We returned Sat. night after visiting Disney, Sea World and Universal parks. I'm so glad the Universal parks were after Disney. The FOTL using the HRH room keys was the best thing! After waiting in those extremely short lines, Disney's lines would have been awful. I really hope Universal doesn't take away the FOTL for hotel guest because this is a great advantage over the Disney system.
Disney should implement a similar system. Disney could have early entry at all 4 parks every day. Just split the hotels into 4 sections, and rotate which ones have early entry at the different parks. It might necessitate increasing work hours, but if they spread out their hotel guests between all 4 main parks, you would be able to navigate the crowds and have an enjoyable vacation (and breathing room)!
At Disney Fast Pass is an improvement over standing in line, but they disappear so quickly, that you end out in line anyway.
I cannot say enough about FOTL privileges....we truly enjoyed it (even though we did receive our share of dirty looks from the people in the regular line). One complaint would be that the express lines are not always clearly marked and were unattended once you were in line. You would come to a closed door and wonder, should I crawl under the rope or go through the door. We finally decided you should go through the closed door.
If you have the choice about staying on site at Universal, do it!!!
