I apologize if the information is available for the questions below. I did search but could not find specific answers or the information was quite old.
My family has been to Disney 9 times but now that my boys are teens they would like to go to Universal instead. Normally we go the last week of August but we did not go this year so we were not able to take advantage of free dining so it seems next year should be the year we go to the dark side. Any information on the questions below would be greatly appreciated.
Park/Dining Questions:
1. My kids are 15 and 13 and would like to stay at the parks later than when we leave. Is there any issues with kids this age being alone in the park?
2. Can I purchase two quick service meals for one day? I was thinking by buying two QS it would be similar to Disney's QS.
3. If I can buy two QS meals for one day is there anywhere to use one of the drinks and snacks as a small breakfast meal?
4. When using the regular dining plan is there a lot of menu choices that are not included? Do you feel like a second class citizen?
Resort/Travel Questions:
1. Do the resorts offer refillable mug purchases like Disney? If not, do you have suggestions on where we can buy cases of bottled water etc?
2. We are planning on staying in a Cabana Bay suite, but would it be better to stay at one of the other on-site hotels to get the express pass the last week of August?
3. What is the best way to get from the airport to the hotel? Based on the Universal prices it will be approx. $140 for r/t transport in a shuttle. Is there a better solution (even if it costs a bit more) to get to the hotel without waiting for a shuttle, such as a cab?
4. What is the cost to use the pool table at Cabana Bay?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
