ATTRACTION FOCUS
Escape rooms are the newest trend for families and small groups! The concept is simple; get out of the room within a hour by solving clues and code breaking. However, all the themes make the process extra fun! Escape Company’s hardest room has to be Pandorum which puts you in outer space inside of a spaceship helping others escape before the ship blows up! Hidden Temple places you in the jungle, searching for an ancient artifact before the time runs out. Suburban Serial Killer has you and your group in a suburb trying to solve the murder mystery of who the killer in this town is. The Silent Tide room is good for up to 10 players and is pirate themed, where you are helping to break a curse!
Since we are getting into convention season, this is a great option for guests who want to do something fun after their meetings and before dinner. Escape Company is close to Black Fire, Sea Dog Brewery, and Cici’s so give your coupon referrals out along with booking their reservation for the escape room of their choice!
UNIVERSAL
Mardi Gras has officially started! Parades are held every evening inside of Universal where everyone has a chance to get many beads and concerts are held on Saturdays. This weekend is Sean Paul! Universal has new “In Market Program” tickets that will earn you MORE commission. These are the 2 Park – 1 Day Park-to-Park tickets. You will also be earning more commission on the 2 Park 2 Day Base ticket! Universal & U training dates will be Feb. 27,28 and March 1st. Invitations will be out soon within the next few weeks, but expect the schedule to be like last years where there is a morning and afternoon session each day.
WALT DISNEY WORLD
ONE DAY TICKETS: VALUE Feb. 2, Feb. 5-8. Feb. 3-4 is REGULAR. We can only sell the 2 and 3 day with park hopper free ticket until Feb. 4th THIS SUNDAY.
Epcot has their Festival of the Arts which goes until Feb. 19th. Unlike last years festival, this is something guests can enjoy every day. Enjoy artistic styled cuisine and catch concerts by local choirs and Broadway artists. Photo opportunities are set up around the park that put you in the famous paintings!
SEAWORLD & LEGOLAND
SeaWorld is hosting their Praise Wave concert series which is Christian music included with admission. Saturday (Feb. 3) Switchfoot will be performing. We will have a new “SPECIAL” 3 Visit ticket for SeaWorld. The ticket will retail for $136 – which means that the guest will get a 3rd visit for only $30 (as our 2 visit ticket is currently $106). This is a GREAT value for the guest (3 days for ONLY $45 each day!!) and a higher commission for you than selling the BOGO ticket or the one day. Remember – this ticket is the same as the current 3 Park ticket – so if they guest uses the first visit now, they have 6 months to use the rest of the visits! This offer is currently not online – but it will be starting on Monday.
Also, the current 2 Park Ticket will now be selling for $106 which basically gives the guest a FREE PARK with the purchase of 1 Park. It will also be available online beginning on Monday. REMEMBER – when the guest buys with you – they don’t pay a transaction fee, and the don’t have to buy at least one day in advance to get the tickets, as they do when they buy online! Use this as your way to beat that online deal.
LEGOLAND is closed on Wednesdays so please check the calendars on their website before selling tickets. This is the last weekend for Legoland starts Ninjago weekends! The new 4D film opens so guests can enjoy seeing that as well as meeting Ninjago rare characters in the park. Fun food options around the park including candy sushi. Please check your When to Work messages regarding LEGOLAND training. We would like everyone to go to brush up on your LEGOLAND knowledge and you get 4 complimentary tickets! We are having a lot of problems with Legoland and Merlin BOGO’s being entered in the POS wrong and printed incorrectly. If you are unsure on how to do this, please reach out to your Team Lead or Manager.
