My Universal Photo Packages

[autismmom1]

You should be able to get the Gringotts photo and exit before the ride.

I don't know about meeting the Minions, someone else should know though. The ride is a theater with seats that move along with the 3D movie on the screen. Or there is a row of motionless seats available.

Yes, you can get a minions photo if you go through the gift shop. But there IS a motion-free seat in that theater as well!

My daughter and I both started getting nauseous on all he simulator rides at Universal so we started doing ALL of the rides in the "stationary" rows of the simulator rides. You get to enjoy the story without experiencing the motion. I highly recommend it if this affects you.

On a separate note, the photo package is GREAT....IF you get it on sale. I can't imagine it worth the money if you buy it at full price. There are just not enough photographers around the parks to make it worth the money. See my threads that detail what we bought and what we got. I like to buy ride photos, so from that standpoint, it was worth it - I would have spent more buying them flat out - but the rest of the "opportunities" for photos was lacking.

Has anyone heard about an upcoming sale?

Fingers crossed for something before go in December. Plan on "upgrading" to Seasonal AP, so hoping for something that gets us unlimited pictures for a year. Anyone know if they offer a package for APs or if pictures might be included for APs like at Disney?

It’s not included for AP Holders as a freebie

 

[skylock]

Not included like disney. If you see a sale, jump on it.

I bought one last sale, but I let someone else use it thinking another sale would come along before I go in Nov.

Now I am getting nervous it is not happening.

I was hoping for one before our trip in November as well!

Hoping for a black Friday sale. The dilemma I keep running in to is that we're going for 5 days and they don't have packages that length that are showing for me.

One special for Mardi gras was 5 days (consecutive days) for $79.99. So they may well do it again. It included 3 prints at the time.

That's great to hear! I just don't wanna piece together different ones. Is it unlimited downloads?

 

[CAPSLOCK]

Yes. As far as I know, all their plans include unlimited downloads.

 

[prink022]

Yes. As far as I know, all their plans include unlimited downloads.

Appreciate your help and information!

I literally check the site every day waiting for a special. I have a few months, but hoping it comes before Christmas shopping time.

Same here! When are you going?

Same here! When are you going?

Early May, but thinking about moving it up to April. Want to go before the summer rush but after Spring Break. Quick trip in the spring and then hoping to go back in the fall when the new HP ride is open.

I think there WILL be a Black Friday sale. Keep checking. It's usually not just a one day thing - I found it to be offered for weeks. Good luck everybody! It makes the package worth it!

and will it just be posted on their site, so I should login and check, right? Or do they mention it in an email at all? This would be a great opportunity for our trip in January
