Jacee, the rate I got was the annual membership rate. The regular rate they quoted me was $425. Also, AAA rate is $340. from what i remember the annual mem costed us $159 and depending on what state you are from the AAA runs about $50 per year. I asked for the entertainment rate but they told me they don't have them for kids suites. Depending on the # of nights you are staying and days you will be visiting universal the annual pass will give you a great savings. You also get discounts on many things with the membership. You only need to get one membership for your family to get the discounts. Then we will be purchasing either the 5 day bonus passes or the reg annual memberships for the rest of our group (havent decided yet). Make sure you call and see if they have any AAA or annual membership rates available for the time you need before you purchase the plan. You dont need the membership at the time you make your reservations just at check in and from what I hear sometimes they dont even check to see if you have it then.
