Squeezing in Universal during Lunch...

[JaxDad]

I love Disney, and have planned many trips to Disney. Disney! Disney! Disney!

It looks like I will have to go to Universal during our upcoming trip to Disney, since my niece and nephew seem to like Larry Potter instead of Toy Story. I’m currently planning for us to leave the glorious Disney bubble and Uber over during our lunch break from DHS, between the FastPasses I snagged 60 days in advance after getting up at dawn. Disney and FastPasses are so awesome!

Does Uber even go to Universal? Is it far? I think I’ve seen signs for Universal, and I think it is in the Orlando area, but I’m not really sure… Will an hour or so at lunch be enough time to see Potter Land? I know the rest of Universal is pretty much Six Flags with screens, so we want to get in and out as quickly as possible. My niece and nephew just need to ride the Potter Land ride and maybe get wands or something. Is there really anything else to see or do? Too bad Universal doesn’t have FastPasses. Or even hotels or restaurants or anything. I didn’t even bother looking for a Universal website before coming to this strange part of the DIS, because I’m sure they don’t even have one. I love the Disney website and app!

I think that’s it. Thanks in advance! Oh, and I won’t bother responding to your replies or ever coming back to this part of the DIS again, unless I just want to complain about how terrible the staff at Universal are compared to the Cast Members at Disney. Isn’t that so cute that they call them Cast Members! I love Disney!

Oh yeah, and for those that didn’t already recognize my DIS name, April Fools!

Yes, during lunch is the best time, especially for the Harry Potter areas. Rides should be walk-ons, 5min waits tops. I figure you can be dropped off, see and do all the Harry Potter things, and be safely back to Disney within 40min, 45min if you eat HP lunch.

A few tips:
Make sure to get a Butterbeer so you can compare it unfavorably to Disney's beverages.
Try to keep your eyes straight ahead so you won't have to look at any Universal fans or other areas on the way to HP world.
Grab a wand, stealing one from kids is fine since it's not Disney. The kids are probably unhappy already anyways.

Yes, should be able to do Larry Potter in an hour, especially since I heard Hairy Man's Coaster is doing some soft openings right now. Only a 10 minute wait.

This just about made my head explode. I stopped reading even though I knew it was a joke, but I had to go back to see how ridiculous it could get. Bravo.

This is my favorite April Fools post ever. And this is NOT an April Fool's statement. Hilarious!

The problem with reading things AFTER the 1st is done.....

I`m sure I`ve even seen some of those questions for real in the past...….

So true.


It actually took me until there being no hotels to finally get it.
