Well, we decided to cut universal out of this Orlando trip. The cost of Royal Pacific, park tickets, and transportation from airport to uni to Disney is over 50% of the cost of our tree clean up. Since we took the kids to 4 days at uni 18 months ago, they were very understanding and didn’t bat...

That would defeat me trying to save money. Purchasing EP for a family of 4 vs staying at RPR is a lot more money.

It’s showing the highest waits for gringotts, FJ, Kong, and DM to be 33 min.

I’m attaching screen shots of the touring plans estimates line times for my two park days in October. I want to know how accurate they look for the time of year. Our only other Uni trio was over Xmas week 2016 so I knew EP was a must and we stayed at RPR. On Tuesday, we lost a couple of trees...

How soon can I expect October APH rates to be released? I’ve never booked with AP before and my main question is whether not it’s advised to book a non APH rate room and then rebook once rates are released to avoid not getting a room?

So, I think I’m going to try for my 60+1 day to get the FOP fastpass with a plan b of swapping it to my 60+3 day. I’d rather not have to run to FOP at rope drop on my 60+1 day since it’s projected to have 8am EMH and I have no desire to get to the park at 6:30/6:45.

Have any of you had any luck requesting a specific room? I had what I would consider a perfect studio at SSR 9/17. I’m staying there again this October and put in a request for the same studio.

That gives me hope since my first park day is 60+1 and we are a party of 4!

Why is it that waiting for the park to open for an hour and then in a queue for 45 min doesn’t sound bad, but waltzing into the park and then waiting 1:45 sounds like a fate worse than death? Lol

I’m hoping that since it’s an EMH day, I can rope drop with a less than 45min wait if all else fails

Thanks, I’ll have to come back to this in August!

I keep going over our TP for our 6 Park days and every way that I do it, it keeps making the most sense to go to AK on our first park day (morning after we transfer to SSR from Universal). How much success have you guys had snagging FOP FP at 60 day mark when it’s at the beginning vs end of your...

I’m going to add 2 nights at an on-site Universal hotel to our October Disney vacation. Do the Universal hotel rates fluctuate like other hotels or are they at a set rate based on season like Disney on-site hotels? Thanks!

My bestie just booked me on her points at SSR for 10/20-26 and will add one more night once the 7 month mark hits since she will need to purchase 11 more points to complete the trip. She had 81 points to let me use at $10/pt and the Disney charges $17/pp with tax. So, all told, 7 nights at SSR...

My bad, I did know about 4 pm and not 3 pm

Hi all, I'm headed to the world this Wednesday for a short adult only trip with DH and 3 other couples. As it stands this is our plan: Wednesday: flight arrives around 6:30pm, so just plan on checking into resort (SSR) and heading to DS for food/drinks/shopping. Thursday: lateish (10-11am)...

Make sure you try to get the BOGO deal Black Friday weekend!

I just wanted to say to anyone who loves penguins like my boys do, the penguin encounter lived up to all of our expectations!

Do the parks have pressed penny machines?

I need the low down on humidity for my wavy/curly and very frizz prone hair in December. I'll be in Orlando 12/25-12/31 and with the temps being around 80 daily, will the typically Florida humidity follow? It will effect how I pack, flat iron vs diffuser, straightening balm vs, curling cream...
