Heading to Universal for first time next week with wife and kids. I have nothing booked (other than flight) at this point. Obviously waiting till last minute.
Dilemma is, should I bite the bullet and book a deluxe for about $350 per nite - or take the cheapo route and get a nice 4 star, such as Crowne Plaza Universal for about $100 (using hotwire) and save a few hundred dollars.
Can only stay at Universal for 3 days/2 nites.
I understand we'd get express passes with a deluxe at Univ. However, we don't feel the pressue of racing thru the parks to get it all done. Parents would only be going on a few of the rides. Express passes would mainly be for the kids.
I guess the question is, is it "worth it" to spend $250 per nite extra at a universal deluxe vs a nearby 4 star?
