Single day ticket USO/IOA

[Nubiwan]

Taking wife & 2 boys to universal. Staying onsite. Purchasing 4 or 5 day 3 park passes. 2 daughters gonna join us for a day at tail end of the stay. Would like to get them tickets for a day.

Is it worth buying single day tickets (2 park p2p)?

Will Universal cut me a deal since I’m already paying for 5 nights and tickets?

Where is best place to buy a one day park to park for Universal?

Thanks all…

You are unlikely to find discounts on a 1 day ticket.

There is a deal going on now for buy 3 days get 2 days free, which would work nicely for your 4-5 day crew.

Have daughters been before? Trying to hit just the highlights with them? You could do just one park with the daughters to save some money.

Maybe try different scenarios of ticket/hotel combinations? The 1-day tickets are more expensive, so if it is worth it depends on how much the 2 daughters want to go.

I haven't priced it out, but I would probably look into:
- purchase 1 annual pass for one of the people staying longer. Use that to get a passholder discount on your hotel, and discount on the 1-day tickets for the 2 daughters. The cost of the annual pass is not all that much more than a 4-5 day ticket. The 2 highest passes also come with discounts on all purchases in the park (10/15 percent) which would add up in savings for a family very quickly. You would need to research the cost of this scenario vs. just buying the tickets/hotel as you already planned.

Thanks @Keladry84 . Yeah have considered AP. If I book rooms, do I include myself if I am the APH, or does it just factor the ticket price for rest of the family? What’s the APH link to check hotel stays prices? Thanks again?

You would book the room separately from the tickets/AP. So you'd buy one person the AP then the rest of the party the park tickets.
AP rate link:

That is a direct Universal booking site despite what the link looks like.

Been 4-5 times. They know what they missing? Anyone ever used a Craigslist park employee? I do it years ago. It worked. Inside the park before we paid
