Daughter (18) and I need help with some planning questions.
Our trip is 3/13 - 3/20.
We are staying at OKW.
We have a 3 day pass to Universal/IOA.
We have never been to WWoHP and plan to make this our main focus but are going to do as much as we can for the rest of both IOA and US since we have 3 days to do so.
Here goes....
1. March crowds are 8/10 according to Undercover Tourist. We have been to WDW in March, numerous times, and have never found them to be overwhelming. We are early morning people and have been there at rope drop, left the park early afternoon and returned late afternoon and have been ok with wait times. Is this unrealistic to think Universal might be the same?
2. We have our own car. Can we leave and return later in the day without paying parking twice?
3. Parking is $20 right?
4. Can we add Express Pass upon entry to the park as an add on if needed? I purchased tickets from Undercover Tourist already, (buy 2 days and get third free) thinking this was a pretty good deal.
5. Should we only purchase an Express Pass for the day(s) to do everything except WWoHP? I am aware that wait times will be long but express pass only covers two rides in WWoHP correct? We are planning on doing WWoHP over a few days, trying to work the crowds (advise welcome for this). Is it worth the extra $$$ on one day only or if we get there at rope drop and go back later will we be ok without it?? Should we do two days express?
6 Express pass is $59.95 additional on website. Is this correct or is there a discount somewhere? Probably not if we do decide to do it day of ...
7. Park hours are only until 8 or 9 when we are there, depending on which park we are in. I was looking at Mythos, but am wondering since they seem to close very early, before park closes, that we may want to enjoy the park before it closes and not waste time dining there but to go out to Citi Walk later to eat instead. Thoughts?
8. Recommended Citi Walk restaurants?
Thank you everybody in advance for your advice!
