New Years Trip....

[smg1062]

Last year was Disney....this year...UNIVERSAL!! We're staying New Year's week and the week after at the Hard Rock. First time to Universal. Looking for tips/suggestions. We have a 6 yr old sweet boy with mild Autism and were told that the Universal Express passes will act like the Disney GAC in terms of alternate entries to attractions. Is this true? Do we need to get something else as well? Also, are there any discussion forums regarding the dining areas of Universal?

Thanks,
Steve, Julie, and prince Eli
