Annual pass holder universal hotel/upgrade

Hello would really appreciate a steer on this please.
I want to enquire about upgrading our Uk tickets -14 day ones, not bought yet - to annual pass ones.
The reason being I wonder if we’d benefit from the price of hotels and entry to epic?
We need 4 nights at a universal hotel before going up Disney.
Would love to do the premiere ones to avail of front of line tickets.
What is involved in upgrading up get annual pass.
Does everyone staying need to upgrade to use the pass holders hotel discount or can one person make the booking?
Is there a general time when the 15 months offer is on?
How do you find out the costs involved and what other benefits there would be?
Thanks very much.

So I wouldn't buy a UK pass knowing that I wanted to upgrade anyway I'd just buy the UAP. Only one person needs the UAP to get the discounts BUT & we come across this (not something that will be an issue if you are staying onsite) only the 2 higher tiers get Early entry - we have one preferred & one seasonal & although we had near enough 3 weeks of both getting in DW was stopped on our last day, I didn't know that it was restricted. Next issue is Epic, the UK tickets get 1 day but UAP has to pay & it's a set day as you have to book it, now you could go to Epic then upgrade but the general consensus is that they would subtract the cost of that day from your value but no one knows for sure. To get the Hotel discounts (by the way it's not every room or Hotel) you would need to have the UAP at check in, all other discounts can only be accessed after you have activated the pass. My prefered was $630+tax at 6.5%, just not sure if it's good value unless you plan a 2nd holiday out of it. Not sure if there will be a 15/12 this year as they start to factor in UAP that include Epic

Fantastic thank you very much.
With my over thinking I’d not realised I could simply buy the UAP rather than upgrade.
I thought you could get extra days to Epic with AP, yes I realise they need to be booked - are they not included on the cost of the AP?

There’s multiple threads in the ticket forum on the AP, epic, upgrading, buying online. The hotel discount is worthwhile on short stays. 5nights plus and the discounts aren’t much different as universal discounts longer stays anyway.

Not included withy UAP but they will allow you to buy some So it's a total of 6 but it seems it's 6 for the person with the UAP as opposed to 6 to share but I could be wrong & it's worth asking as you can buy F&F passes for the other parks. Sliding scale on pricing for Sept 17th it was $130+ tax, the week before was $120 +tax

Thanks very much, I’ll make some enquiries about F&F passes for Epic, that’s a brilliant point
