Early Entry in October - not there?

[fujamaga]

Hi! This is my first time going to Universal in over a decade and I have a stay at Portofino and Cabana, but it looks like there isn't an early entry time in October. Am I missing it? If there isn't, is there any benefit to staying at Cabana? Thank you!!

Ah, got it, thank you!! I was like, what's the point of staying on site if they don't have Early Entry....

While the EE isn't officially out, it is highly likely that the EE park will be the Studios side. It usually is since Studios closes early on so many nights for HHN.

The past couple of years, Studios opened at 7 a.m. for EE and then 8 a.m. for the general public. IOA opened at 9 a.m. While this isn't written in stone for this year, that has been the historical trend.

Also keep in mind that, while the park opens at 7 a.m., most of the hotel restaurants (other than Starbucks) don't shift their hours. On our one trip, we were surprised when we found out that the Bayliner Diner at Cabana Bay didn't open until 7 a.m. We worked around it, but it would have been nice to know when we made our grocery stop on the way to the hotel.

According to the Universal App, for October 7th which will be my first day at the parks, EE is for USO at 7.00, with IOA and VB opening at 9.00.
