Buy one day, get a year? What is that all about?

[Humpbacks1962]

I noticed that on AOL, going to keyword "Disney" a Universal offer popped up making reference to buying a day, getting a year's worth of admission. I selected it and while it was loading, opened up another window. Freaking AOL opened teh new window right in the same spot and never allowed me to go back to that offer. Can anyone figure out what that is all about?

You end up in the same ticket purchase site but if you try to find it from there, you can't. It seems to be a pop up offer.

As far as I know that offer is for Busch Gardens in Tampa and Sea World in Orlando. It is like a season pass, you get admission for the year but no discounts, or free parking, and blackout dates apply-
Still a great value, especially for a park like seaworld where an annual pass seems like overkill

Looks like you can only access it if you click on the random pop up ad, coming up sporadically. Took me a while to get the offer up again.

Didn't help us for our trip in August but maybe it can help someone else...

Of course it's for Universal HOLLYWOOD...

You can buy a similar pass with similar restrictions for Universal Orlando for $99 a person. It's called the Power Pass.
