Play for free offer

[Sleepy]

I need some clarification. IF I book this offer, just how many days to I get free tickets? Say my first day is June 20th and my check out day is June 24. Are the tickets good the day I check in as well as the day I check out?

 

[Sleepy]

Someone? Anyone? I really don't want to pay for an international call and be placed on hold. I've never done a length of stay pass ...not even at Disney (and I am assuming that is what this deal is). Does it mean we are able to use the passes from the time we check in through to and including the day we check out......like with the FOTL?

The ticket are the 5 day ones, i looked into to see if i coud use that deal, but i will be there 9 days so it didnt work for me.

Play 4 Free

I think that the tickets are the same as the tickets which can be purchased by anyone, except they are good for 7 consecutive days beginning with the 1st day that you decide to go into the parks. From Universal's site, "Free tickets are valid for up to seven (7) consecutive days of unlimited admission to both Universal Orlando theme parks from the first day of use."

I've edited my post because I thought that the regular "2-day" ticket deals had been extended to 7 days, but I just checked and the "2-day" tickets for sale now only have an additional 3 days added (making them 5-day tickets). Has this just changed back to the 5-day deal recently? The site still says 7 days for the Play 4 Free...

Hopefully someone will post who has taken advantage of this deal...

what the website says now
Kids stay, play and eat for FREE now through July 31, 2006 including:
Three (3) nights hotel accommodations
Unlimited admission to both Universal Orlando theme parks for up to five (5) consecutive days
Kids Eat FREE at select Universal Orlando theme park restaurants

If you can extend that I dont know, I just took that as written. I figured I would have to pay extra for 9 days and it would be cheaper for me to go a different way. If your kids are the correct ages and you are staying the correct length of time, this is probably a good deal, just didnt work for me ( kids are too old)

There several different ticket offers. The Bonus pass is for 5 days with kids free. If you are staying longer they have a 7 day ticket called a "Stay and Play."

Don't they have different deals for international travelers? I thought I saw a separate site for travelers from Europe. There were different ticket available to the international traveler. I think.

 

[Sleepy]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it! You have answered my questions.

IMGONNABE40!..I will have to look into this. My first thought would be......would I be paying in Euro or American dollars. Not sure if I would even qualify if such a thing exists since I am American. Thanks for the info. Going to check now.

 

[Sleepy]

I can see the link for UK residents, but I don't see anything for the rest of Europe. Maybe I am overlooking something. BTW, the payment would have been in American dollars.

Sorry for the bum tip, sleepy. Don't know why there would be a deal for the UK but not the rest of the world .

Because they have a special deal with Virgin airlines.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and put in some dates to get all of your options.

The "Kids stay, play and eat for FREE" is different from the "Play 4 Free". Website still says 7 days for Play 4 Free

okay , i get it. you want a cookie?

 

[Sleepy]

lindalinda, that deal did not work for us either because my only child is 14, so he needs the adult tickets.......unless they would be willing to combine 2 children tickets into an adult ticket...... Anyway, we are going in August, so the deal is no good to us.........kids stay play free thingie.

drogerstn, that is how I read the website too.......7 consecutive days, which is why I was confused...why have you stay only 4 nights, but give you 7 days in the parks? For me, as long as I can get 5 days in the parks, which is what I would consider a LOS pass for 4 nights, I am happy.

Would the passes be on your room card which is also your FOTL pass?

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in 2002 and had purchased our tickets separately (prior to arrival); they were not added to the room keys. I don't think Unversal adds tickets to room keys; this would be a good question to post under a new title.

I did a search and found one post but now I'm getting server-busy messages...

Universal doesn't put the tickets on the room key.

They can put charging privileges on your room key but not tickets.
