Not worth it now (although just 2 or 3 years ago it was). The last two years we have taken a late flight down on Thursday or Friday, which allows us to get into the event around midnight and knock out a bunch of houses as the crowds thin. I wouldn’t pay full price for a whole night, but when RoF...

I’m just here for the updates. Thoughts on buying single night tix now? If I buy two nights, and then there IS a RoF offering, could I combine and upgrade or can I only upgrade a single night to a multinight pass? Usually we do 3-4 nights, no express. 2023 saw a big jump in prices to where I...

What do people think the multi-night tickets will be like this year? More expensive seems to be a given, but do you think we will even have the option? Maybe a shorter length akin to a multi day regular park ticket for 2-4 nights, but not the full month or whole HHN season?

adding a car would be a huge improvement. kiddie coasters are always slow-loaders, but any little bit helps

I'm just hoping for better capacity on the coaster. My kid loved Woody, but the wait time to ride time ratio was crap.

Express should make getting on most rides quite manageable. The walkways will still be super crowded. It will be harder to do some of the atmospheric things like checking out the themed shops or doing the 'magic' windows in the Potter areas. Expect the line for ice cream to be out the door in...

Thank you. This seemed off to me. I also booked with a travel credit card because of the rental car benefits. We got a flat tire on a rental car when we were in the UK, and everything involved in that incident was covered by the credit card, so I never buy the agency's insurance. So basically...

Question for you: is your insurance a FL insurance? I went to the counter in December, and the agent would NOT let me decline basic insurance. She said there was a change to make it mandatory for all renters to use their insurance unless I had a FL policy. I told her I’d rented there in...

I don't think the ride vehicles have changed since Hagrid's opened. I do think that the ride accommodates larger people than some other coasters, especially on the motorbike seat. However, "fat friendly" definitions vary, and people carry their weight in different places, so what may work for...

I didn’t know they’d ever done a different one. Now I’m bummed I never got to see it.

Universal requires much less planning than Disney. There’s no making ADR 60 days out, no getting up to book ILL or staring at your phone for genie plus. You either are standing in a standby line (which moves faster than Disney standbys because universal does not weight it as heavily towards...

I think you're probably right about APs vs people with dated tickets. We have APs and have done all the rides and shows multiple times, so the Grinch was a priority because we can't do this meet on another trip. If I only had regular tickets, I would be prioritizing the rides. Although with the...

The throw away room doesn’t need to be thrown away. Book a 2 queen room at a premier resort, and put everyone’s name on the reservation. Because there are three adults in the room, you will be charged a per night fee (I think $50) for the third adult, but that’s way cheaper than buying express...

I dropped the kids off around 7:20ish and went to park the car. We are usually earlier, but were a bit slow that morning. My son said there were a few packed buses that pulled up just before him or he would have been closer in line. My son is faster than my 8-year-old and I, so once through the...

Update: we went at ropedrop, and were 7th in line. He started meeting at 9. We were done by 9:15. Honestly, I was prepared to wait a lot longer. The TM was giving estimates as people got into line (or chose not to), but the actual meets were way faster than expected. Our conversation with him...

It does cut down on wait times. The number of people staying in those three hotels is smaller than the number staying in the other hotels and offsite. Express Pass is not equivalent to Fast Pass/ Lightning Lane at Disney where the ratios are really really skewed to favor the FP/LL guests, but...

CT and DE have certain licenses that are valid for driving purposes only. Basically, they mean the person has taken the test proving safe operation of a motor vehicle, and can thus legally drive, register, and insure a vehicle. The idea is basically that there are people who are not legally in...

Given that CT and DE has some driver's licenses that are now invalid in FL, has anyone tried to do an accelerated check in coming from one of those states? I have a Real ID with the star on it, and have rented in FL since the restriction went into place, but I'm wondering if Alamo or Avis would...

Since you're going to be lining up around lunch time, my suggestion is to get your lunch to go, and use the wait time to eat in line. Obviously eating won't occupy you for the whole wait, but at least it will allow you to make the most of the rest of your day by not having to stop for lunch...

Is she a student by chance? I think Universal will accept a student ID from a Florida university.
