Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 As was expected Universal raised it's ticket prices today. One day ticket now $102.00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yep. Trying to keep up with the Joneses Disney. Too bad though.... I was kind-of hoping that they would drop their prices, then maybe more folks would go there instead of Disney. Lower prices... yeah, that's never happening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I figured they'd follow suit. Gotta pay for all that Harry Potter awesomeness somehow! A 1 day, 2 park ticket is now $147 - and if you want to ride Hogwarts Express and see all that Harry Potter awesomeness, that's what you're going to need. However they are offering a buy 2 day get one free ticket right now, and that deal seems to run quite a bit. Also their non-resident annual passes are a LOT cheaper than Disney's (haven't looked at resident prices). If you're planning to go at least 2 days in a 12 month period, the base AP is only $215, and that includes park hopping. That's what we bought last year, figuring we'd go a couple of days both trips. That one has blockout dates, but they didn't apply in our case. The Premier Pass with all the extras and no blockouts is $435 and you can pay for it monthly with their FlexPay plan.

This trip down there we had planned on going to Universal for at least one day but at these prices will buy the two day and depending upon any restrictions see about the BOGO. This makes my day (just got done shoveling the drive and walkway so just about anything could to that. ). Thanks for posting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 If you haven't been to UO recently, there's a ton of new stuff in the last couple of years to see/do, even aside from all the Harry Potter stuff, which you could spend an entire day on all by itself.

Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah but do they have fancy bracelets? No, but your existing fancy bracelet is just as functional there as it is at Disney :D keith_h and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 We talked about doing seaworld and universal next time we go to orlando. UT offers a ticket called the Flex Pass or City pass. I can't remember. IIRC you get unlimited access to UO, islands of adventure, seaworld, Aquatica, and a few other parks for $300 +. For 14 consecutive days. It sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm traveling so I can't look up the exact details but I'm sure someone will Moogle it and post the correct info asap. Lol.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 UT offers a ticket called the Flex Pass or City pass. I can't remember.

That one is also good for 14 consecutive days and the cost is $355.95 for adults, $335.95 for kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
