Help with ticket choice for universal

[princessmomma]

We will be going to Universal and Disney, 4 days total, spending one day at Universal and three at Disney.

1. Should we do Universal at the beginning or end of our trip?

2. We plan on staying at one of the on-site hotels for one night. Probably PB. Does that mean we will have FOTL on the day we check in or the next day?

3. I am getting PB for $287 a night, March 1st, is this the best rate going? Do they still give Entertainment book rates?

4. What type of ticket should we get? Travelling with a 7 and 9 year old that love coasters. DD7 has done Rock n Roller coaster at MGM and loves it.

Also, our flight leaves at 6 p.m. on the last day, so we really have half a day to do things if we get a 2 day ticket to Universal. (If we leave it until the end of the trip.)

I was thinking about doing Universal first and leaving Disney for the end. (We love Disney and in my mind "keeping the best for last" mentality is going on.)

5. Is this a good deal that they are advertising on wdwinfo.com website??

Are there cheaper places to get tickets?

Universal Studios Tickets

1. Thats up to you. Normally I would do whatever works better in your schedule. But for most people if your staying onsite they would stay at the end of your trip.

2. Both actually. You can stop by in the morning before check-in time and they can give you a pass good for FOTL access then the next day your key is good all day for FOTL.

3. No clue on room rates although its always a good idea to check out the pass holder rate because sometimes its worth getting an annual pass for one person just to get the room rate. Plus then you have the discounts in the park.

4. If you really only go to Universal for one day then the single day two park tickets would be best. If you do go two days though there are some deals. Since your children are under 10 the best deal I can think of is getting the UK ticket deal they are 3 day tickets and you get one free Kid's ticket with every adult ticket purchased. Heres the link it works out to around $120 with tax for each set of 1 adult and 1 childrens ticket.
