Express Plus Pass

Dh and I will be there the week before thanksgiving this year. We will be going to Universal Studios on Monday. Does the Express Pass benefit us? Has anyone used it? Please advise whether you found it a good buy or not. Thank you.

You won't need it the week before Thanksgiving. It gets very busy the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving though.

The lines will be short enough so that Express will not be needed.

I was hoping it would be slow enough we wouldn't need it. Thats why we planned the week before thanksgiving hoping to miss some of the crowds. Thanks for the posts everyone!

We are also going the weekend before Thanksgiving (11-18 thru 11-20) last year we also went the weekend before Thanksgiving and it was awesome no lines and the parks were not that full. We also did Magic Kingdom on that trip and MK was packed, It was so weird but then on May of this year we did MK again and it was empty but US and IOA were packed.

We went last week and Universal Express wasn't working on any ride.
No need to use it any way, the longest line was 20 min.

Yeah I am thinking we will skip the passes this time. We are going on a monday so hopefully it won't be to bad. We can handle the crowds if we have to, have done it before.

You can alwyas wait until you are there and if it seems too crowded, just buy them then.
