Discounts on Annual Passes????

[mskenna]

I am needing to purchase an annual pass. We will be at US / IOA July 30 - Aug. 5. I got lucky enough to get the excitement passes for 3 of my four family members, however, in order to get the GREAT APH rate at the PBH, we are getting one annual pass. I have seen prices from 179.95 on the universal orlando home page to 185.00 elsewhere. I am not from FLORIDA, and I am not a member of AAA South. Any info would be appreciated!

There was a Beall's special. Is that over?

Am I right in thinking that if I buy this pass and activate it in May2007, I will still be able to get the 2 years pass, but it will be backdated to Dec2006?

I.E I will loose 5 months of the offer but still retain the other 7 months?

Yes, that is correct. Your pass will actually run from May 2007 to Dec 2008.

 

[bubba's mom]

gavvy......yeah, BUT, you won't have a renewal fee....2nd year is free! (reason to go back! ) i guess it just depends if you think you can get there more than once between May '07 and Dec. '08

its a sweet deal on that bealls promo.
i got credit for the 5 day pass i bought and had it applied to the bealls one i bought thru universal

 

[bubba's mom]

we're buying them also....just asked DH if he thought we'd get there at least 3x in the next 2 years...he said yes. He thinks he lives close, he's planning all these times to go....but I gently reminded him, DS has school (& usually only gets 5 excused absences a year...but, might be able to stretch that if we use DFIL's health as excuse), we have to fly and stay at on-site hotel...so, that will add up. And, of course, we'd go during peak times (holiday, MLK time, etc...so, we have to stay onsite for FOTL)....so, yep, sweet deal....on my way to purchasing 3!!! btw mac, you feelin' any better about tryin RPR?? I know you're worried....I have had some technical difficulties here...my scanner works only off MY pc, and my pc is having issues with the mother board....so, DH is working on fixing that (he's an electronic technician)....if my DH's USB ports worked right, we'd use his pc to scan the hotel pix....but, i didn't forget, just having problems here!

bubbas mom: no matter what i really should keep the rph ressie.
i do want to switch back to hrh only because now hhn will be stationed at the studios.

i am trying to stay positive about it but the old heart still longs to be back home at hrh.

How did you go about getting credit for passes you already bought towards your pass without actualy being there? I bought 2 tickets back in January and I booked the kids stay play and eat free promotion for our December trip that comes with 2 adult tickets and 2 kids tickets. I would like to take advantage of the Belle's promotion and use the money I paid for the tickets towards the cost of the season passes in hopes of taking an extra trip next summer.

This two years for the price of one deal is the best thing since sliced bread. Bought my last USF annual preferred pass on 2003. Used it in 2003, 2004 AND 2005. The benefits were great with the free parking and the discount. (We were even able to use the merchandise discount at the outlet store.)

Needless to say, when I learned they were offering it again this year, I jumped on it. Just waiting to activate the little puppy.

Phone them at customer service. They upgrade and change passes all the time.
