Front of line pass

how do I get one of those they sound great, last time we bought a vip pass which is similar but expensive.

2 options here

1, Buy Express Plus but the busier it is the more expensive they are, for example early August a family of 4 would cost $298.16, this is for both parks and 1 day only, it also only allows 1 use per ride.

2, Stay in a Universal hotel same date as I checked above would be $336.38(AP rate $246.38) to stay at RPR, this would give you 2 days FOL access but unlimited use.

Thanks for info Wayne, I might book the hotel as it is much better value,my BIL upgraded to the plus pass at easter last year but thought it was unlimited like the vip, he then tried to use a ride again and was refused, so he went back to guest services and told them he was unhappy with this and wanted his money back, the guy was very simpathetic and did not want unhappy guests so he upgraded them again for no extra money to the vip, jammy or what, might try this myself lol

Went here last night and it was a buffet, food was ok, plenty of differnt choices.

Just to let others know Buzz Lightyear had a 2 hour wait last night even when it went to EMH it was still over an hour wait. Place seems to be very busy.

Another fantastic day, spent time shopping at Downtown then over to Magic Kingdom. Ate at Chef Mickeys and it was fantastic. Characters where really good with all. Was going to return to Magic but the rain came down really heavy so returned to BWV as we need to be up early for Animal Kingdom tomorrow.

 

[wayneg]

Please use up all the rain before Fiday

Up very early to be at Animal Kingdom for opening at 8:00am, managed to do all the rides we wanted for 12 noon went for something to eat and then the rain came down again, stood under and umbrella for an hour then waited what felt like an eternity on bus back to BWV. Just getting freshen up before heading to dinner at Whispering Cannon.

Don't forget to ask for a large coke with straws & Ketchup for the food.

Now I understand why you said this. I came out with a splitting sore head, anyway food was good but what made it for us was the atmosphere, this was fantastic, kids really liked it.

Up this morning and headed for Epcot again all rides done before 12 noon, DW and DD1&2 decided to shop again. How much shopping can they do as they plan again to go to Premium Outlets tomorrow morning prior to going to Magic then heading for dinner at Grand Floridian, really looking forward to this one.

Now the holiday is coming to an end only 2 days left and its been one fantastic time we all have had. Nobody wants to come home, if only we could win the lottery.

I can't believe it's nearly all over already, amazing how quickly the time flies by when you're there. We've got an ADR for Whispering Canyon (did try WC abbreviation, but I didn't want anyone to think I'd pre-booked our toilet breaks ). Really looking forward to surprising the children with the whole straws/ketchup thing.

You will love it the atmosphere is fantastic but take plenty of paracetamol for the headache.

 

[loobzuk]

thanks for the tip, will make sure to put paracetamol in my bag!

Checked in at DTD amased at the quickness of it all, then headed for a quick bite to eat at Earl of sandwich. Made our way to airport and made bag drop for car seat. Would like to give Virgin another pass mark so far. Very impressed with them and will hopefully be using them again next year.
