Universal express passes - July

lme30005 · 6 Oct 19, 10:51 PM

We are visiting next July so assuming it's going to be busy. We have APs but want to get express passes. A little confused by the website - if you choose the 2 park option, is that 2 parks in one day? If going over 2 days, I assume 1 park per day is the cheapest option? I can't see any further than December for express pass prices - does anyone know know roughly how much prices are in July?

The other option is 1 night in a hotel and as there are 6 of us, the cheapest room is currently coming up at around �800. But it depends how much July passes cost to buy

The 2 park option allows access to both parks in the one day.

Cheapest I can find currently (Oct, Nov, Dec) is $89.99pp for the 2 park and $79.99 for the 1 park - going to $189.99pp

So I�d probably just work our best and worse case scenario for prices. But if you want 2 days worth it still seems like a hotel stay would be the most cost effective.

They can go up to around $180pp pre tax for the 2 park unlimited pass. July is a busy time so it�ll be in the higher price bracket, starting around $140pp at an educated guess. You�ll have to add tax on top of that too.

For 6 of you in July it�ll be highly likely the hotel stay will be cheaper, more relaxing and you�ll get 2 days worth of passes!

I expected that July prices would be at the upper end of the scale. Need to work it all out with tax included. The hotel option does seem cheapest for 2 days, just a bit more hassle I guess to turn up to Portofino very early one morning, get the passes, then drive to the Universal parking garage (for free AP parking). Trying to justify paying �800 for express passes for 2 days!

The hotel stay was for 2 rooms with a few people in each, correct?

Otherwise they may be recommending you a suite or something of that caliber.

I can safely say you'll get the use out of the express passes, but as you say it's a big outlay to get to that point.

The quote was for 1 room for 6 people, thought that would be cheaper than 2 rooms? Will have a look

As far as I was aware it was 5 to a room max at the hotel, so I was wondering if they are selecting a suite for you.

I could be wrong of course, but worth a look.
