Question about $99-7 day tickets

[Harmony]

I bought these tickets a year and a half ago and now we are heading to Universal in a week and a few days!!! Woo Hoo! Can you tell I'm super excited?

Okay, so I just want to confirm with you guys that those $99-7day tickets are park-to-park, correct? As I recall, they are park-to-park but I'd just like to confirm it. I do plan on calling Universal tomorrow to reconfirm but I know you guys are great about giving correct information.

Also, the parks close between 7-8pm every night we are there. Any ideas on what to do after? So far, I'm thinking City Walk a couple of nights and hanging out by the pool. Any other interesting ideas?

Oh, and what do you guys think about crowd levels during our stay?
(Aug 24th-29th)

Yes, they are park to park. Crowds should be moderate.

There is also the movie theatre.
You can check out Hard Rock Live. http://www.hardrock.com/live2/calendar.aspx
You can go see Blue Man Group.
You can tour the other hotels and pool hop.

We can pool hop? They allow that?

Awesome...park to park!!!!

What does moderate mean? 30mins average wait times? Or more like 15mins?

We are staying at RPR so hopefully, the lines won't be that long a wait but you never know, right?

Oooooo, Blue Man Group!!!!! Totally forgot about them! Thanks!

Yes...Universal allows pool hopping at the resorts and make sure you take advantage of that.

Average wait times should be in the 15-20 minute range depending on the attraction. HP will be longer of course but everything else should be fine.

If you are staying onsite, it should be great. You can't use your express pass on Forbidden Journey, Pteranadon Flyers and Rip Ride Rockit. So those lines could be a bit of a wait.

We used our $99-7 day, park to park tix this past March. (I bought them in Feb 10). They were great.You are going to LOVE the express pass and also how quick and easy it is to navigate each park. I was also amazed at how close together everything is!! Enjoy your trip....and bow to the Hippogriff for me.

We love to have a nice dinner, and hang out in the restaurant for a while after we eat. We then take the kids to the pool until about 10:30, then we shower and they are asleep before their heads hit the pillows! They love their night swims. Each of the onsite hotels has something going on in the evenings for fun!

I wonder if they'll ever do that $99 deal again? wishful thinking....

I bought our $99 tickets back when I first heard that prices were going to go up. We didn't even have a trip planned at the time. I just figured "some day."

And looking back, it's saving us quite a few pennies! My DH said "wow, you were smart to buy these when you did." I couldn't bring myself to tell him my "secret." (that I got the info from the disboards) Nope instead, I'll just let him keep on thinking I'm a genius!

We do hope to spend some time at the pool. How crowded are the pools after the parks close?

Ah, I can see myself with a tropical drink as I "speak."
