Universal Annual 2 Park Power Pass

[Neoshoegal]

Any disadvantages to this pass? We're off at the end of next week for a work trip and will have a day or 2 to spend at Universal. Then in May we're going to WDW for my birthday and will also have a few days to spend Universal so thinking of getting this annual pass. As it's so much cheaper as the other annual passes, I'm just wondering if there are any major drawbacks.

Not up on these tickets but I know parking is not included or discounts.
Wil it be just 1 year or renewing year after year?
If you are going to renew then the full AP with free parking only costs $99/year. They cost an extra $60 each in 1st year but with parking costing $11 a day it adds up.
We also save a lot with the discounts on food and buying tickets for other people.
Only you know how you will use them.
Good luck deciding

It is quite unlikely that we will be renewing next year. Also the next pass up is $60 more expensive per person. I'd be surprised if we'd spend that much on parking (currently planning about 5 days visits, maybe a few more if we can go again in November) an we don't tend to be big spenders on in park food/souvenirs.
Would it be possible to get 1 Preferred pass and 1 Power pass, it's only the 2 of us going?

That is exactly what we did - I got a Preferred and DH got the Power Pass. That way we got the free parking and discounts on drinks/food etc. and it only cost us the extra $60 (which we easily saved in one holiday)

Yes thats the way I would do it, just get 1 preferred AP. The $60 will be saved on 5/6 days parking then discounts off food/drinks/cinema/Blue Man Group and numerous other stuff.
Our AP's at $99/year almost pay for themselves in parking and discounts.

Where can I find the price and details on the Power Pass? Sounds interesting.
