WALT DISNEY WORLD
Disney is in PEAK SEASON March 25 – April 18. April 19 they will drop back to Regular. Flower and Garden over at Epcot is going on until May 29. Make sure to get your button from the Disney reps! The Garden Rocks! Series at the American Pavilion will showcase Night Ranger (“Sister Christian”) March 24-27 and Little River Band (“Reminiscing”) March 31-4/3. Disney reps have been by our locations to invite us to the Pandora hospitality preview. May 25th from 7-1030pm, they will be serving food and the park will be open exclusively to those in the hospitality field. Be sure to RSVP in order to snag a spot. We are not allowed to bring guests to this event (including babies and children).
Disney is running a promotion with AGS to sell 242 Magic Your Way tickets with the Park Hopper Plus option included during the incentive period to qualify. If we hit that number, the top 50 sellers will receive a prize pack that includes Two (2) One Day Water Park tickets and Two (2) Quick & Casual Lunch Certificates! It is only $15 to upgrade the park hopper ticket which is a great deal since the water parks cost $67 to get in. With the PLUS option, the guest gets an EQUAL number of visits to the extra parks (Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, DisneyQuest, Oak Trail Golf Course, Wide World of Sports, Winter/Summerland Mini-Golf, and Fantasia Gardens Mini-Golf) as they do the MAJOR parks (with the exception of the One Day Hopper Plus which gets TWO visits). So if they purchase a 3 Day Hopper Plus ticket, the get 3 visits to the extras – 4 Day gets 4 Visits, etc.
UNIVERSAL
Universal is in PEAK SEASON March 25 – April 18. Universal will be increasing their prices effective 3/28 and will be changing the name of the Peak ticket to “Anytime”.

Don’t forget to mention Park to Park and Blue Man Group to boost your sales. Regular season tickets have been eliminated. Universal REMAINS IN VALUE SEASON THROUGH MARCH 24TH.
