First timer here! If we’re coming from Disney in an Uber, what address should we give the driver for a drop off spot for the universal parks? Thank you!

Will you be checking into one of the onsite hotels or will you be a day guest only to the parks?

If you are planning park only, I find a drop off at Hard Rock Hotel is best

Once you are at the entrance to the hotel, just use the walking path to the Studios park

Very short walk
Could be 5 minutes of your time

very helpful, many thanks!! Also, we will just be visiting the parks for 1 day, no hotel. I'm assuming head back to Hard Rock for leaving the parks at the end of the night and getting the Uber from there?

 

[macraven]

Yes !

Have the pick up at HRH
It is easy for a driver to reach that place quickly

Call them when you are close to the hotel entrance

Use the walking path at the side of the hotel and cut through there

You do not have to be a guest at a hotel to use Uber/car service drop off or pick up

I have a quick question that I haven't been able to find on the forums (though I will admit I am bad a searching). We want to do Grinch Breakfast in December. When do tickets usually go on sale for it? We are Ubering over from Disney...if I make an 8am reservation for breakfast, will I be let in early for the reservation?

Thank you!!

I'm probably asking this in the wrong place but I have this one question regarding block out dates for the Seasonal vs Power AP's. I'm purchasing the AP strictly to take advantage of an available AP rate for our upcoming dates. In looking at AP block outs, our dates are not listed, however, Manheim Steamroller will be doing a concert on our arrival date. With the Seasonal Pass, it looks like I would be blocked from entering US on that date (even though it isn't one of the dates listed as blocked out) strictly because of the concert that day. Am I understanding that correctly?

 

[macraven]

What is the date ?

 

[MyHappyPlace17]

What is the date ?

December 15th. That date is not a "blocked" date, however there is notation about no admission to US on dates of concerts

 

[macraven]

I looked at the block out dates for seasonal ap and December 15 is on the list for the studios due to the concert

But IOA is not blocked out that date for seasonal pass holders

The power pass is not blocked out for that date
