I have a friend visiting her son over Thanksgiving and would like to spend one day at Universal. He is in the military (recently returned from Iraq, safe and sound) and she was wondering if they have any special ticket deals similar to WDW. Thanks!

Which Universal, Hollywood or Orlando?

Oops, I forget that piece of critical information. They will be in Orlando. They plan on going to WDW already, but wanted to add Universal Orlando, too.

Here's the details for Universal Orlando's military salute...

Members of the military will be given a complementary Universal Bonus Pass -- good for five days unlimited admission to Universal Studios Florida® and Universal’s Islands of Adventure® and select Universal CityWalk® clubs. In addition, up to five family members and friends of each member of the military will be able to purchase a five-day Bonus Pass for $50.00 + tax each. Tickets available ONLY at Universal Orlando® Resort theme park front gates.

*One complimentary Universal Bonus Pass for: active duty US military, active member of US Coast Guard and active National Guardsmen and Reservists. Must show active ID upon purchase and members of the National Guard and Reservists must show proper ID along with duty papers indicating they are currently active or had been activated sometime in 2003. A recent government pay stub will also be accepted along with their valid National Guard or Reserve ID if they do not have duty papers or orders available to them. All tickets in this program, including additional friends and family Bonus Tickets purchased, must be initially used on day of issue and expire within five consecutive calendar days beginning on the day of issue. Ticket expires on December 19th, so 1st usage must be no later than December 15th. Not valid for separately ticketed special events such as Rock The Universe and Halloween Horror Nights. Visiting friends and relatives must be accompanied by the service person to receive discount(s) or their spouse may show photo ID and other proper ID (such as Dependant ID) to receive up to five discounted tickets at $50.00 + tax each. Dates subject to change without notice.

:) Thanks!!! You have made a military mom very happy!! The past year has been very stressful for her and she is so happy to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with her son. With the extra day trips to all the fun places, it makes it even more memorable!!

You're welcome, hope they have a great time.
