2-7th April, one day visit - express pass?

[jem16]

My sons( 21 & 19) and I are coming over from the UK for the week, staying in WDW. The boys definitely want to do IOA, not sure about US as we've done that a few times before.

However we probably will only have 1 day so should I get express passes - will it be busy?

I'm also having difficulty getting ticket prices. Every time I go to the Universal website it seems to take me onto ticket prices specially for UK visitors and they only cover 5 day passes and week long passes??? Can anyone point me in the right direction for 1 day passes? Can I get them online like an e-ticket or should I just wait till I get there?

Managed to find the online ticket prices. The 1 park/1 day seems very good especially as they are giving 4 free days with it - what's the catch?

If I buy the one park pass, can I upgrade it on the day if we want to visit the other park too?

Any help on express pass - needed or not?

I would definitely say get the express passes. My family just returned from visiting both IOA and Universal, as well as the Disney parks, and the express passes were really worth it. (We stayed offsite.) Wait times quickly reached 50+ minutes, and we cruised on by endless lines on most rides. We couldn't have done half of what we did without them. They ran $15 the first day we visited and $20 a few days later. Since we used the online special of buying a 2-day 2-park pass, get one free, I didn't feel quite so bad about forking over the extra cash. Boy was I glad I did! It was less stressful than the FAST PASS system at Disney due to no backtracking. You can walk up to any ride whenever you like and head to the front of the line.

Thanks. That helps a lot - sounds like it's worth it to cut down on waiting and getting more done.
