thank you for this one. I am coming up with a pretty decent savings at Royal Pacific for my dates including tickets using the site. Even better since it is Canadian funds. Can anyone tell me if I am booking through Air Transat, but still at RP and purchasing the tickets will we still qualify for the Express Pass bonuses, or is that only when booked directly through Universal?

You'll get Express Pass regardless of where/how you book your stay at Royal Pacific
