While waiting in line, we noticed that the price for a day pass increased from $55 to $77. Then we noticed that the annual pass only costs $87. We decided right away that the annual pass is the more cost effective one. My sister also decided that it's best to buy the all-you-can-eat pass for $25. Right before we entered the gates, a park staff approached us and asked us questions like, "Where are you guys from?", "Is it just the four of you?" He then explained that they were doing a 15 minute survey for the park and if we participate, we get a VIP pass for four that we can use in all the attractions. My sister was a bit apprehensive at first. She was ready to move on and line up for the Studio Tour so she told the guy we're not interested. My best friend and I probed some more and the staff explained that he will just be asking about the park's characters and see how much people know them. Upon hearing this, my nephew got too excited and wanted to be the one to participate. The staff explained that he needed an adult participant this time so I volunteered instead.
The survey took about 15 minutes. The staff handed me about 50 pictures of characters. I had to sort them according to "Know/Have heard of/Have Seen" and "Don't know/Have not heard of/Have not seen" categories. Then he arranged the pile of characters I know, about 40, and asked me to identify them and rate them as to how interested I am to see them. Of course my highest ranked were the Harry Potter characters. Ha ha. I probably got 35 out of 40 correct answers. There were 5 characters that I thought I knew but didn't.
After the survey, the staff gave me the VIP pass that we can use for that day. We were so happy! It was a totally different experience when you don't have to wait in line anymore! We were able to ride in all the attractions plus a second go in Jurassic Park. Lesson of the story: give surveys a chance!:-)
