2 weeks to go!

[silverspark7]

We are doing a super last minute trip to US/IoA (me, DH, and DD2) in 2 weeks for 3 days. We are staying at the Loews Sapphire and I *just* realized it was not an EP hotel (wrong Loews ). We are doing the park hopper tickets (pumped to ride the Hogwarts Express!!) But now I'm wondering if we should do EP. They are crazy expensive. Should we consider it with our baby swap needs? DD will enjoy the play areas and shows, but WW and the coasters are going to be more for Mommy and Daddy.

Shortcut me here y'all - EP worth it for our short trip? And other advice for tackling the parks with DD2?

It's my first trip back in 15 years and DH/DDs first time!!

Is there anyway you could do a deluxe hotel stay for one night?
You would get check in and out day free ep for you and husband

If you can’t switch hotels for one night, you might be ok
Early May is usually decent with smaller crowds early May

You can use the child swap set up for rides which will save you long waits

If you can`t swing a night at one of the EP hotels, don't buy the EP ahead of time...…

Wait and see if you need it or not, you may find the crowds aren't too bad. If you do feel they are necessary buy them on the day.

Hope you have a wonderful trip.....

I looked but the rates are only for FL residents. I'm gonna call today to double check!

Since your DD won't be able to ride most of the rides with the longest typical wait times, I'd just plan to use the single rider lines rather than shell out for the EP (https://touringplans.com/universal-orlando/single-rider).

It's a nice time of year; we've done very well without EPs by arriving early to the parks and getting on long line rides such as Despicable Me before the lines start to build.

This year we are staying at Royal Pacific so the EPs will be a pleasent treat.

I do think EP is worth the cost. I think you should do it for at least one day. Maybe not the first day or you'll want it every day
