Confused about Express Passes vs. Express Plus Passes

[Luvmyfam3]

Hi All!

I saw in the thread above about the explanations on getting to the front of the line. I assumed that the Express Pass was free. But, then I see another thread about paying for an Express Plus Pass. Can someone explain the difference? Thanks!!!!

Express Passes- are free and you can get them at any of the distribution centers near the ride its designated for. For the most part, you may only have 1 at a time and you get a choice between two timeframes to return during.

Express PLUS Passes- Can be bought at ticket window or at designated shops. A ticket-sized card that is good for 1 express ride on all rides. The cost is usually between $15-$25, depending on the estimated crowd for that day.

I honestly don't think buying Plus passes is worth that much extra money, if toured right, you won't be standing in many lines anyway, and its not like lines are the end of the world.

If you buy the Express Plus does that mean you can go anytime and ride the ride you want and get right on??????

Yes with Express Plus you can go to every ride and show in the park one time but you can go whenever you want. That's the benefit. Instead of only getting a few express tickets throughout the day at only certain rides you can go on everything.

It is definately worth it during peak seasons but not during slow periods of the year.

Are the Express Plus Passes good for both US and IOA? Or do you have to buy one for each park?

You have to buy one for each park.

You have to buy one for each park

When we did this last fall, it was $20 for one park and $25 to get one that was good at both parks - but still only that one day. We did the $25 and hit all the major attractions in IOA and USF between 9:30 and 4:30. While the parks weren't really that crowded, we could not have done everythin without the express Plus passes.
