Math flunky here~will it benefit me to upgrade to season pass?!

[michelepa]

Here's my scenario:
We are going to Universal for the first time during spring break dates for this are March 26-28.
March 26th just me and my daughter will be going to the park.
March 27th and March 28th my husband is coming with me and my daughter because I can't take those simulator rides they make me feel so sick.
However, my husband is a huge pain in the a$$ when it comes to crowds and lines so I am desperately trying to figure out a way that I won't strangle him on this trip.
My sanity overrides costs, to an extent for this trip.
So, I was thinking for the dates my husband is with us March 27th -March 28th I will need early admission and express passes and the most cost effective way of getting both is reserving a room at an onsite preferred hotel.
Of the three preferred, I think my daughter would Love HRH since she is a bass and guitar player at School of Rock and knows all the rock legends featured at the hotel.

HRH price for an overnight is 439+tax.

but if I upgraded my Undercover Tourist 2 day park to park (with one day free ticket) to a season pass it would bring the cost of the room down to $284.99 + tax.

Undercover tourist ticket cost me $250.26.

So here's my questions(s):
Is it true, as people have posted, that I can upgrade my UT ticket to a season pass?

Does it make financially sense?
(I think it would save me alittle more than $100 if I booked the room with a season pass rate but I'm not certain if I am crunching these numbers correctly.)

Thanks everyone for your help!

It cost me $10.60 to upgrade my buy 2 get 1 free UT ticket. Just upgrade after you use it.

Did you upgrade at guest services in the park or did you upgrade in another way?

I upgraded at guest services in the Studios park.

I had planned to only upgrade 1 of our tickets for the AP hotel discount, but when I found out it was only $10, we upgraded all 5. So, in the end, I probably will not save money as it will make us go again. LOL

Op, I Just put in your dates w/ Aph and hrh was $284 for standard room and view


Book the room with the AP
Upgrade one of the adult passes to AP once you are in the park

You can show the AP at the hotel later that evening
