I don't have a Costco near me, but I got 2 year AP's for $184 at AAA. Don't even know if we will use them up , but with 2-3 trips to Orlando per year, I gotta believe that we can at least break even!
This is not only for FL residents. Also it's actually a 15 month pass with a 9 month upgrade if activated by 9/30/07. We just bought them online tonight!! Dh found the deal on Slickdeals.com forum.
Made my day!!
It doesn't specifically call it preferred but it doesn't state any blackout dates.
My tickets were almost total $195 each, which included shipping. I wasn't charged tax, but did have in that price a $9 surcharge on each ticket since I am not a costco member.
I have not received them yet, but bought them for my kids- my wife and I already have annual passes. The website never asked me for their names, so it must be some type of vouchers. I should receive them within a week and I'll update then.
My husband is recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture and is up in the air as to whether he can hike around USF/IOA. I tell him that it is easier than WDW!!! Everything is so much closer at US. Fingers crossed.
No matter how you get your annual pass they are all the same once activated they just have different expiration dates. It does not matter if you purchase the pass online, at the parks, Costco, AAA, or through some other method you will still be able to renew the pass. I have no idea if it will still be $99 a year in 2009 but I do expect the price to go up at some point.
