    Annual Pass help

    From the UO website: What happens at the end of my 12 month term? Flexible Payment Annual Passes and/or Seasonal Passes automatically renew at the end of the 12 month billing period. After the initial 12 month term, monthly payments are subject to change because you won’t be charged a down...

    To package or not to package

    One of the major differences is the fees that you pay if you make any changes to your package. With room and tickets only, you can make changes and even cancel you room within 6 days of arriving.

    Season Pass Perks?

    Rooms with AP rates come out at different times. Right now, you can book up to the end of September. These rates have been out for a month or so. At other times, AP rates may come out a couple of months in advance. The blockout calendar is posted at the beginning of every year.

    Season Pass Perks?

    Most types of rooms are available with an AP, however, they are in limited quantities. Only one person in the room needs an AP. If you eat out, the person with the AP needs to pay the entire bill. Remember, there are no food discounts with the Season Pass. Pay attention to block out dates...

    Pandora Pre-Opening Standpoint Check-in?

    Although I am happy that something else is going into AK, it still irks me that this is not something like a Jungle Book land that my grandkids would be excited about.

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    In the new website, it doesn't list concert days as block-out days for Universal Studios for the seasonal pass. It has them listed in the old website. I wonder if this is a change in the pass or an oversight with the new website.

    New Seasonal Pass Option

    No, they aren't available at the kiosks. You have to get them at the ticket booths and the ticket counters at the hotels will print them out for you as well.

    Attendance Tracker

    And my family is the opposite. None of us want to go back to WDW. On our last split vacation, my 6 year old niece said that next time she only wanted to go to Universal. They all hated the waiting for buses and waiting in line and the issues we had with my mother in a wheelchair at the parks...

    Toothsome Chocolate Emporium

    At Disney you don't usually get your first choice so you need options. At Uni, if you want to eat at Mythos at 5, you can generally eat at Mythos at 5. You can't make reservations for Cowfish anywhere. I don't see how the website is bad. I clicked on dining which gave me a drop down menu and...

    Adding an Additional Day to Tickets

    You can upgrade anytime before the ticket expires. If you've bought your ticket at a discount, use the ticket first to get full gate value for it. It should only cost you $10 plus tax to add an extra day.

    Parking at Hotels

    If you are only going to be parking during the luau, I can see why you could say it wasn't fair. However, if you are going to be parking for your entire stay then it is perfectly fair.

    Customer service fail

    When we went to Epcot with my 90 year old mother, there was not one wheelchair in the area where the buses let off. She had to walk all the way to the wheelchair rental from the buses, stopping every couple of minutes to rest. We asked a CM but they were no help at all. We had a very opposite...

    Universal Dining Plan Question

    You can't get a package with an AP. What I would do, if you aren't wanting to carry money for food, is to just charge everything to your room key and then pay at the end of the stay. You're going to have to carry your room key with you anyways.

    Disney Deluxe vs Portofino Bay

    Portofino is on par with the Grand Floridian. The rooms are much nicer than Wilderness Lodge. You can't really compare the atmosphere, though. One is supposed to be a park lodge and one is supposed to be an Italian luxury destination. PBH definitely has the getaway feel to it but it is more...
