FAN vs AP??

[chager]

Ok I am trying to figure if it would be worth getting an AP for one of us. We will not be going again within a year after our trip and are only staying 3 (maybe 4) nights before transferring to WDW. We have the FAN card already. From what I'm reading the price will be fairly close between the discounts for the room. This is our 1st time at Universal. I am going to purchase the Universal Bonus Pass so how many I need depends on the AP decision. Any input would be appreciated. I'm so tired from looking at numbers right now. Please forgive me if I'm not making any sense. DS keeps interrupting my line of thought

Plus if you come back next year, it will be $99 to renew the pass, and you can do it thru the mail, which means you won't have to reprocess
I did that for my Six Flags pass. Went last year, went to the parks, then didn't go any more. Now I'm flying to California March 4th. Went online to SFoG, renewed my pass, and they mailed me a new one with my picture on it. Now I don't have to reprocess at SFMM, I just walk up to the gate and I'm in.
I'm sure you'll be back next year.
