Express Plus ... Express Unlimited...same thing?

I was looking at tickets on the Universal Orlando site, and it has the option of purchasing park to park tickets with Express Unlimited pass. For regular one park tickets, you can add on the Express Plus pass.

I know that obviously unlimited means go to the front as often as you wish for any particular ride, but is the Express Plus good for once per attraction? Just trying to determine the difference. If the Express Plus is actually unlimited, it will be cheaper to buy those for our US days and stay offsite for one night. If its not unlimited, its more value to stay onsite for the one night and have the FOTL included in the cost for both days.

That being said, we will be attending US from 3ish-9 pm on May 6, and IOA from open-close May 7. Will we even need express passes at all? Should we just save our money and stay offsite? What are the realistic wait times for that time of year? And for me, 30 minutes is not terribly long, I would gladly wait 30 minutes for a ride.

Unlimited Express means you can use it on all participating attractions as many times as you wish.

Express Plus is good once through the line on all participating attractions.

Early May is slow so you should be good w/o them. In any event, don't purchase ahead of time...wait until you arrive to see what the lines are like.

Just so you're aware, you don't actually get to go to the front of the line. You get to use a separate line that usually is much shorter than the usual line... but you don't get to go right to the front.

Oh yes, I know it works like the Disney FP Thanks for checking though...some people are so uptight that not getting LITERALLY to the front of the line would totally ruin their vacation haha

That's exactly when they changed the name from FOTL to express....silly people.
