Going in November - When should we buy tickets to get the best deal?

[laughatjimmy.com]

Should we buy them ASAP, or is there a chance a better deal could come up between now and November, when we're going. Want to go 2 or 3 day parkhoppers. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Prices went up in a couple months ago, so it's likely the prices will stay the same until your trip. We bought our discounted tickets through UndercoverTourist online.

Back in April and May there was a deal for 2 day Park to Park with 3rd day free. AAA offers 4 day park to park for I think it was 204. 00 or 206.00. If you purchase with AAA at local office you get a break with the taxes. If you purchase with AAA remember to have them print you your sheet with the tickets which says you purchased your tickets from them. It talks about the percentage you can receive purchasing merchandise at Universal. They want to see this including your AAA card for purchases. You have to spend at least 50.00 for your discounts to kick in with AAA. You can also receive discounts at participating restaurants. They no longer give AAA discounts on merchandise in the two Potter Parks but, most of that merchandise can be found at the large stores just inside both parks or at the Universal store in city walk and you receive the discounts there.

They did give AAA discount at the two restaurants in the Potter parks when I was there Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, and the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade.

AAA will print paper tickets for you if you purchase them there and you can have them converted to the small card tickets to fit in your lanyards at guest services which are located just outside the park entrances.

I noticed they are giving great prices for all the onsite hotels the week before Thanksgiving and the week after. Remember only the RPH, HRH and PBH have express pass included in your stay. Not available at Cabanna Bay. They give discounts with AAA on hotels as well.

There are other discount sites I have seen people talk about on this board also.

You can also receive discounts with AP.

Happy planning

I'm going to agree with everyone else. There is unlikely to be a price increase between now and November. The bigger question would be if there would be some sort of sale (buy 2 get 1 day free) once the summer season finishes up. If you buy now, I'd consider getting a 2 day ticket. If a 3rd day free comes out, you can upgrade at the park at guest services.
