Last year I purchased a ediscount package for my granddaughter and this year we did not receive notification of the discount package. I have been in Fl for the winter and did not know if somehow it got lost in the mail. This package was a summer pass with ID plus 13 tickets for a discounted price. Is there any way that I can still purchase this package. Looking forward to hearing from you.
