:) Has anyone bought universal annual pass from the uk?

Hi there
We were looking to buy our universal tickets before we went, and upgrade them to annual passes when we get there!
But we were just looking on universal website and it would work out cheaper if we just purchased our passes directly with them.
Has anybody done this? How do you get your tickets if you buy them? Has we are in the uk?
Would really like Some more help & info please if anyone could help

Hi, I bought my annual pass last year directly from the Universal website then picked them up from guest services when I got to Orlando. Had no issues.

Does the annual date start on date of first use? i.e. if I bought the annual pass now, would my year start when I first visit next August and run until August 2021?

I printed out my email confirmation and took that with me to guest services. There's an order confirmation number in the email which they needed to find my ticket.

It starts the day of first use. I bought mine last year in September but I didn't collect it and use it until the end of November and it runs out the end of November this year.

Well, doesn't this all just sound like the perfect excuse for an extra Universal trip now...

I ordered the power AP’s last week, paid half upfront and the rest in monthly instalments. We will pick them up when we visit in May next year. It worked out so much cheaper than getting two lots of 14 day tickets! (We are also visiting next December too) I had to double check the price lol 😂

This comes with a MASSIVE WARNING! Be aware !

We bought annual passes from U.K. as worked our Cheaoer, we upgraded one to get free parking was only $100 more so no brainer as also got 10% off most things in park. No need for all just one to her the free parking pass.

Collected with photo Id and all working brilliantly until ...

We could justify going back in by same annual year as we had tickets 😂😂 ended up at 3 trips in 12 months and no disney ! Loved it and went three times for the price of one! And no planning six months in advance !

Tip if you want a water park Seaworld pass works out less then third park option and gives you both aquatica and seaworld.

Enjoy
