To renew the premier pass...$106 as long as its within 30 days of the pass expiring.

Anyone know if these passes can be ordered over the phone and shipped to another state? We're in Ohio.

Has anyone been told how long these passes might be available? Our trip is still a month away.

Thanks!

I don't know if they can be mailed to another state but I can tell you no one knows how long these specials will last...they could end at any time.

Is there any way to get one of these passes (at $99.99) if you are not a FL resident ?

Thanks

I may be getting confused but I do not believe you need to be a FL resident to qualify for the pass. It does have to be picked up in person, though, at a AAA office in FL, TN or GA. Do what I did - call the AAA office you think you will use to pick up the tickets. I called Bradenton's office and they were very helpful. I think the best deal is the Sr Citizen pass good throug the end of the year with no black out dates for $79. My aunt and uncle are visiting with us in 2 weeks and for 4 days in July and can purchase these tickets because they are 55 years old. (Very young 55!) They are very excited about this great deal. This is there first visit and I told them after visiting for the first time, they will want to get as much use out of the pass as possible before the end of the year!!!

The ones to order online from the Universal website say FL residents only.

We actually live in the UK, and are staying in Orlando in March.

We are not taking a car, so I'm not sure if there is an AAA office near the international drive area.

At the prices you quote, I would be looking for an adult ticket AND a senior one.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
Daniel

Unfortunately not...the closest true AAA office is located on Colonial Drive which is a long way from I-Drive.

i called the Kissimmee AAA office when i was shopping around for best deal almost 2 years ago & inquired if FL residency or membership in their AAA was necessary to purchase their offerings.

i was told as long as the tix didn't have a senior or resident stipulation, anybody was eligible & that I could purchase in person @ any of their local offices or could input an Orlando zip code and sign in as a non-member on their site to purchase (reason being the site would re-direct to my local AAA office). The site is very clear as to which passes r restricted i.e. u must appear in person to purchase (ex: 2 park sr pass)

note that i was charged the full 'non-member' price, still much lower than my local AAA was offering, even factoring in the S&H.

they were shipped to my home, no fuss-no muss. I was able to upgrade them @ the park gate along with the coupon needed for the AP deal that was running later than summer

 

[djb2002]

How do you sign in as a non member ? - Everytime I try it asks for an AAA membership number.

Thanks
Daniel

 

[keishashadow]

um, not sure what u mean

go to the site (may want to clear ur cookies 1st if ur automatically logged into ur AAA office)

http://www.aaasouth.com/map_loc_attractions.asp?zip=33760
(if link doesn't work for u just do a search for aaa south attraction tickets to find the right entry to page)

 

[ICan'tWait]

Does AAA send a voucher or the actual ticket - meaning we wouldn't have to show proof of residency (in case the subject came up....)

 

[djb2002]

um, not sure what u mean

Sorry - Couldn't see it for looking.

Found it now.

Unfortunately it would seem I have to have it delivered to my credit card address - I was hoping to have it delivered to a hotel over in Orlando

Thanks
Daniel

sorry it didn't work out for u, better luck next time

Maybe a strange question, but what is there is stop you ordering the $99.99 on the Universal website, and then use the automated ticket machine to collect your ticket ?

Surely the machine doesn't ask for any documentation for Florida Resident status ??

Thanks

No...just the confirmation # and credit card used.
