Best Website for Discounted Park Hopper Tickets

[Jenhwyfar]

Hi All!

We are traveling out to Orlando on June 24th and wanted to get your advice for the best website to get a deal on Universal Park Hopper tickets. We are looking to go two to three days with Express Passes on each ticket to make the best use of our time. All of your advice and input is welcome!

Thank you so much!

Jen

We generally order from Undercover Tourist, and they generally give a small discount over US's website. I don't know of many places that give much of a discount on Universal tickets, just like Disney tickets. Express Passes have to be ordered from US, as far as I know.

Buck man is right
Express passes need to be ordered thru UO

I have been looking for 4 days tickets for July. It appears the AAA "discount" tickets are the same as the USO online ticket prices ($239.99) and the black out dates on the Annual Power Pass are July - August for IOA, so not much point in getting those. In the past, it seems there were specials going on in the summer.

Check out undercover tourist and maple leaf for their costs for park tickets

There is another good online store nut the name escapes me now
Their office is in Orlando and has been around a good number of years
I'll try to do find their site tomorrow for you
Probably it will be listed by another reader here

Just bought my twins tickets through PS and added them today with no problems. They had the best price for us we bought 4 days and got 3 days free

Can you order tickets through one of the discount sites or buy a flex pass, & then add on an express ticket? Can you do it ahead of time?

 

[macraven]

You don't have to add it on

It is separate from the day tickets unless you order it/ combo


Buy from the third party vender if you want and buy the ep from UO

You can buy the ep in advance or once you are in the park

I only saw 1 and 2 day tickets at parksaver. I forgot that UT prices include tax. I think taxes are in addition to ticket prices for all the others I looked at.

If we get 3 day tickets now, how much is it to add one additional day at customer service?

Your right PS only has 1 and 2 day tickets that I have seen as well. So we will either get them from Universal themselves or try Under Cover Tourist since we are staying at RP we don't need the EP

It is $10/day for each extra day.

You can do that but it is cheaper to buy the bundled ticket/express ticket at UO.

I bought through UT using the Mousesavers link. I didn't see cheaper prices anywhere else. We needed 5 days.

Although I may have jumped the gun a little, because I didn't think we would be doing HHN. Now after chatting here and seeing all the benefits of HHN beyond the houses and such, I want to do HHN and maybe didn't need so many days on the park passes. I could have gone with a 4 day and just made 1 day a half pool day until we hit HHN for the night.

Thanks for all the help! I think I will get us the 3 day park to park from UT and add a fourth day at the park if we decide to do one additional day.

I don't know how to check and find out if the Costco stores in Orlando sells passes. An old thread shows at the bottom of my screen, from 2010, saying that people were finding 3 day park to park tickets at Costco stores for $134.99.

No they don't have that deal any longer or any other good deals.
