We go in a two week half term in October. We usually have between 9 and 11 nights-often find flight prices go up a lot if you try to squeeze an extra night in. So far we have just stayed onsite at Disney.
We tend to do half to 3/4 days in the parks and 6 days like that does Disney for us. We like to have a couple of non park days usually a mixture of shopping and relaxing at the resort, and may do an evening on one of those days if we feel like it. I guess as our six days includes 2 at MK to get everything done and then a third to mop up anything we missed and do our favourites we could get by with 5 park days but we’d still need one rest day there and probably most of another on the “transfer” day, so a minimum Disney stay for us is 7 nights, but it’s feeling a bit rushed to me and less like fun. For 2022 if we do Universal next year then I guess we don’t need much time there on a return trip so three whole days would do, so I guess it just fits in particularly if flight prices allow 12 nights but that’s our maximum due to school (and a bit of time to recover from jet lag) My concern is my son doesn’t like big rides he doesn’t even like Mine Train, Thunder Mountain and Test Track so Universal was a back up plan for this year when we couldn’t commit to paying up our deposit only Disney Tickets. As I said not sure in our circumstances two years worth of Universal trips are such good value as they may be for others. |

If you buy an annual pass do you get any reductions in hotel stays. The perks imply that you do but I couldn't see why this could be applied?

All levels of pass get AP room discounts. You can search for AP rates about 3 months in advance using this link :-

Word of warning though when I was looking at this when the 15 months A/P was first offered, the discounts weren’t that great. In fact for many room types the standard rates offered by Universal were better. However all Universal rooms are cancelable up to about a week before so you could book something and then keep an eye out for any good AP rates later. The rates I just looked at for this October when we should have been going look fantastic though!

Does anyone know either the historic blackout days or when they confirm blackout days for 2021? We normally go in October half term but BA prices are relatively good last half of August which we could still do. From what I can see it’s normally first half of August you can’t use seasonal passes at Volcano bay, so wonder if that is the usual pattern, as if so could get away with Seasonal passes.

The blackout days move with Easter, you can see the pattern by comparing what days Easter Monday has fallen on in previous years.
Also most US schools usually go back on the Monday closest to 15 August so that is when the August black out will usually end. |

Hi
I take it you can only pick up the AP's at the guest services window and they don't post them to the Uk (daft question sorry) Do you get an order number to show when you pick them up? We have never had AP's before but always toyed with the idea and this seems like a good offer as we will be going twice in the 15 months Thanks Mike |
