Thank you for all the impressions. I have an end of Nov/1st week of December trip planned for Royal pacific, and I'm hoping some of the problematic elements ease up some by then (better staffing in dining, housekeeping, etc.) and hopefully the crowds won't be as dire (though I hear express pass eases most of the ride waits, anyway)
I am worried about the food situation. I greatly enjoy dining as part of my vacation experience, and my first "pure" Universal trip was a revelation (vs. Disney) in how you could just eat where you wanted, the VERY DAY you wanted, without fighting with a million people six months in advance of your trip over online reservations. Yes, I had to wait 30-45 mins to be seated for cowfish/Marguaritaville/Toothsome's at peak dinner-times, but... whatever. I could live with that. That's no different than trying to eat at a popular place around home.
But yeah, food waits are the thing my kids have the absolute hardest time with, more than anything, when things go above and beyond normal with staffing issues, so I hope in the next 5 months, these things will normalize some..
