Just back! Loved WWOHP!

[Moon Child]

We've stayed at Universal Many times, this trip was the best!
We spent Sat Oct 1st thru Thurs the 6th in Disney World, then on to Universal!
Stayed at The Royal Pacific, our 3rd time there, beautiful resort
The Forbidden Journey is AMAZING! Can't say enough great things about it.
Had the Frozen Butterbeer, purchased the souvinior cup, it was delish!
My oldest son purchased a wand, we just walked around the whole area with our mouths wide open, it's so awesome!
The one that I was confused about was the express pass for FJ
I was under the impression you could use it once any time of day, was told no, only during the 8-9 am early admission time. Then, when we tried to use it then, were told no also. So we never did use express pass on FJ, but luckily we got there super early on 2 different mornings and there was barely a wait.
The only spoiler for us was the monsoon like rain on Saturday, but we just put on our ponchos and went, we were the only 4 idiots on Jurassic Park in the pouring rain
The rain cancelled the Dive In Movie at the resort Fri Nite and Sat nite, so that was a bummer, but my kids have seen it b4, we just look forward to it.
But we can't complain, the rest of the week was beautiful! Mid 80's and no humidity.
Oh yeah, and I think our best meal was at Finnagin's (as usual)
Love love love that place!

Also, forgot to add...
loved Rip It Rock it! ALthougth, the sign said a 10 minute wait and it was more like 45, it was worth it

thanks for the review. I thought express pass was never valid at FJ or P-Flyers

Glad you had such a great trip! I can't wait to get back there next week myself.

FJ does not have express. Staying onsite allows you the one hour early entry into WWOHP.

Yup, there was never express access on Forbidden Journey. Those who stay onsite can get early admission to the Wizarding World before the general public but still not express access on FJ.

If I recall correctly, there was speculation before WWoHP opened that there might be a once-per-day Express privilege on FJ for onsiters. But as PPs mentioned, that never materialized.

I totally agree WWOHP is amazing!

That's what I had to have been thinking then
But with the one hour early admission, you don't need it
