Universal/IOA discount with kids

[LuvOrlando]

I just got a great deal from info I got at Mousesavers.

My family of 4 is heading to Universal in a little over a week and the tip just saved us $150 or so. For the longest time I couldn't find any discounts below $85/pp for a total of almost $400 including tax THis morning I did a quick check and used a link that allows for park hopping kids free for 3 days. I paid $238.

I won't post the link since Mousesavers should get the traffic but take a look if you are taking kids with you.

I just found a similar post here that warns that some of the tickets from this link expire in March but I'm not sure if the 3 day kids free one is included. I set it up for electronic pick-up at the park and printed out all my pages so if there is any problem they will, hopefully, honor what I have.

I'm going very soon so I'll post what happened when I get back

The 3 days/kids free one from the Brazil mousesavers link is the one that expires the end of March. (editted to add that I now see that mousesavers has removed this link). However, there is also a free kids one at the UK site that doesn't expire until the end of this year and it also includes Wild Water Kingdom. Edit

I think this board finally got those two deals figured out after many, many emails and responses.

Unfortunately, the mousesavers link didn't originally post the expiry and that caused some issues and panic over here to people who bought the tickets expecting them to last at least until the end of the year.

So a U.S. resident can buy tix from the UK site and use them with no probs?

I used my home address and USA is listed right on my e-mail receipt.

There is no mention that only UK residents can use the links.

I will post what happens when I get back

I'm glad to see that mousesavers has finally put some clarification up with their links after all our running around to figure out where the original link was coming from and help people to solve their expiry problems. I wonder if there were a lot of people who encountered the same problems with their original one link to the Brazil site and contacted them. Or I wonder if the ticket office contacted them since so many of us were reporting our concerns to them.

The Brazil link is no longer even on the mousesavers site, just the UK link is. Originally, it was just the Brazil link with no explanation of the expiry date being the end of March, 2007.

I used the UK $112 3 day kids free option for myself and DH with our 2 kids this Monday and it worked just fine.

I don't remember any expiration dates printed on the tickets but I brought all my printouts just in case. WHen I find the tickets I'll try an scan them in but they looked just like ever other ticket I ever got

I just checked the tickets and there is no mention of them being related to the UK site or of an expiration date other than the fact they expire 13 days from the first use.

Still, I would take all paperwork printed off the computer.
