Wow, so much to think about! It really does make your head spin. I am going to hope for a discounted rate, so I guess at this point I should sit back and wait, right, or should I go ahead and book something and then adjust later? Does CBR have a pool slide? Is there anything at MK for a true...

Thank you all! I will order the 2011 Unofficial Guide from Amazon as a preorder today. I will also check out TGM's website. I have made the flight reservations and I got my park tickets in the mail yesterday (bought ahead of the expected 8/1 price increase thanks to this board!). I like to pay...

Thank you for your advice! I will do my best to reconnect her with the magic. Worst case scenario is that we go offsite for a day or so to visit WWOHP (I admit that I am addicted to Butterbeer and would hop on a plane to get some today if I could). Somehow I don't think we will though. Disney is...

I am the mother of a DD12 (going on 20), and while we know Universal like the back of our hands (have been three times this year alone and will go again in October), I have FINALLY convinced my little speed demon to give Disney another whirl. I am very excited as I can't wait to ride TOT...

Have stayed onsite at Universal many times. They have hair dryers in the rooms but they do not leave them in the bathroom like most hotels. Depends on the resort, but I believe at the RPR it was in a cloth bag on the shelf in the closet.

I flew two of my DD's friends on two different trips this year (both age 11). I called JetBlue ahead of time and they advised me to get a notarized letter from each child's parents allowing me to travel with their children on the specified dates, along with written authorization to act as their...

I am from a different state and have a PAP. On our last trip to Universal I bought three-day base tickets for my daughter. Just for the heck of it, I went to Guest Services in the Studios on 6/18 and inquired about upgrading her to a Power Pass. The guy said sure and charged me four dollars. I...

Both times we went the wandmaker chose a child in robes. It really did make it seem more magical for everyone and in both cases, the child was delighted. Just an idea. You don't have to spring for the hundred-dollar robes, just pick up cheap robes at Party City or wherever and tuck them in your...

Wow, they are charging a lot for that decorative bottle, although my daughter did make me take the pumpkin head off and keep it, lol. Like we needed a small plastic pumpkin. Butterbeer is oh so delicious though, not too sweet. Wish I had some right now.

Just got back from a weekend at the Portofino. The crowd was much better on Saturday and even better this morning. We left our hotel at about 6:45 this morning and took the shortcut through the Hard Rock parking lot (I think I have Damo to thank for that but I apologize if it was someone else)...

Discovery Cove has a new promo code for visitors who book and visit prior to June 13. Sadly, it was too late for my last trip, but it might work for one of yours. If so, let me know and I will PM the code. (I don't think we're allowed to post them here, are we?)

No not months, it has only been playing for a few weeks as far as I know. I have heard that some sort of news is coming this week.

Yes we could hear it every time we went to ride Dueling Dragons. It was VERY hard to take. I still can't believe I was there for a week in February and four days in April and I still haven't gotten a peep inside. After Ellen went in, I thought for sure they would be open and just threw the dice...

Yes do it. I have been taking my daughter alone since she was seven and we have some of our best memories from our vacations at Universal. I like to stay onsite and use a towncar service. That way when we arrive in Orlando we have a lovely person waiting for us who then takes us to Publix to...

I thought so too, but Dragon Challenge (as Dueling Dragons) has been running for a while now and we know FOTH is ready because Ellen rode it and it's just a refurb anyway. The other forums have said that the contract with WB states they must open it all at once. Unfortunately, this must be true...

Well there goes my last hope of soft openings when we get there tomorrow. I really thought they'd kick them off with Grad Bash. Oh well, we will enjoy the last few days of a nearly empty park and we'll be back later in the year. :sad2: I have to go pack and sniffle now.

I would love the code if it is still available. I'm going back to Orlando next week and would love to surprise the kids with a day at DC!

Thanks Don Pacho. It looks terrific, and it will be so hard to be there next week for the second time this year and still not be able to go in. I think it's time for me to give up hope on a sneak peek, but darn it there is that tiny piece of me that keeps remembering their promise to open it by...

A little something new: http://media.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/ Not much though.

For the soft openings in the past, anyone who was in the right place at the right time got in. I don't know why this would change for WWOHP, but there are so many conflicting stories no one can say for certain what will actually occur. By the time you go on your vacation any news on soft...
