    Fantasmic opening weekend...

    I lucked out and I had booked a May trip before Fantasmic's return was announced. The 24th is the last day I was planning on being in the parks. So, opening night it is. Even traveling solo, I'm seriously looking at a dining package.

    I'm traveling from the U.S. in May and have the same question. Right now, the plan is to fly into London for a couple of days then taking the Eurostar directly to Disneyland Paris. When I looked, it looked like the closest Pharmacy was about 2-3 KM from the train station.

    Free Room Upgrades?

    I got my first upgrade in 20 years of ownership last December. At BWV for 8 nights in a studio I was upgraded for m standard view to pool view. Didn't ask for anything and was surprised when I went to the room after receiving the text that the room was on the "wrong" side of the hall.

    Thanks for somewhat confirming my thoughts. I'm thinking about booking a Magic Kingdom day and Hollywood Studios day late in my trip. I'm thinking those may be the toughest to get. Maybe Magic Kingdom Thursday 17 and DHS Friday 18. Then fill in the rest of the trip from there when tickets...

    How Accurate is Orlando Informer Crowd Calendar?

    You can double check by looking at the Express Pass prices on the Universal website. The more expensive the Express Pass, the greater the crowds.

    Universal Quick Service plan ?s

    Like most things at Universal, at times thing to be YMMV. For example, when I ordered a combo meal W/ Milkshake at Simpsons Fast Food Blvd. The Cashier asked if I wanted to get my drink I forgot. So, when I did get the Milkshake was part of the meal and I still got a drink. Fortunately, you...

    upgrade to annual pass

    The age of the tickets shouldn't matter. But the seasonal pass is blacked out to the USF on concert days in early December and Mardi gras. You can still go to IOA on those days. The power pass lifts those black outs. They both have black out days around Christmas and other extremely busy...

    upgrade to annual pass

    I upgraded one today I purchased about a month ago. It cost $10.60 extra to upgrade to a seasonal pass. I don't know if it makes a difference but I upgraded in the park after using it to get into the parks.

    Passholder Appreciation Quick Service Discount

    I'm trying to price it out myself. At buy one get one half price it might be a good deal. I still bring my refillable "red cup" from 2006 (I'm assuming that hasn't changed in the last couple of years). So, the drink with the meal doesn't really count much value wise(although I've heard...

    Question on 2+2 tickets

    I bought the 2+1 from UT and I'm going to upgrade to a seasonal pass in Mid September. In the past few years, they've used gate price of the ticket for upgrades. There is currently not a 2+1 offered by Universal and my ticket says 3 day ticket. So, I'm assuming I'll get credit for the 3 day...

    Tell me your little (or big) things we shouldn't miss or forget to do

    Seuss Landing was built with no straight lines to match the art style in the books. Even the palm trees are crooked. There are also nods all over the land to Dr. Seuss's "lesser" works. For example, the entire land is built around Zax Bypass there a north bound Zax and a south bound Zax...
