Can someone kindly check my math?
I am considering a mid January trip for 5 days. 2 adults, neither of us are AP holders, but I'm considering buying one seasonal AP. Blackout dates won't apply. APH hotel rates are pretty good (not for all dates consecutively, but we may end up moving hotel stays midway). We've only ever stayed at the first 3 original hotels which offer express pass, so that's where we'd stay. I'd like to stay at Helios for our
EPIC days.
These aren't exact numbers, but they're in the ballpark:
3 day, 2 park to park, plus one day EPIC - roughly $850 for 2 adults. An additional day at EPIC would be roughly $400. Total would be $1250.
One Seasonal AP - $425. Includes both parks, but not EPIC. Two days at EPIC - $400.
Add 1/2 of the total above for one adult ($625) and my total with an AP would be $1450.
It doesn't seem like much of a difference when you consider that the APH discount for some of the more pricey hotels is anywhere between $100 and $150 per night.
Am I missing something?
It's been 10 years since our last Universal trip; so much has changed!
