Does every ride have an Express Pass line - even the non thrill rides? I'm trying to decide if it would be better to just buy express pass for DH and DD7 who will want to ride the thrill rides or to get a room onsite for the 5 of us. My two youngest will be too little for the thrill rides. It might be beneficial to get a room if the more "kiddie" rides also had express pass entries. If not, then we might just buy express pass for DH and DD7

Thanks!

The rides without express pass are Forbidden Journey and Pteranodon Flyers. All other rides have it.

YUP...All rides and shows except the above and Ollivanders wand show has express pass access
 
Definitely get a room. That way you won't have to explain to your little ones why there are people riding again and again ahead of you while you wait amongst the masses.
 

Let me tell you, I was very happy to have the express pass.

The actual rides I did was Seuss trolley and ET. I LOVED not having to wait for those or having to be in a mob for shows.

You may find that there are several things you'll enjoy, and you will want to NOT wait any longer than you have to.

This brings me to a question that I had about EP. Can you generally walk up at the last minute for a show when you have EP or do you still basically have to get their early to ensure you get a seat? Is there reserved seating for EP holders?

In general, you need to arrive before seating begins to get any benefit. There is usually an express line/waiting area that it let in first, then the regular lines are allowed in. They don't "reserve" seating for people with express passes, so once everyone has been let in, you'd have to just find a spot with everyone else.

Thanks. This is very helpful. Is there a way to know when they start seating? Otherwise, what's the benefit of EP for shows? Do you get better seats?

Also, could someone help me out in understanding the price of EP. I just want the regular EP for one park for one day.

Arrive about 15 minutes before showtime, and you'll be fine.

A bout 15 mins before show start.The seats for EP are generally up front and closer than when they let in the standby guests
