    Cuz we bought Military Freedom Passes, we’re going to use every penny’s worth

    Loved your report! Express does spoil you that is for sure!

    Short trip, long day: 12/1-12/3. Live-ish report

    Enjoyed reading your report. I attended Friday night of the OI event. The low crowds really spoiled me for the rest of my stay. I had express for part of the trip but you just can’t beat being able to walk around without loads of people in your way. Those low crowds and the free food do tempt me...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    Talk to me about lines for food… How bad are they for a quick bite during party hours? I know there are a limited few open. I have a reservation for Kona at 1:30 (latest I could get) and will eat a big lunch but figure I’ll still need a little something by 7 or 8. Trying to decide if I should...

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    I’ve read very recent posts about now being locked out of this option. There is an update to the mde app that has changed things. If you don’t have auto updates on, don’t update it and hope for the best.

    Wow, we must be on the same wave length! We are doing Trader Sam’s after the Boathouse! Starting in DS with a late lunch then heading to the Poly to get on the TS waitlist. Will go to Grand Floridian and have a drink at the Enchanted Rose while waiting for TS. I am also excited to try ER… love...

    Cancellation Refund Delays

    Have you all tried the number I posted earlier? They’ve fixed it at that number on the spot the multiple times Ive had to call. Again it’s 888-320-6065

    HO-HO-HO..We`ll put the RUM in Pa-Rum-Pum-Pum-Pum! 16 holiday nights at SF & RPR. A Nov/Dec 2023 Trip Report

    All this talk about the Boathouse! What a coincidence, I’m currently holding a lunch reservation for my upcoming trip. 😀 Guess I picked a good one! I‘ve only been to ds once since it became ds but this trip I’m not only hitting ds but Mvmcp as well. Been ages since I’ve been to a disney park...

    AVENTURA HOTEL INFO.......

    Strong Water IHO has the best food at Universal. Plus it has an amazing laid back atmosphere. I wouldn’t discount it for dinner. With 6 in your group, I would make a reservation. It’s easily done through the Resy app.

    2023 Universal Holiday Info

    Oh, this is wonderful news! Thank you!! I don’t think we’d even go to the concert but I know we’d really miss the USF side. I always bounce back and forth between the two parks. 😀

    HO-HO-HO..We`ll put the RUM in Pa-Rum-Pum-Pum-Pum! 16 holiday nights at SF & RPR. A Nov/Dec 2023 Trip Report

    Add another person to the list that has a trip that will overlap with yours! I haven’t been during the holiday season in probably 15 plus years! So looking forward to it and your fabulous photos sure are getting me in the mood. 😊 I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you at Strong Water. It’s my...

    2023 Universal Holiday Info

    Yes, it has always been part of standard park admissions and I doubt that would change. Unfortunately, I do believe USF park is blocked for seasonal annual pass holders which would limit me to only IOA. Just didn’t think they’d have concerts two nights of a weekend So am curious if that is how...

    City Walk Saturday Night

    I’d suggest a reservation. Citywalk can be quite busy, especially on a Saturday night! I’ve always gotten in very close to my reservation time.

    ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

    Star services delivered a gallon of distilled water to my room last May when I ran out with no charge. I’m making a Publix stop this trip so will probably buy some there just in case something has changed. If you don’t have that option, I’d call the front desk beforehand to ask.

    2023 Universal Holiday Info

    Does anyone know if Seasonal APH are blocked from the Mannheim concerts? I will be so bummed if I can’t get into the Studios for Saturday AND Sunday. It’s been ages since I’ve been during the holidays so I didn’t realize they play two days in a row like that. The dates aren’t showing blocked in...

    Universal 1st timer looking for help with park plans😊

    I’d start my 1/2 day checking into the resort, leaving bags with the bell man, getting my room key/express and then head to the parks. By the time you enter, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was close to lunchtime. With your HP fans, I’d head straight to the Studios and the leaky cauldron. It’s...

    SAPPHIRE FALLS thread........

    Sapphire is a beautiful hotel and I’m sure you’d love the kids suite BUT … Sapphire does not include express passes. Since you don’t travel often to the parks, I’d highly recommend staying at Royal Pacific, Hard Rock or Portofino to get the included express passes. You’ll give up on space in...

    Cancellation Refund Delays

    It’s a bit irritating that the main number you call is still telling people you have to wait the 15-18 business days.

    Cancellation Refund Delays

    After waiting the 18 or so business days, I was finally connected with accounting last month. After she quickly processed the refund (saw it immediately on my cc) she gave me this number to use if it happened again. (888) 320-6065. This is the accounting department. No need to wait so long with...

    Lines at Harry Potter

    You definitely need at least two days. I’d recommend three if you want to do anything on repeat. Look into staying at a deluxe resort where express is included with your stay. Deluxe resorts also have fabulous pool areas for quick afternoon breaks. Everything is so close compared to Disney! If...
