I’ve gone to Universal Orlando many times over the years, but this is the first time I’m considering purchasing annual passes. We are planning to go on June 2022, and if my calculations are correct, it will work out cheaper to buy my kids the seasonal passes and myself the preferred pass than to buy all of us the explorer tickets (which is what I’ve always done). While the preferred pass is $80 more than the explorer ticket, I will more than make up for that by saving on Uber fees as well as using the food discount. My question is this- is there a usual time/month when universal raises the cost of the passes? All of my calculations are based on the current listed prices, and I want to be sure to purchase them before costs go up. That leads to my second question- I was holding off purchasing them now because I was hoping there would be a chance universal would offer the three free months for new pass holders (this would give us the possibility of being able to use our passes at least twice making them an even better deal financially). Anyone have any guesses whether this offer is likely to happen before summer or before pass prices go up? Finally, the seasonal passes will work for my kids bc there are no blackout dates in June 2022. However, before I purchase them, I want to make sure it’s not common place for universal to add in blackout dates. I already have our vacation dates and hotel worked out, so I can’t switch our dates. Thank you!
