Austin’s Notes:
This is a good deal for families that want to get a card for their children. Getting AI free is a good value. Just make sure that somebody in your party has an Annual Pass Silver or above so that you get free parking (saves $20 per visit). This card does not include any of the annual pass goodies like 10% off food and merchandise, access to special passholder events (not a big deal), or BG bucks (BG bucks is usually worth about $20 through the year).
Also, the blackout dates don’t really bother me much as those are the busiest dates of the year and I wouldn’t want to go during those dates anyway. The next step up would be the bronze pass which is $26.00 more which doesn’t include AI but does include some of the annual pass goodies (only offers half off on parking though). Also, the bronze pass gives 365 days from the date of purchase, as the Fun Card is only good through 12/31/19.
The final cost of this deal is $104.99 (base price) + $8.93 (taxes) + $8.99 (“processing fee”) = $122.91
