Going in May.. a couple questions

[ChiTownGirl]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, and I've only been to Universal one time almost 10 years ago.

I'm going again with my sister and a friend at the end of May. We got a great rate for a hotel/rental car/and flights and are staying at Bahama Bay... but after purchasing our tickets I started noticing a lot of bad reviews for this resort. Has anyone stayed here? What did you think? We have to stay there either way but I'm hoping someone can reassure me that it's not so bad!

Two questions about the parks-- We are getting the 2 day multipark pass, would it be better to do Universal on Sat. the 21st and IOA the 22nd? Or is the other way around a better idea?

Should we buy the tickets to the parks now or is there a chance the online price may go down closer to the date?


Thanks for any help you guys can give me!!

Saturday will almost certainly be more crowded than Sunday. Recommend you stick to your dates as is so you can hit Harry Potter (@IoA) on the less crowded day.

I don't know about the hotel, or best advice on tix. Others will probably be along to help there.

There is no chance the online prices will be coming down anytime in the near future. We are getting into a busy period and with the popularity of WWoHP, don't look for any deals. However...there are some discounted tickets available from Costco, UndercoverTourist and others. Those are your best bets.
