Hello everyone!
We will be moving our son into college in southern Florida in late July, and on our way home we will be stopping in Orlando for two days only. We have been to WDW three times, but we have never been to Universal. My wife and daughter aren’t terribly excited to go to Universal, but agreed to go for a day (although they did enjoy Universal Studios Hollywood when we went several years ago).
We will be driving from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando, and since we will arrive too late for rope drop, I thought we would visit Disney Springs first, and/or get a reservation at a restaurant at one of the resorts. When the room is ready, we will travel to Universal and check into our hotel.
At Universal, I wanted to stay at Loews Royal Pacific for one night, so that we can get the Universal Express passes. The second night we would stay at one of the Endless Summer resorts.
My question is should I do this, or stay in Endless Summer first, and go to Royal Pacific on our park day?
We are going on a Thursday and a Friday, and the price for the Royal Pacific goes up $30 or so on Friday. Still, if it would be easier to enter/leave the park, it will be worth it.
Second question, related: would it be easier to stay at Cabana Bay instead of Endless Summer?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can share!
