I've totally bamboozled myself with regards to Universal AP

Please save my Saturday night before my head explodes!

I am off to US in October this year and have 3 park explorer passes. Yesterday I booked another trip for February so was wondering what my options are with regards to upgrading to 3 park annual passes. I have read the multiple threads on this forum but instead of clarifying the situation, it has confused the hell out of me

My questions are

Firstly can I upgrade to a 3 park annual pass?

Secondly, what would be the cost roughly?

Thirdly, when and where do I do the upgrade?

Thanks

I had 3 park (14 day) tickets.
As I hadn’t been to volcano bay they offer you 3 park annual Power passes for an additional $115 or 2 park Power pass for $15. If you have been to volcano bay you can only upgrade to 3 park annual passes.
The only thing to watch out for is the type of annual pass. The power pass suited me because it has no block out dates in July for both parks. ( The 3 park power pass does have July blocked out for volcano bay though.)
Yes it is all confusing.
Go to customer services at the parks, IOA has two, one outside the entrance and one inside to the right, use that one as less busy.

Thanks for the reply.

Am I right in thinking the seasonal pass is the cheapest option? All I really want is 3 park admission. I wont be driving so don't need the free parking etc

Thanks

Seasonal pass is cheapest block out in July and End of December.

Yes, the Seasonal Pass will be your cheapest option.

The 3-Park Seasonal Pass currently costs $384 + tax = $409.

It appears that Universal might be pricing the 14-Day 3-Park Explorer pass at around $350 based on some recent posts.

Therefore, the difference in price is around $60 per person and that should be the approximate upgrade price.
