Hi, kicking around an end of August trip to celebrate for my daughters 16th. We have never been to Universal, only Disney. I know if I book at a premier resort we get EP for free, but the price of the rooms are nuts! $350-500 a night! Do we need EP in August? My guess is yes. Dates would be...

Thank you all for the information! Very appreciated! :)

We will be watching the movies before we go :)

Thanks! I am going to bring one of those bands and ask for motion sickness patches from my Doc too. We went to Seaworld and my daughter drug me on MAKO and I swear, that is the craziest coaster ever!

We aren't close enough to take advantage, IMO. We are from MD and we drive. So, I don't think the extra $ would be worth it.

I love shows! And, I have no problem going off and leaving the hubby and kids to ride whatever they want. Mission Space is a Centifruge-spinning simulation ride. So, really I think it's the spinning with a screen that does it. Because I can ride a Tilt a Whirl with no problem.

I am the only one prone to motion sickness, since I have vertigo. So, for instance, I can't do Mission Space in Epcot because it will absolutely make me sick. We are HUGE thrill ride seekers, all of us. I have to be careful about rough coasters though because they can give me an instant...

It was $1272. But, it is for Volcano Bay as well

Thank you for all that! Do you put your stuff in lockers on these rides? Do I need quarters for the lockers? I will check out the menus for the two popular restaurants you mentioned above.

I haven't been since I was a teenager over 20 years ago. So I know NOTHING about Universal. Nothing about the restaurants or shows. I know they have Harry Potter Land and its popular. So tip-wise, I'd say must do's, restaurant choices that are good, shows to see, etc... Can I take water bottles...

Hi all, I just booked our families first Universal Trip. The third week of September. We will have 5 days (2 free bc of promo) w/ park to park. I booked one night at a premier hotel to take advantage of the Express pass for day of check in and check out (@ that hotel). I know HHN will be...

Yup, last time we drove straight through it was right at the 16 hour mark. We can't do that again, it was pure torture. I'd love to stop in Charleston, but to get to SC we are atleast 8-9 hours. So, that won't leave anytime to sight see and I don't want to venture too far off I-95. But, thanks...

Hello, We are traveling to The World on 8/2. Leaving from Baltimore, MD. I need suggestions on a good stopping point, I want a little more than 1/2 way. So I'm thinking South Carolina? Does anyone have recommendations? Prefer it to be a newer hotel and free breakfast. I have two kids 12 and 8...

Anyone been at the beginning of August?? I know there is no slow time anymore at Disney. Last time we went it was at the end of August, second to last week, I believe..Just curious if I should expect more craziness than what I already expect or is it do able??

Hi there. Can someone please tell me if the Express Pass includes the Harry Potter rides? Also, I know you have to stow items on certain rides. I recently read that lockers are $2. Is this for each ride that requires stowing items (so $2 every time you ride and need to stow)?? If so, how many...

So with Unlimited, you can go on over and over....my Q is- What is the difference in wait times for those with Unlimited Vs. Not having it?? I plan to do a end of August trip...I am sure they'll still have the bustle of kids out of school..

Thank you for the help! Should I book through universal for the hotel? And where to get tickets if not doing so together? Their dining plan is high, in comparison to Disney. Especially when Disney offers Free Dining. Did you do Volcano Bay? Is that worth it if you did? How many days do you think...

Yup! I've attempted to book a package more than once and get so overwhelmed. I have no clue what I have to add or not add. I wonder if their dining plan is worth it? I just feel like Disney is so much more user friendly.

Seriously..I am a WDW girl through and through, I could walk those parks and book a vacation with my eyes shut (ok, not really..) you get the point. I am having such a tough time figuring out how Universal books vacations? Do they offer packages like Disney, where you choose your hotel, tickets...
