Making the trip to Universal this week, and looking at the ticket prices, it seems to make more sense to do the annual passes, based on the likelyhood of a return visit. (3 day park to park is $105, and the annual power pass with minimal blackout dates, (when we won't go anyway) is $139.
I'll definitely do at least one power pass, but I'm debating doing a preffered or premium for the wife. If I lived in the orlando area, it would be a no brainer, based on the free parking alone.
My thought process is that we do disney a lot too, and could see us making a day trip to universal more than a day trip to disney while in Orlando.
We go four to five times a year.
Anyone have any thoughts?
preferred is $229, and you get 10% discounts on tickets, food, merchandise, annual passholder rates on hotels (which are usually the same as fla resident) and the spa at Portofino, plus free self parking, which is $12 bucks.
So, I figure if I park twice over the year, thats about $70 bucks more, or roughly $700 in money spent to break even...
The premium is $289, has all the benefits of the preferred, except you get an additional 5% off food, an additional 10% off merchandise, and another 10% off at the spa, plus free valet parking, and room upgrades. They also let you upgrade to a suite at the hotels if available for $50 bucks a night.
Totally confused.....
