Ticket Upgrade Question

[DonnaLeah]

I apologize in advance if this has been asked a million and one times already, but would it be possible to upgrade the 7 Day tickets to a Power Pass at Guest Services?
I have noticed some pretty awesome hotel AP discounts. I was just curious; have already ordered 3 tickets online.

I was going to do that...From what I was told at reservations the power pass does not give aph discounts...you have to get the regular annual pass. Or at least thats what I understood. If anyone has other info on that please lmk. I would rather upgrade to the lowest priced ap because we wont be going again until 2010.

Thanks for the replies!!

I remember that parking and discounts didn't apply to the Power Pass. I just had a "DUH" moment; the hotel discounts never clicked.

If you stay 3 nights at RPR the savings would nearly pay for a preferred AP, as the difference in price for the summer is quite a bit.
Std room Supersaver rate is $207 & $220
While price for AP rate is $146 & $155

if i lived in orlando, i would buy the power pass as i would not be needing a hotel room or need the discounts for food and beverages. i would be using it for park admittance only.

since i live out of town, i buy the preferred annual pass and use it for the discounts. i stay on site so it is more beneficial for us than the power pass.

Great point, macraven!! Definitely something to think about!!

I appreciate the opinions!! I knew the Universal experts would guide me in the right direction!!
