    Touring plan for US

    Unfortunately the Express Pass is $60 a person the days we are there. There is no way I can spend another $240. :sad1: We'll just do as much as we can and same the rest for another trip.

    Touring plan for US

    I've been so focused on Harry Potter that I forgot we also need a plan for our day at US. We have one day in each park. Actually we only have part of a day at US. We will arrive around 9:30am and leave around 2:30pm. It will be me, DH, DD11 and DS10. We definitely want to do ET, MIB, Shrek...

    IOA Touring Plan ????

    I don't want to highjack this thread but I have a touring plan question too. We will be at IOA one day next week and we know it is going to be crowded. Of course we are going to start the day at WWOHP but which direction would you head afterward? At EPCOT the conventional wisdom is that if...

    Three broomsticks for dinner?

    We will be in IOA next Tuesday :banana: 4/19. We wanted to eat at Three Broomsticks for lunch (after spending the morning at WWOHP) and then at Mythos for dinner. But I just got around to making a reservation at Mythos and my choices were 11:30am, 3pm or 9pm. So I chose 11:30am for lunch. We...

    Jurassic park drop scary?!?

    Thanks fellow drop hater! I appreciate the honest feedback. I keep thinking that since the boat is so big and since you can't really see the drop beforehand I "might" be okay. The problem with Splash Mountain is you can see what you are getting yourself into! No thanks. I agree that it is...

    Jurassic park drop scary?!?

    I've been watching some youtube videos to try to come up with a touring plan. The drop on Jurassic park starts inside so it's impossible to get a good look at it. The website says it is an 85 foot drop - :scared1::scared1:. We don't do drops - don't do any of the big roller coasters, don't do...

    FJ single rider line "safe" for children

    Thanks - I'm sure you're right but I think we'll save that in case we decide to ride a second time. This way we can all see what the exit looks like. But it's good to know in case we need a plan B. :thumbsup2

    I thought Mythos is open later during summer?

    Sorry don't know about the summer. I checked for mid-April (spring break) and they had reservations up until 10pm. The park is open until 10pm that week.

    Storm force accelatron & wet rides

    We're leaving in two weeks so it's time to put some kind of touring plan together. Can someone tell me what Storm Force Accelatron is? Is it like the teacups? It's hard to tell from the picture and description on the website. Also which are the rides (at both US and IOA) where you get...

    FJ single rider line "safe" for children

    Thanks - that's exactly what I was worried about. Even though we have two adults I think I'll stick with the original plan and all ride together. Better safe than sorry.

    FJ single rider line "safe" for children

    Our plan is go all stick together but we are going to be there on a Tuesday during spring break (4/19) and we only have one day at each park so I want to know all my options. If the WWOHP is insanely busy we might use the single rider line for FJ. My kids are 9 and 11. When you get off the...

    AAA discount?

    Cooool. Thanks. Now I have to go find my AAA card. Hmm....where could that be?

    AAA discount?

    I remember seeing something about a AAA discount for food in the park. Is that right? Do we just have to show our AAA card? Does it matter if we bought our tickets through AAA? I just bought my online. Thanks. 17 days to go!

    Harry Potter- Wizarding World FAQ

    I just checked the calendar and IOA is opening at 8am on the day we will be there (April 19th). Does that mean resort people will get in at 7am? We are staying off-site so would you recommend being on line at 7:30am? I'm hoping (maybe, possibly) that since the park is opening so early it may...

    Refurbishments/Rehab dates, Check here first

    Is there a place to look on the Universal website that lists closures due to refurb? I couldn't find anything.

    Harry Potter- Wizarding World FAQ

    We are booked to stay at the Doubletree Hotel at Universal. It's supposed to be close but I'm not sure how close. We'll have a rental car but would you recommend taking a taxi from the Doubletree? Thanks.

    Downtown Disney Advice please

    We are going to be in Orlando just for a day and half to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal. It's hard to be there and not get a Mickey fix!!! Luckily we get in at 3pm on the day before our universal trip so we are going to go to DTD. I haven't been there in years. It...

    converting single park tickets to multi-park tickets

    Thanks! Okay so it makes sense to save the $80 right now and wait until we get to the park to see if we need to do more than one park a day. Just to be crystal clear - if we buy a two day single park ticket and only use one park on the first day we can still upgrade to a multi-park ticket on...

    converting single park tickets to multi-park tickets

    We are Universal newbies and we only have 1 1/2 days to do both parks. Our main interest is, of course, Harry Potter but we'd like to see what we can. If I buy tickets without park hopping it is $20 less per person (so that would save us $80). But having never been to Universal before I'm not...
