Should I purchase the express pass online?

We are going to be in US and IOA on June 4th and 5th and will be staying off property. Should we purchase the express passes ahead of time online or wait and purchase at the parks?

If they're cheap and you're sure it's something you want to have, you can do it online.

I personally would wait.. and see how the wait times look when you get to the park. If you get there early enough, you can definitely do the parks without Express. Islands being easier than the Studios though..

There's plenty of stores and carts where you can purchase Express inside the park so it's really not inconvenient.

Universal Express works in one of two ways.

1)Stay at an onsite hotel. Your room key allows for unlimited access to the express line during the length of your stay. Everyone needs their own room key.

2)Purchase an Express Plus pass. Can be park specific or combo. These are date specific and can only be used 1x per attraction. You must buy one for each person in your group.

This may help you decide as well

Like Nerdboy stated, I would wait too...that's a lot of money to spend if you don't really need it.
