It's worse than the Birthday deal. Everyone else in your party is stuck buying tickets still, and you are not even guaranteed it like with the birthday ones. Plus, how could you possibly spend 2 days at Uni, much less 7?

I can give to a friend in Florida the extra ticket and hope to come visit and get a free ECV from Medicare. I could spend a week there. I walk slow.

Call me a traitor :o: , but I won a ticket, yay!

On the flip side, I registered nearly 8 hours after the ad aired (during the Super Bowl, no less), so that says quite a bit about how popular it was.

Er....now what can I do for seven days at Universal.....no seriously, I have no clue. I'm not a thrill ride fan, so most of their roller coasters are out of the question...

Um, I'm happy to take it off your hands! (Seriously, PM me if interested...)
I enjoy thrill rides. As for getting one myself, I personally didn't bother as I felt the Universal site may be overloaded with others kicking and biting for one.

I really don't mind being a "Traitor". I haven't been to either park in ages and it would be fun to go again.

Hey congrats.

Umm, If you don't want to use it. Why don't you give it away to someone who would? maybe a CM from the WDW area?

OR...have a contest, and the CM that makes your most magical day at WDW get the ticket(s)


hehehehehehhe

Traitor? You're no traitor. I'm a Universal AP holder personally.

Seven days at Universal? No way can I see spending seven days in a row there, especially if you aren't a thrill person.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I would....but it's like the birthday ticket, I have to show ID to get it, and it's tied to my name. Tis a shame that 5 or 6 days of it will have to go to waste, though :( .

It's not that I don't want to use it (my planned visit to DHS, and possibly DAK, has just flown out the window), but I honestly have no idea what are the best rides to go on and whatnot.

I haven't been to USH (or at least the Theme Park) in years, and the last time I went (Age 7), I spent so much time being horrified of everything that I really didn't pay that much attention to any of it :o: .

EDIT: SG Moment. I just realised USO has a website *bangs head*.

What is there to do at Universal....?

Glendais honey...what do you want to know? There's only three coasters there. YOU HAVE TO SEE SPIDERMAN. When are you coming again? The themeing at IOA is amazing.

Feel free to ask...I kinda know the place sideways...and Kurtis? No ticket for you!


I'm not a tourist cause I work there...
