Is purchasing the Entertainment book worth it?

[Zoemakes5]

If I purchased one, it would be for our weeklong trip next spring break, the week before Easter. I will already have a AAA card. It would be an orlando book, but I live in MN.
What kinds of coupons are in there? I'm staying off site, so would it be worth it?
Thanks

A lot would mostly depend on how much offsite you're eating. As well as would it be possible to get an entertainment rate for your hotel (which would be hard for Easter week). You can go right to the entertainment website and view what types of coupons are available in the books for a given city. Just remember not to buy until the new books come out in the fall for next year.

I purchased one this year for our trip but honestly I didn't think it was worth it. I got it for 50% off so it wasn't too expensive but it really didnt have a lot of coupons in it that we would use. I just gave it away hoping it helps someone else.

Mousesavers had a Walmart code that was better at the last minute than my Entertainment code for our car rental. (Main reason I got the book) Also, there are coupon books all over Orlando area for restaurants, stores, etc. If you have AAA you can use that and the Orlando Magic Card is free if you want to sign up for that as well.

I found the Entertainment Book to have a lot of coupons for dry cleaners, etc. which makes sense for residents of the area but they weren't of any interest for us on vacation.

If you can get an entertainment rate for your hotel it is definately worth it. We are staying at the Doubletree at the entrance to Universal and the rate I received was almost 50% off. Way better than the AAA rate. Good Luck

I purchased an entertainment book from the area I live in, and it had a coupon good for a discount at the Universal Studios resort we stayed at.

Since we were there 2 nights, it paid for itself. I think you can go online and see what coupons are in your area book and then decide if it would be a good deal.

I have the Orlando entertainment book (being that we live in the vicinity).
We certaily have gotten our money from it. It depends if you want to be off site at all.
The Grosvenor offers either a BOGO on the buffet or half off, which is the same. If two people eat there, that would almost pay for the book alone for only one meal.
