I've been wondering about that, as I haven't seen any gate prices listed for the promo tickets. Anyway, I stopped at two different guest services locations today (Cabana Bay and USF) and they told me the same thing - the upgrade charge for a 3-park "promo" ticket to a 3-park Seasonal Pass would...

That does make sense. Still, I'm curious as to whether they give you the gate price or the online price - although they know you bought a promo ticket, I don't see how they could know whether you bought it online or at the gate.

The general consensus (and what I've been told from Universal) is that you'll pay the difference between the gate price of the ticket you have and the gate price of the ticket/ AP you want. Some people have said that if you bought your tickets from Universal directly, they'll only credit you for...

When we visited UO for the first time a few years ago, we made a careful plan to tour the parks in an organized manner, saving the Harry Potter lands until their proper place on our guide. We rode the first ride or two according to our plan, and patted ourselves on the back for being so...

Agreed. I don't think I heard any of the bands named in the first post, it was mostly new pop I've never heard of.

I didn't stay there, but walking around & visiting the pool, it didn't seem any louder than any other resort (though you can hear the music underwater, which was interesting). OTOH, they weren't even playing hard rock either.

Personally, I found the Early Entry to be more useful than Express Passes. I'd stay on site for a whole trip to get early entry instead of two days of Express Passes. Of course, if you book some packages or through some travel agents you can get Early Entry anyway, even offsite.

The onll thing I can say for sure is that you'll pay the difference between the gate price of the ticket you have and the gate price of the tickets you want. Unfortunately, the prices listed on the official UO site aren't the gate prices, and they don't include tax. This is the only site I've...

As the previous poster said, you might want to look at the hotel map & see if there's a particular part of the resort that looks good to you. You can call the hotel directly or email your requests to customerservice@cabanabayorlando.com.

We've done both many times, & I think it takes about the same amount of time. There's usually hardly any wait (if at all) at the "secret entrance" that macraven pointed out. For us, it depends on whether we feel like taking a walk, or whether our feet are really tired...

Aside from Bread Box (which I also liked), there are some other cheap options at the "Top of the Walk" food court at CityWalk. They have a Burger King Whopper Bar and a Panda Express, which are basic food court stuff but cheap, and I did like Moe's Southwest Grill, which isn't anywhere near...

Thank you, that's what I thought. I was hoping that room charging would change things, since I wouldn't actually be paying my bill until I had the AP,

We're staying on site & planning on activating room charging. We'll probably have regular park tickets, but upgrade them to APs once we arrive - actually, about halfway through our trip to avoid a blackout date. If we settle our hotel bill when we check out, will we only get food/merchandise...

There are photos of this "voucher" floating around the internet. It's not 10% off everything anymore (though it doesn't hurt to ask). The voucher gets you a coupon book good only for very specific things (i.e. a free drink at one restaurant, a free appetizer at another).

I'm very sensitive to motion sickness. I find that with the behind-the-ear patch, I can ride 90% of the rides at Universal. Rip Ride Rocket was doable, but right at my limit. Dramamine Less Drowsy (aka Bonine/ Benadryl) also work, but might make him drowsy. If you don't want to go that route, I...

This is definitely true. DO NOT believe the ads on UO's website that say "Add Volcano Bay for just $55" on every page. You pay the gate price difference when upgrading to Volcano Bay, whether ahead of time (choosing a 3 park over a 2 park pass) or upgrading at the gate. Sometimes it's $55, but...

I called UO & asked about the Explorer Tickets. They told me, in no uncertain terms, that Explorer Tickets are for international guests only. There's probably a good chance that nobody will notice or care, but it's not a chance I want to take.

I've been watching rates for early February on Universal's site for over a month. A few weeks ago, standard view rooms were about $120 per night at CBBR and Aventura; family suites at CBBR were about $154. One Sunday night 2-3 weeks ago at about 11:00 pm all the standard rooms at CBBR & Aventura...

We're going to be at CBBR on dates that overlap yours, & did the same thing (bundled airfare with resort, tickets through UT). I have been watching rates for a month or so, and all the standard rooms at CBBR & Aventura disappeared everywhere at the exact same time. I'm assuming there's going to...

I'm very prone to motion sickness - the rides that bother the OP bother me too. The last time we went to Universal I got a prescription for the patch, and it was the BEST thing ever! No motion sickness, no drowsiness or other side effects (at least until I was done). Super easy to use, I forgot...
