Early Ticket Pick-Up

[sammielynn]

I have already bought our tickets for Universal, a two day pass for my sons and a AP for me. We will be driving down on May 26. We have to go right pass Universal to get to our condo. I was wondering if we could swing by one of the Universal Hotels on our way through and pick up our passes?? If we do that it won't take a day off the tickets will it? If this is allowed which hotel would be best to go to. We are planning on dropping one person off to grab the tickets and the rest staying in the car and driving in circles waiting on them. Do any of the hotels have very short term parking areas?

I would go to RPR. If you look at Google Maps, you can see that there is quite a bit of space to wait in the car on the roadways just outside of the hotel entry circle. Drop someone off, then pull out of the circle turn right and just wait on the roadway out of everyone's way. This road goes down towards the convention centre. There seem to be places that you could pull off the roadway if you go down a bit. At RPR, you go past the check in desks towards the back of the hotel to the guest services area to get to the kiosks.

You could also do Portofino and drop them off and then just do a few little loops on their entrance road. At PBH, the kiosks are in the entrance to the club lounge. So, again you go past the check in desks and up the little ramp beside the fountain. The room is on the left.

Perfect, thanks. I was thinking RPR might be where we go.

This is just what I was looking for...How far in advance can you pick up tickets? For example, we're arriving in Florida on July 6 and not going to Universal until July 15. Could we pick up our tickets on July 6? And that can all be done by stopping at one of the hotels, even if you aren't staying there?
