    Seriously Big Park Hours Update 8/29-11/2 - Daily AM EMHs added for DHS, DAK, & MK

    We arrive from the UK on 3rd September. So the jet lag is on our side! In terms of other common thoughts - morning hours will always be better as it will be a clean slate, an empty park to start with - evening hours will always have residual visitors so never feel quite the same. I’m sure...

    We had massive problems yesterday - we got 3 x FOP and 2 x Slinky - then went back a couple of hours later to do the rest. Was surprised how slow and laggy it was.

    Coronado pool - closing for 4 months refurb

    Absolutely - the only reason we went for Coronado in the beginning was due to it being around £300 less than POFQ! So to get changed to that is FAB! When do you travel?

    Other members of party using fast passes

    Thought that might be the case, was worth asking. Is there something in place that also prevents family groups with very young children, elderly relatives etc strategically using the passes allocated to non-riders so they can get additional passes for key attractions.

    Coronado pool - closing for 4 months refurb

    Ours may have been cheaper as we had already paid an upgrade cost for QSDP to DDP that could explain the cost We love POFQ too, but having just booked it for 2019 - did not want to do it two trips in a row
