So should we be comparing to the 81 Regular Season home games? Because Universal/Disney still looks like a steal comparatively.Ok but that is the WORLD SERIES. Lol
Food prices as wellSo should we be comparing to the 81 Regular Season home games? Because Universal/Disney still looks like a steal comparatively.
Uh? Yes? That’s what any vacation package thing does it.OVERCHARGES you. That’s how they get a little cut. I find it cheaper and rather better to just book everything myself. Can’t wait till the new universal hotel is up. That will save me probably 1500-1800 a year. Or I’ll go a extra trip might actually see Christmas events next year.We got free parking at Royal Pacific with Virgin when we last went. I do wonder if they just bundle it into the base price though.

Really I’ll try itNot necessarily with Virgin as you can cook it separate and still get all the benefits. I booked Hard Rock through Virgin holidays this year and it was £400 cheaper than every where else. I booked my flights separate with my air miles and Disney hotel through hotels.com.
They make more money off of you the more you come/stay...So it makes senseIt's pretty wild how cheap APs are.
A 3-Park non-FL-resident Premier Pass is $587.19. That's the equivalent of buying 5 1-day value passes.
* Yes I know that's a flawed comparison but I'm just trying to prove a point. You would think that the difference between a one-day pass and an AP would be orders of magnitude.
And I don't think that's quite correct.Two day, two park tickets have increased to $10.
The IU front page article says
And I don't think that's quite correct.
I assume they increased by $10 not to $10.Why is that?

The hotels aren't operating at a loss that requires higher ticket prices. Also the convenience of on site at universal is less pronounced due to the fact that the resort and surrounding area is more compact than the Disney sprawl. They probably feel the need to be a bit more competitive with area hotels. You can chalk up cheaper hotels to less infrastructure cost and sustained occupancy too I'm sure.This is such a difference from the way UOR prices hotels.
Disney has been making everything super expensive. Yet, Universal keeps raising ticket prices while keeping hotel prices reasonable. Most of their value hotels are actually quite cheap.
It just seems super weird to me. You either make everything pricer (get more money out of guests) or you make everything cheaper (attract more guests). Universal's all over the place when it comes to pricing.
Prices are sky high enough as it is. I think you should pay more for daily express or the premium annual pass in that case which already make waits longer for those "little guys" aka the middle class. But hey in modern america some people are trained to advocate for the corporation to screw the middle class to benefit rich people. God help us if the filthy plebs getting in the way of their experience.Step one is done. Step two should be to raise the APs significantly more. In particular the seasonal (or just drop it altogether). I know, heresy. But I’m selfish and want the little guy left out in the cold so I can have less crowds. :fight:
