[Gina Misbach]

I am taking my kids ages 71/2 and 5 for the first time in April, I picked April because it will be perfect weather I hope and not humid, I know it will be crowded. I need help as far as the fast passes go, are they available in every park? If not, which parks have them and do I purchase them when I am there or do I do this in advance?I am staying at the sheriden safari, because I got my whole week free with my starwood points, and I am also getting the 4 day hopper plus pass. I also want to go to universal one day and sea world one day. give me some advice!!

also, how do I get the countdown to my trip on here
Please help me!! Thanks

We will be there with the Little Delegation during the same period. We have not visited in April before, but understand that it is the Peak Season. We normally go very early to the parks, return to our hotel for a swim and rest, then back out for dinner and evening entertainment; we have always stayed on-site, making our plan possible.

FastPass is available inside the Parks for all ticketholders at no additional charge. There are kiosk dispensers which give you a ticket for a return-time window, such as 11:00 to 11:30.

Just curious, really dont know how many points you have but would you consider staying at the sheraton safari for the days you are going to seaworld and universal and then using some of your points for the dolphin on site. Remember on site guests can take advantage of early entry etc. We have stayed at the safari and its a decent place and close. Our 3 ds loved the pool. We stayed at the swan this past april, which coincided with easter this year. The parks were so crowded. Get fp for the rides you really dont want to miss asap, make any priority meal plans way before you leave home, the weather was very nice most of the time. With good planning you will have a great time. Good luck.

Also at universal you can pay I think it is an extra $20 pp for the all express pass which lets you skip the lines. Well worth the money since you are going is during peak season. We allways stay onsite when we go to universal just for the privelage. We were able to get on the rides with little or no wait.
