Great deal on Sea World/Busch Gardens annual pass!

[Buschfan]

New deal in the AAA South magazine. $99.95 for both Sea World and Busch Gardens for 1 year. Silver pass with free parking and discounts. Have to purchase by12/31 and redeem by 3/15. This is better than the previous fun card deal! Glad to see Universal and the Busch parks continuing to offer affordable passes!

Do you think Disney will ever learn?
discount passes = higher attendance = people spend money & stay onsite

I agree totally Cheryl. Disney does not get it with what they need to do to increase attendance. To just discount rooms is not enough. The $109 Disney pass for just a 4 day admission that has to be used during a short-window before Thanksgiving is the biggest joke.

Ever see the Disney AP discounts? Free parking is the best, but like 10% off a Grand Floiridian massage? 10% won't matter much. I'd rather have 10% off food.

No use for a massage here either Barry. I will take Universal's 10% discount on food anyday. I get 10% off anyway on food with the AAA at Universal. It is nice they offer this perk to season pass holders though. Everyone buys food at the parks, but a massage discount is a useless perk for most people.

I agree!! Disney definately needs to offer more FL resident discounts. The only tickets that Disney allows AAA to discount for members is the annual passes and the 5/6 park hoppers. All of the other attractions allow the one day passes to be discounted for members. I think this stinks!! Luckily when I bought my Disney Seasonal AP (for the first time this year) I got the standard 10% AAA discount but I also got an extra 5% off cuz I am an employee of AAA. Still was mighty expensive though!!!!

It is sad that buying a 1-day advance pass at AAA for Disney yields no discount. It didn't used to be this way. There were windows during the year that AAA members got discounts for 1-day passes in the late 90's. It amuses me when the AAA magazine comes out and the discount section says $0 savings at Disney on the 1-day passes. The only attraction listed that is excluded from a discount. I still love AAA and know it is not AAA's fault for the lack of discounts at Disney.

I am glad that you realize that is it not our (AAA's) fault. It is totally up to Disney. I mean you would think that they could spare a few bucs - too greedy I guess. Its a shame!

Barry, if you *buy* a Disney dining Card you can save 20% off most Disney restaurants. Even though you have to buy it, you will save if you dine at Disney a lot. It would be nice if it the discount was included like the US/IOA AP.

How much does Disney get for this dining discount card that is already incuded in the Busch and Universal passes? I am almost afraid to ask.

Sixty big ones! It is worth it if you dine there a lot.
