Can someone clarify the express pass?

[Coll0610]

If I am not staying onsite, and I buy the express pass, do I get unlimited front of the line on the rides that have it? Or is it one time per ride?

Can I buy the express pass after I'm in the parks? Like if I get there and decide that the lines are just too crazy? Can I buy it then?

The basic express pass is for one time per ride per pass. They sell a VIP pass with park admission and that unlimited.

You can also wait until you get there to purchase the express pass.

If you are NOT staying onsite and you purchase the pass, you get one Express Pass use per ride. As you enter the EP line, they scan your card (usually).

You can buy the passes after you enter. They say they can sell out, but I don't know how often that happens. If you look at the Universal website, it will tell you how much the passes are for the day you are going, and basically the higher the price, the more crowded they expect it to be.

On our last trip, the passes were $25 per person (one of the lower tiers) and it was still worth every penny, in my opinion. Some lines that were 45 min were 5-10 with the Express Pass. With 2 little (impatient) kids, it was nice cutting down the wait times.

Does anyone know about the 2park annual pass?? is it really $229.99 + tax? That seems like a fantastic deal compared to the WDW annual pass.

That's what it is and I agree that it is a fantastic deal. Yearly renewals are $159 before tax.
