Most of the permanent restaurants in both parks will offer AP discounts...food carts do not. Most of the CityWalk restaurants will also offer discounts but you have to check at each establishment to make sure they take it. The best advice I can give you is....show your pass everywhere.Is there a list of restaurants that offer the discounts? We are looking for chocolate emporium and the ones in HP area specifically. I have read some reviews that people got them, but not completely sure.

Don't forget...the Preferred AP will also include parking so if you visit a lot it will pay for itself in no time.Thanks! We are upgrading our passes to the power annual pass and were debating upgrading one to the preferred annual pass for the discounts. Just trying to figure out if it is worth it or not.
It’s excludedCan anyone tell me if the discount on food really excludes the Quick Service Dining Plan? Or does it depend on where you buy it?
Pretty much every sit down and counter service "permanent" restaurant on site gives the discount. Don't forget discounts on merchandise and Freestyle recharges (must be done at a "permanent" location, like a restaurant).]
I didn't save every receipt over the past year, but I am confident that I save more than enough in discounts alone for my preferred pass that it paid for itself.
Well this is more than embarassing. Not only did I provide the wrong information, I thought we were speaking of disney annual pass, not Universal, but I also posted the wrong info in a thread I apparently started months ago! So um yeah. I'm going to go hide for a while. For those reading this, yes, Universal AP certainly covers counter service, it's wonderful, I am going to go get some much needed sleep apparently
Giving you a and a like
Not many would come back and explain the mix up
It takes a strong person to post what you did
It also shows you are human and all of us do an oops in life
If it makes you feel any better, I have done the same before too
Take a nap and be sure to come back to the darkside forums
No one here will think twice of your error
We have peeps that play nice here and no one will pounce on your first post
We have seasonal passes and every restaurant I asked last September said no- no discounts for seasonal passes. They could have been wrong, but the seasonal pass does not seem to carry discounts. I think even the merchandise places said no discounts for seasonal passes, but I could be remembering incorrectly.I have the preferred annual pass and I received the 10% food discount at all the places
Lombards, Simpson, boulangerie, monster cafe, Louie’s, Finnegans, bloodies, 3 B’s, mythos, and the other cs in IOA and studios
Carts are excluded from the discounts
I know the premier and preferred allows the discount
The other lower level ap do not have the perk of park food discounts
This is what they told me :
Depending on what type of Annual Pass you wish to upgrade to, the benefits on dining locations vary. If you would like to respond to this email with what pass you are most interested in, I would be more than happy to offer you a list of benefits and dining locations that offer discounts to Annual Passholders. Additionally, as long as one (1) person in your part has an Annual Pass, they would be able offer the discount to five (5) additional Guests.
So, with 7 of you, you might get trouble at sit-down restaurants... Or they might let you.
