I’m a Disney veteran. I know the ins and outs and can plan a trip in my sleep. But, with all the issues Disney is having, I thought we would give Universal a shot. We’re staying at Sapphire Falls and my plan was to get up early, do early entry to try to beat the heat, come back to the resort and swim or head over to Volcano Bay, and then go back to the parks late in the day.
It appears meals are an issue. I had planned to get groceries from somewhere (we won’t have a car) and eat in the room, but I’m thinking we may need to plan lunch there too. What about dinner? I’d love to just do quick service in the parks, but is that an option without a two hour wait? Can we eat at a resort faster? Are there places close to eat? I’m not above grabbing an Uber and running to Applebee’s. It would probably be cheaper anyway.
I know we can take water into the parks and get ice water at quick service, but what is the wait at quick service for water?
How early do we need to get there for early entry? If I need to get there an hour early to save an hour wait for a ride, are we really saving any time? What if I get there right as they open?
I swear, I have thought so many times about cancelling this and booking Disney as usual so I know what I’m doing, but I’m determined to actually see this through.
