Senior Class Trip Quote Opinions

[tycon07]

I received a group quote from Universal for 14 rooms (4per room). It was 224 per night per room. So for the three nights we will be staying in late May next year, it will cost each student $168 for the HRH. Also, they quoted me 95.81 for a 5-day pass. I need your opinions on if they are ripping me off or is is really a 'group discount'? Thanks, Tyler

That seems about right. It's a slight discount on tickets and "low season" rate on the room...which is actually pretty good. (Does that include the 12.5% hotel tax? If so its definitly a good rate)
I wouldn't say it's a huge discount by any means though. Although, I always thought Univesal required 15 rooms for a group discount...but maybe that was just Disney...
If your unsure about it, check out some of the discount sites such as expedia...I've gotten the Royal Pacific for as low as $184 through there (regular season) (before tax + "service fee").
However, I believe there are several travel agent like services that cater to groups (particulary school groups) coming to Orlando to vist the theme park, you might want to try to check some of them out (Sorry...for the life of me I can't remeber any names...I'll post 'em if I do though).

Good luck!

The prices do include all taxes and 'fees' (maybe service fees.) Universal Orlando told me that 10 or more rooms is considered a group.

If that rate includes taxes and service fees...it's definitly a very good deal!
