If anyone has a Universal annual pass from Costco and wants to upgrade to the CA resident annual pass (one received through email), you can. They did it for us and there was no charge.
Does anyone know how the attendance was this weekend? It really seems that USH has a big problem in its hands. If it wasn't bursting in the seams this weekend then we can say that they are in trouble. I was planning on going this summer but considering all the changes in the AP i will wait until I get a good deal. Maybe the Premium Star pass makes a comeback.
I wonder if they will do the same next month, when they announce a new CA Resident Annual Pass Plus.
I called them asking if I could and they gave me a reference number to take to guest relations to do the upgrade.
I just called to do it for another pass, they said we can just go in the park to do it. A reference number isn't needed.
My old Platinum Pass expires on Sunday, so I was wondering if there was any word about a possible new pass in August or September as well. Though I go often enough that their current Platinum Pass would actually not be a bad deal for me.
I have noticed they are advertising the heck out of Season Passes on the radio, at least. And in the commercials keep mentioning that Walking Dead is a "year round, daytime experience". I think the use of the word "daytime" is interesting, and possibly implies that the GP thought it was just a nighttime haunt? It was just a strange choice in wording.
I wonder if the park would let us upgrade from the old CA Pass to the new CA Pass also.
Question - Can I update my Costco CA Resident + pass to the newer CA resident pass that came out with cheaper dates at the park, or do I have to go to Costco for that?
Once a Costco pass is used, you can't return it, which would be the only option at Costco. They do not handle any kind of updates at their stores. You may want to call Universal to see if they will make any updates with that pass. If you do, let us know what they tell you.
I got that email as well. All these bonus days where our blackout dates don't apply really make Universal seem desperate for guests to come to the park haha.
