    Undercover Tourist and Managing MaxPass

    If I purchase our tickets through Undercover Tourist, I'll save $22.58 pp (3-day park hoppers). Are there any downsides to this besides that I'll have to add MaxPass once we're in the parks vs. when I purchase the tickets? How big of a pain is that? We're only planning to get MaxPass on days 2...

    Which Dining Package? Fantasmic! or Frozen?

    I called and talked to a CM, and she said that they don't always have the dining packages available at 60 days out. So we'll just have to keep checking back each day. It sounds like they only add new stuff at the beginning of the day, so at least we only have to check once a day.

    Will Grizzly River Run be open by April?

    I saw that Grizzly River Run is closed for refurbishment until "spring 2019". Is this something they do every year during the winter or something bigger? Just wondering if it's likely to be open by the first week in April when we're there. It's one of the reasons we're staying in the Grand...

    Which Dining Package? Fantasmic! or Frozen?

    Fantasmic! is is. Glad I asked. Sounds like it's a no-brainer!

    Which Dining Package? Fantasmic! or Frozen?

    We're going in early April when Fantasmic! will be back up. I'm torn between whether to do the Fantasmic! dining package or the Frozen dining package? What would you do and why? (We're Mom, Dad, and two teen girls.) And if you think we should splurge for both, you can say that too. ;)

    What Have I Got Myself into? (Volcano Bay Opening Weekend)

    I'm anxious to hear tomorrow if things have changed (hopefully improved) since you were at VB on Friday. What are waits like with Express Pass? Are some of the rides still shutting down regularly or if they're getting more reliable now? Was the process getting your EPs & loungers a little...

    Volcano Bay - Cabana Rental **Here Now**

    What were the waits like with express pass? Do you think it's worth going right now if you have express pass or would it still be really frustrating because of the ride breakdowns?

    Volcano bay express pass

    I was wondering the same thing. It seems like there've been a lot of issues with tapu tapu and wait times. I'm hoping that having express pass will mean that we can just ride what we want to at our leisure and not even have to worry about tapu tapu at all. (I'm sure that they'll eventually get...

    Volcano Bay - Cabana Rental **Here Now**

    You can't reserve a specific cabana ahead of time can you? You just reserve an area, right? Did you just reserve "wave village" and they took you to 20D when you arrived?

    PROMO OVER, SORRY FOLKS!!! New Summer Special photo package available!!

    Does anyone know if photos at Volcano Bay included with this package? I don't know if there are photos on any of the rides there, but I saw that they have spots where you can take "selfies" and put them on your tapu-tapu...

    Vivo Italian Kitchen or Mama Della's Ristorante

    Now I want to eat at both! You can never have too much Italian... Can you hear the opera singers in Mama Dellas? Don't they sing outside? Or maybe you just meant the overall atmosphere at the resort eating Italian food and listening to opera singers...

    PROMO OVER, SORRY FOLKS!!! New Summer Special photo package available!!

    The link doesn't take you to the official Universal Orlando website. Is this for sure a legitimate site? I hope so! We weren't going to book a photo package, but we'd do this one!

    Converting UT E-tickets to actual tickets

    I'm getting ready to order tickets through Undercover Tourist. I have to choose to have tickets mailed or to get print-at-home E-tickets. It seems like I read that you can have your printed e-tickets converted to actual tickets. Where can you do that? We are staying at PBH. Can they do it there?

    Walking Path or Water Taxi from Portofino?

    We will be staying at PBH and will try to hit Early Entry in the mornings. We're all in good shape and fast walkers. I'm assuming walking will be our fastest way there unless a water taxi happens to be loading just as we're leaving the property. Is that right? Does the walking path go by the...

    Vivo Italian Kitchen or Mama Della's Ristorante

    Our family wants to eat an Italian meal during our stay at Universal. We'll be staying at PBH, so Mama Della's will be right there, but we'll also be going back and forth to the parks/Citywalk all the time, so Vivo Italian Kitchen would be convenient also. I've looked at the menus, and they both...

    Volcano Bay or Clearwater Beach

    Thanks everyone who weighed in on this. We'll actually save money by staying at PBH the whole time versus doing a split stay in Clearwater Beach. The hotels are similarly priced, and we won't have to rent a car if we don't stay two nights in Clearwater (a savings of about $250 when we factor in...

    Volcano Bay or Clearwater Beach

    When I made our plans for the beginning of June, I didn't realize that Volcano Bay was going to be such a big deal and an all-day park like the other two. I booked a hotel in Clearwater Beach for the first two nights of our trip (2 1/2 days) and then booked PBH for the remainder of the trip (2...
