Bottom line is...hotel guests will show their hotel cards to access the Forbidden Journey but it's not really Express...just a special line.

Thanks for clarifying. I hope the TM just had it wrong because for our July trip I was told hotel guests had one per day and yesterday the TM denied that was true for our October trip. If not, I'm sure the lines will be minimal during the one hour early park opening for park guests. Can't wait!

I was told this morning when I booked our July trip that there is no FOTL or express access for the Forbidden Journey. No one will get any "cutting " privledges. But from what I read you don't want to miss the line. It seems like the line is a big part of the experience and not to be missed. We booked to stay on property.

Why does that NOT sound good???

[glocon]

I think there will be some magical way to make strawberry peanutbutter ice-cream taste delicioius! For sure I will try it!

If they begin doing soft openings, where is the entrance located that they would bring guests in? We at least have to check it out while we are there!

The park basically goes in one big circle. If it is open you will be led straight to the entrance because almost everyone will be going there. Don't worry, you won't miss it.

And probably they will remove the temporately wood bridge once the WWofHP opens and they might re-open the Skipper's Tours (I've forgot the real name) so people don't have to walk all the way to the HP "island".

According to wikipedia (so it may not be the most accurate, but hopefully it is):
Island Skipper Tours (1999-2002), a transportation service using one of three uniquely-themed water taxis to shuttle passengers between Port of Entry, Jurassic Park and Toon Lagoon.

I very briefly remember seeing boats go across since I was younger at the time. I used to think it was Jurassic Park.

I'm planning my trip to FL now & I definitely want to include Wizard World. I know it is still too early to really know info, but the planner in me wants to make sure I do everything right!

Thank you so much for this thread! I'm not going to be staying on-site (either Disney or Universal), so I hope to find tips that it will be stress-free.

Does anyone know if these restaraunts will be doing reservations or is it s counter service type thing? If it does, is it 180 days in advance like Disney?

Finally, (yes, I know, I will shut up after this...) is it fair to say that I can do Islands of Adventure (basically Wizard World) in one day?

I haven't been to Universal since the opening of the Simpsons ride, so I need to read the Universal threads to get up to speed.

Thank you!!!!

Are you talking about the restaurants at Universal in general or just WWoHP? I would imagine the restaurants inside WWoHP will only be counter service and the other places throughout the parks will not change. You can not make reservations that early like at Disney. Most won't go over 30 days out...it all depends on where you're thinking of going.

You could do IOA in a single day knowing you're going to be spending a lot of time in line at WWoHP. I'll be curious to see how the rest of the park will be in terms of lines.

Basically WWoHP, but I'm going to check out the rest of the place too. I thought there were going to be sit-down restaraunts at WWoHP? Ahhh...30 days out. That's good! I do miss the 90 days Disney had.

I have to see what kinds of rides I can take in WWoHP.

Thank you!!!
