First time Universal Trip - I need some help!

[sdoll]

We are coming down for spring break and will be staying a week at Bonnet Creek. We decided to come down early and stay the night a Royal Pacific to take advantage of the express passes for 2 days. We have looked at the 4 day park to park passes that include the water park. Is there a better option or a way to add on additional days? The tickets seem very expensive!! We will be there for 9 days and want to maximize the park time without breaking the bank (although we are with adding the night at Royal Pacific) we love Volcano Bay and plan on going their often.

The 3 park annual pass is probably your best bet for 9 days.
Bonus, you can book the night at RP using your AP discount!!

The AP also grants discounts on hotel, food and merchandise along with free parking at the park.

If I was going to be there 9 days I’d definitely get APs

You can get the hotel discount with any AP.
I think the food and merchandise discounts only apply to a certain level of AP.
I don't know about parking, since we never have a car when staying at UO.

You'd want 1 Preferred Pass for those food / merchandise discounts as well as the free parking. Park over 3 days and you'll save more on parking than the upgrade to the Preferred costs.

Are you set on Bonnet Creek? Cabana Bay is ideal for the waterpark. They'd run a special passholder offer for a free upgrade to a suite, and that left spaces in the regular rooms and they ran a 40% off regular room special. Although for spring break, the deals might already be gone.

With the waterpark, you can't park AT the waterpark. You park at the parking ramp and they bus you over to the waterpark. At Cabana Bay it is a short walk.
