    Can I have a comparison to Orlando vs Los Angeles Harry Potter land ?

    I went to Hollywood summer of 2016 and USF this past August. At that time, Hollywood had 3d glasses on Forbidden Journey. Hollywood isn't that great (TBH) and it is a much more immersive experience in Florida.

    Kong Ride Question

    Very bouncy.. but not so bouncy you have to put things in lockers. The Kong Ride in Hollywood is mostly screen, but Orlando's is more in depth with the Jeep effects. The vehicle does tend to move but not as severe as say Spiderman or Transformers

    Is "Race through New York with Jimmy Fallon" a must do?

    I really liked it. The preshow area was very interesting and very entertaining . As for the actual “ride” if you are not just familiar with the Jimmy Fallon show some of it will be lost on you. To be honest some of the prehsow area might be weird (aka Hashtag the panda ) if you aren’t...

    It wasn't that much more expensive - maybe an extra few dollars - but it sure was convenient for me . We got there as the the Hertz counter was still open but valet offered to return either way

    Help me with a list of benefits for onsite hotels:)

    It was Hertz. We rented from the airport , used it for a few days and then returned it to a different location (Royal Pacific but you could choose Hard Rock or Portofino as well) as far as I know it is Hertz only . No option for any of the other Universal on site hotels .

    Rides for seniors

    Was just there last week and I saw a party with a wheelchair in Gringotts. There is a special elevator to get you to the loading platform instead of steps. (similar in style to Mummy) Forbidden Journey does have the moving walkway so that may prove difficult but I have seen wheelchair...

    Don't know. I haven't been in a few years to UO. The last time I stayed onsite the room key was used for express pass.

    Steam and Sauna room /gym at Royal Pacific

    There were showers in the ladies room (right near the older style steam room) and en route to the whirlpool. It may have looked like the changing area but they were there. I don't know about the men's side though.

    Transportation advice

    Nothing to worry about in an Uber or Lyft . There are just the same unknown in taxis -and taxi drivers usually do 12 hour shifts ! It's truly a non issue and I do like that I have the Uber drivers license plate make model of car , the picture and can track where I am going. No surprise fees or...

    How Crazy Busy is the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium Likely to Be?

    RPR Club Level 8/27-8/31 Adults only trip

    I thought pool hopping was allowed but not At Sapphire falls- they had room key pool entry doors and our RPR keys did not work. There were guards at both hard rock and Portofino. At RPR they may not have had a guard at gate but to get a towel they asked either for name and room number or to show...
