I'm in the process of reading the Universal FAQ thread-pg 14. slowly but surely reading. Getting impatient though trying to find info but that's because it is all new I know nothing about Universal, we're more Disney.
Thinking of suprising my family with a trip to universal at the end of school. Here are some questions that have aorse since reading the thread. If anyone has an answer that would be great.

1) Thinking about June 26-30. What are hours for this time of year in general for the parks? Since it is still in June will it be full swing summer busy like July and Aug?

2) Planning on probably 3 days-we have health issues and move at a slower pace. LEaning towards onsite but haven't made a decision. Express pass is different from front on the line? I think what I've gotten is that you buy express pass and it can only be used one on each ride where Front of the line comes with staying onsite and can be used repeatedly on any ride? Can these be used with any ride or only some rides? If some rides where do I find the list of rides?

I'm sure I will have more questions but these are my starters.
TIA

Park hours are generally 8AM-10PM but may change depending on the level of crowds. The end of June is the beginning of the busy summer vacation season so both parks will be busy. Maybe not quite as bad as later in the summer but still crowded.

As an onsite guest, each person will receive unlimited Express access for the duration of your stay...including the day you check out. Express can be used on all but Forbidden Journey, Pteranodon Flyers and Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit. Onsite Express can be used on all participating attractions over and over.

Welcome to the Darkside! My answers above.

Since you have health issues and you're visiting during summer, you should definitely stay onsite if at all possible. You can take your time and head to the hotel midday for a swim or a nap and then head back in the evenings.

Ask as many questions as you need to...we are here to help! :)
