We'll be there in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering the same thing. Looking forward to hearing from those who have been there in the summer.

When I go to Disney, I use EasyWDW to figure out which park to hit on which day. I can't seem to find anything similar for Universal and the other parks (seaWorld, aquatica, etc...). How do YOU figure out which park to visit on each day?

Yikes! $100/day?!? My friends had mentioned $40/day which I thought was borderline doable. $100 per day is definitely too much - especially after reading on another thread that the quality of the club level offerings has gone way down.

I booked a garden view room at PBH for this July through Cheaptickets. Now I'm regretting not booking club level when I had the chance. Prices have risen considerably for my dates. Friends told me that they upgraded to club level at check in for an extra $40/night. Is that possible? And how...

What is the phone number for the front desk at Portofino Bay Hotel?

Ended up going with Tony Hinds. He seems to get good reviews here and on Tripadvisor and the cost includes a quick stop at the supermarket. Sounds like a good deal to me!

What is the best option for airport transportation for a family of five? I am not interested in a shuttle. Do regular airport cabs accept 5 passengers or do I need to book transportation from a specific company?

sbrost13 -- so are we! First trip coming up this July. Curious to hear how long the walk is (or feels like) in the July heat.

I booked DC for Monday because we will be there Thursday - Thursday and I had the same thought at johde - go to DC in the middle of the week.

I found a site recommended on here called "The Dibb." It was pretty interesting. Very "Tour Guide Mike" like in terms of recommending certain parks on certain days. I wish there was an Easy WDW for the rest of the Orlando parks.

Not sure on the price difference, but we're going for a week and purchased the 3 park unlimited ticket. It's good at IoA, US and Wet and Wild for 14 days. It was only about $25 more than the four day ticket for us.

I think my main issue is that I'm terrified of traveling to Orlando during peak, summer vacation season. As you can all see from my sig, I'm more of an off-peak kinda girl. I want to learn as much as I can now, so we can have a smooth trip once we get there. But macraven is right - we'll have...

Someone mentioned that they sometimes prefer "cheap TS" meals to most QS meals. If that's the case, which are the recommended affordable TS restaurants?

So, I should avoid universal on Saturday. Maybe go to sea world or discovery cove that day? I was hoping to save DC for mid week. Would SeaWorld be a good choice for Saturday?

Heading down to US and staying at PBH at the end of July (Thursday to Thursday). Planning on going to IOA, U.S., Seaworld and Discovery Cove. Which day of the week would be the best (slowest) to visit each park?

Can I buy this ticket by calling Universal directly? Can I buy a 4 day ticket and upgrade to the 3 park unlimited while I'm there? I want this ticket but don't want to go through UNdercover tourist because I want to pay w my Amex and have access to that lounge.

Macraven- which coupons do you mean? HM - thanks, that's the kind of info I was looking for. We would probably end up around the same because we technically have three adults and two kids. We're also big fans of having water with meals to keep costs down. It would be nice to have a beer at...

I'm not planning on actually BUYING the dining plan, I just hope it'll give me a ballpark figure I can included in my budget.

If I purchased the full dining plan with a vacation package from universal, how much would that cost?

trying to plan a budget for our universal trip. We usually do the dining plan at Disney but have learned from these boards that it might not be the most cost effective option at universal. I plan to bring breakfast items for the room for a couple of mornings, but will likely need one snack...
