Party of 7 but only 3 have EP

[mommyofthreeboys]

hi everyone!

I've never been to US and here I am planning a very last minute trip to US and Disney. My 35 year old sister in law has terminal cancer and has been granted her wish of this dream vacation through the Dream Foundation. They are providing 3 of us with park to park tickets and express passes. They other 4 of us need to purchase tickets and EP. QUESTION though...do we need the EP? According to Touring Plans, the crowd calendar is only at a 2. We are going Sunday December 4th.
Also keep in mind that there's no way she will have the stamina to last all day. Her dream is to see the HP stuff (and I just read that Forbidden Journey will be closed)

Thanks for your help!

I don't think you'll need it. Hopefully they can give her a castle tour. Make sure you inquire about that before you go.

If you find out you need the dos for the rest of the group, they can be bought in the shops or guest service the day you are there


And maybe guest services could allow the other 4 in your group to be allowed for all to stay together in this dream foundation trip

Would not hurt to check in that when you are there

It would be great if they could give you the Universal VIP Experience - https://www.universalorlando.com/Theme-Park-Tickets/Vip-Experience.aspx

This would give you "front-of-the-line" access to the major rides. I do think it is a long day though.

At the prices those tours go far, don't think they would be that generous

Normal day tours can get costly

I paid $2300 for the private rip tour which was for 7 hours
And park tickets are not included in the tours so that is an additional cost
