Entertainment books on sale for $15

[juliebro]

Despite getting an email from them on 24th Feb telling me that my book had been shipped that day, I have still not received it.

Tonight I have just downloaded our latest emails to find another email telling me my order has been shipped today!

I am beginning to wonder if we'll get it before we leave.

my book arrived 9 days after ordering on 15th Feb. Packaging was shredded though and address didn't have county, country or postcode (just village name and UK). I was amazed it got here. I have no problem with the web link, just checked it.
booked 1 night special treat in Oct. at HRH. $162 +tax. (entertainment rate). So much for the tight budget!! never have considered it without the help of these boards. really looking forward to FOTL access.

i also ordered mine on the 4th feb and got an email on the 13 feb to say it had been shipped but have not receive mine yet , i sent an email a couple of days ago and apparantly it can take upto 30 to arrive in canada so it looks like i'll have to wait a little while longer and actually i ordered it a couple of years ago and im sure i waited quite a while for it then

Hi

My entertainment book finally arrived today, 6th Mar, ordered 5th Feb - worth the wait though.

Fingers crossed that mine arrives soon - we go 3 weeks on Wednesday.

Are the discounts as good as the website suggests?

To be honest I am very dissappointed in the book, can't see much in there that we'll be using.

The free mags you pick up at places like Golden Corral and tourist information booths have better discount coupons (ie restaurants, activities like adventure golf). Maybe the hotel coupons are good but we are HGVC owners and that's already sorted - I'll be booking our first night hotel near the airport through priceline.

I'm sure it works for some !

For all those who use the book year after year, what coupons do you use, maybe I'm missing something here ??

I finally got on their website, something to do with our computer blocking it - again no interesting savings for me, once I had a nosey !!

Thanks Holly - I feel slightly better now about just having received an email saying that delivery times can be 8-10 weeks for overseas orders!

As mine was only shipped on 1st March (a month after I'd ordered it) it isn't likely to arrive before we leave. At least I'm not missing much - just wasted $15!

I will be miffed if Loews start offering ENT rates at RPR for Easter though!

Depends what you are looking for. We certainly get our money's worth. We love Pebble's at Crossroads and will use it at Bennigans and All Star Cafe also. The coupons for McDonald and Popeyes are worthwhile too.

Do you use AOL by any chance? I have been having difficulties getting in the entertainment site too. How did you manage to get into the site?
Wendy

 

[onlyholly]

No we're not on AOL, my husband had to sort it out - far too technical for me.

This is what I think he did:

When I originally went on the Entertainment site and registered my card, I entered my address. For whatever reason the Entertainment system blocked me from their site. My husband had to then delete all cookies related to them. When this was done, I could then enter the site and re-register my Entertainment card using Orlando (not my county) as the registration address.

I hope this makes sense as I haven't a clue really, I was in the background when my husband sorted it out. Unfortunately he's out of the Country at the moment so can't ask what he did in detail (probably wouldn't understand anyway).

Hope you get it sorted soon.

I ordered mine about 10 days ago and have recieved it!! However it runs out November 1st and we do not go until 4th November!

 

[juliebro]

Well, it's finally arrived! Looks like there's plenty of offers available in it.

Julie

 

[onlyholly]

Sure took its time getting to you !! Have a lovely holiday, wish our countdown was as low as yours.

Holly

 

[decaff38]

Any ideas when they will begin selling the 2005 books? We're going in jan.

 

[juliebro]

Thanks Holly.

Excitement and panic in equal measures at the moment! I keep thinking 'have I remembered everything?'!!!

How soon can you get the Entertainment rates on Universal hotels. We go in October and I tried to key in ENT where it says discount on the Loews website but it showed RPR full price $209. Also tried keying in a few earlier dates but still came up as full price. Am I doing something wrong or do you have to ring the hotel - or perhaps it's too early to get a decent rate? Then tried keying FAN for fan club rate and it is $157 - is the Entertainment rate usually similar or better?

Looks like off-site for Universal parks if they stay at these prices - any recommendations preferably walking distance to International Drive and restaurants but also walking distance to Universal parks (if this is possible - don't know this area very well).

Hi Sue,

No, you aren't doing anything wrong. Typing in ENT or FAN will offer you the entertainment/fan rate if it available for your dates. You can also try APH (Annual Pass Holder) and see if that offers a cheaper rate which may justify getting a USO annual pass (which is good value anyway IMO).

Is it just me?

Did I just imagine that the Entertainment website was advertising 2 for the price of 1 on Ghirardelli choc sundaes?

I've got the book - but no mention of this deal. And now no mention on the website either!

Anyone else think they saw the offer too?

Julie (I like chocolate!)

 

[wendym]

No you are not going mad - I saw it too but can no longer find it!
