American Express lounge

[cindysteve]

Can anyone tell me what is available in the American Express lounge? They say light snacks and beverages.. Anyone been there and have the specifics?

I am also very curious. Has anyone used the lounge?

Water, pretzels, and Sun Chips when I went in.

And a lot of people from India.

It is a very small room, I wish they would move to a bigger location with more seating and more bathrooms. Right now it is nothing to write home about. Sine they are partnered up with AMEX I would think it would get better.

Blah, that is disappointing. Thanks for the update though.

I think we will try it, if we are very hot and in need of water. Maybe cooling off will worth it.

I am an Iowa girl too

It is nothing. Some cheap chips, a grayish room, and that's about it. You are better off going to the onsite hotel lounges if your tired.

That's disapointing... anyone know about the special parade viewing area for Amex people?

I think we are in the minority here. But my family and I thought it was a great little break from the heat. We had eaten a large breakfast at the hotel and were not extremely hungry. We stopped in around 3pm and we had chips, granola bars and water. Perfect to hold us over till dinner. We hung about for about 45 minutes. I agree the room is small.

But that requires walking all the way back, at least to the boats.


When we upgraded DH and DS to APs in September, my receipt shows that we have access to the lounge until something like April. I carry that receipt with my APs so I don't forget it!

Where is the AMEX lounge located?

Where is the AMEX lounge located?

The Amex lounge is located by the Monsters Cafe at Universal Studios. Also, from what I understand this lounge is only open through May? Offer is available through May 15, 2012.

As for the AmEx parade viewing area, that is in front of the Terminator attraction (arrive 15 minutes before)

If you want to meet a real AmEx balloon handler then go between Twister and the Universal Musical Plaza about an hour and a half before the parade!

[andyman8]

who can use the amex lounge?

Anyone who purchased a multi-day and/or one with park-to-park access. Now, you must purchase the ticket with ANY AmEx card. Just ask for a receipt for your tickets and you can enter the lounge.

We upgraded two tickets to APs while there and used the amex, and got an addendum to the receipt that states:

Present this original receipt plus your American Express card to gain exclusive entrance to the American Express lounge located.....

Party size will be determined based on quantity of multi-park ticket or annual pass purchases note on purchase receipt (limited to 6 people per card).

....
Offer ends 05/15/12

So upgrading works, too!

I have an AMEX card and wasn't aware of this. We're going in April, so I'm glad I saw this thread. Now to remember to purchase our tickets with the AMEX card.
