Hi! I’m new to the boards and mostly new to universal. I have been once, about 18 years ago, so with all the changes and updates it’s pretty much all new. I’m going at the end of March with a friend who has an annual pass, and am planning to return with her at least one more time within the next year, so the pass makes the most sense for me as well. I searched for most of these answers and found some helpful threads but if anyone can answer the following for me I’d greatly appreciate it!
1. I’m considering doing the flex pay option, but wasn’t sure if it was also an option to buy one of the other multi day park to park tickets now, and then upgrade to the pass at the parks...using the cost of the existing pass as the down payment and then pay off the rest with flex pay? Or are you only able to upgrade by paying the full remaining balance on the cost of the new pass?
2. If I order regular tickets or the passes online now, will they mail them to me? Or will I be printing them out?
3. Does anyone know if AAA offers discounts on annual passes? I tried looking on their website but you have to be a logged in member to do so, and I’m contemplating joining in a group deal with my mom dad and sister but haven’t yet.
4. I’m 5’6 and very proportional, but I’m larger than average. Im also an athlete so listing my weight won’t help as I have more muscle than fat in my legs and thighs, and I know the ride limitations are more from body shape than weight. I have a small chest so no worries there with the harnesses, but I’m worried that my thighs and calf’s are going to prevent me from riding a lot of things. I wear size XL tops, and 16-18 bottoms, but there’s nothing to “squish” to make myself fit in the rides better. Can anyone with similar shape/build/size to me comment on what rides they were able to do successfully and what rides they could not ride? Everyone else I’m going with (my friend and her friends) don’t have to worry about fitting on anything and id honestly rather just avoid a ride than find out (even in the test seat) that I won’t fit.
Thanks!!
