I'm trying to decide which pass to get, but I'm a little unclear about the Early Entry for these two. When does Universal release their schedule for Early Entry? It looks like they only do it for the current month. I'd like to know if the dates I'm traveling (March 1-3) will be blacked out from Early Entry.
Other than that perk, I don't think there is any reason to go with Premier, other than maybe the Express after 4 pm. Is it even useful that late in the day most days?
I'm on the fence about the water park. I know with Disney you can upgrade and add the water parks at any time. Is the same true for Universal? I won't be doing Volcano Bay on this trip, so if I can add it later, that would be best.
Last question, and this one is a little weird. I was thinking of buying the AP so I could then purchase tickets for my 5 friends going with me for %15 off. However, my travel agency claims that if I purchase from them, their tickets include early entry even though we won't be on property. They said it's a perk Universal gives to their touring agency. I've never heard of this, is this true? It's the main reason I want to make sure my AP is not blocked out so we can all get in. But if they aren't right, then I would just buy the tickets on my own for the discount.
