Need Advice. First Universal Trip.

[bevans]

Hi,

My wife and I are going to Orlando for our 2nd anniversary 09/08-09/13 and need some help planning. We do not have kids. We spent 5 days at Disney last year and would like to do Universal this year. I have already booked the hotel(Mariott Grande Vista). We originally thought we would spend 1 day at US, 1 day at IOA, 1 day at Blizzard Beach and 1 day at Typhoon Lagoon. This would still give us a day to spend shopping/playing golf.

Do you think 1 day at each park without an express pass is enough time to see almost everything on a weekday in September? Or should I add express passes or another Park day?

Any tips or suggestions about our plan would be appreciated.

Thanks

For now, just do as you have planned. September crowds are generally quite low. If you find that you want the express, you can purchase it at many locations within the parks. Don't waste your money getting it outside the park or beforehand because you probably won't need it.

Thanks for replying. Do you know the price of the EP inside the park?

the prices vary based on date and which park you buy the ep for.


go to the website and look at the prices for the park and date you are interested in.


prices can increase prior to that day.


you are going in a low crowd period.


don't buy the ep in advance.
wait until you are in the park to make that purchase after you have gauged the line waits, if there are any.


if the single rider lines are open for rides, use them.
