OK...I don't need the Preferred Annual Pass to get the best hotel rate at RPR, FLA/GA resident gets the same rate.

So my ticket choices are:

A) 4 15-month AAA passes for 115.00 each

B) 1 Preferred Annual pass for 174.95(AAA rate) and 3 15-month AAA passes

Price difference is $60.00....

Staying on property, so I don't need free parking at the parks.
AAA card gets food/drink discounts, although not quite as much as Preferred Annual Pass.

DO I NEED 1 Preferred Annual Pass for anything I'm not thinking about?

Thanks for your patience.
 
Does the AAA pass work like a power pass? If so, then I don't believe there are any food/merchandise discounts. To make up the $60, you'd have to spend about $400 on food/merchandise.

I'd think the ultimate choice between the two passes comes down to the black-out dates.
 
cat14,
The only reason we get one PAP and the others Power Passes is for the free parking. Since you're staying onsite, that shouldn't be an issue. Other than the blackout dates, the Power Pass functions the same as a PAP.
Have a great trip!
 
Thanks for the replies.

Gcurling, The 15 month AAA pass does work like the power pass(no discounts on food and merchandise.) BUT....my actual AAA membership card gets me 10% off food and merchandise at select locations. Not as much as the PAP, but it's still a discount.
Anyone else know of ANY reason I would want a PAP?
 

When are you going and when are you planning return trips? If they do as usual, Burger King will have coupon 2 yrs for the price of one this spring. I believe they only have the coupons in FL and south GA.
 
we live so close that everyone in my family has PAP
its really so we dont have the blackout dates(we go almost every other day)
 
Sha lyn,

Thanks for the info. I'm leaning toward the 15 month AAA for now. I'll probably get a PAP when I see the 2 years for the price of 1.
 
question about the 2 year for price of one
when and how do u get it
i already have a valid PAP until next march but im curious to find out about the 2 for 1 thingy????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
Last spring Iread about the 2for one here on the DIS. aprently Burger King has had the coupons each spring for a few yrs. Some here said you had to buy a combo and only received 1 coupon per combo. A friend of DH's from FL gave DH several and I sent those out to some here on the DIS. Someone here actually was PM'ing the code but I felt better having the paper in hand incase we needed it.

They had to redeemed online or at the gate by June 30 I believe. We redeemed ours around mid june online and picked them up/activated them July 2nd when we arrived in FL. The passes actually expire June 30 2006 instead of 24 months form the date of activation. If redeemed before June 30 2004 I believe the passes expire 24 months from that date
