Just thought I would try my luck asking here. Tried to call Universal Orlando today but waited forever and couldn’t get a person on the phone.
We are traveling in May with our school’s marching band to Universal Studios. 3 day park-to-park plus seeing BMG. We booked with a tour company (contract - you know the deal if you’ve ever done one of these band trips). We are staying OFF property. So....we don’t have Express passes! . I called the tour company a few months ago and they told us they couldn’t add an Express pass as an additional offer through them at this time. So is it possible to add this on when we arrive at the park?
But here is some additional logic that I am trying to reason out before I pay $100ish extra per person in our party of five...per day for Express passes! That is an additional cost option that other families going may not be willing to pay. My kids will want to ride with their friends. If their friends don’t have express passes and my kids do ...then what’s the point if they are not going to use them since they will probably stand in the regular lines with their friends that don’t have express passes??
We just went on our first Universal Orlando trip this past May and stayed at Hard Rock so we were spoiled with the unlimited express pass! So maybe since we just went and know what our favorite rides are, maybe we can just live without express passes this time and ride only our favorites ...not feeling like we have to spend time riding every single ride. Well have 3 full days anyway.
Just wanted to check here and see if anyone knows of the express passes option can be added in to your company tickets when we arrive? And also a “what would you do”?
