Staying at CabanaBay in Feb . . . should we get an ExpressPass

[terrilt]

We had to change our reservations from next week at RPR to CB Feb.5-14 . . . the prices were a lot higher in Feb. over next week, so we changed our hotel from RPR to CB . . . do you all think we should invest in the Unlimited ExpressPass? We will be there Feb.5-14 - taking 2 days for SeaWorld and 1 day for Kennedy Space Center - all other days for US/IOA. We haven't been in over 13yrs. It's just me and my husband.

According to UT's crowd calendar:

There seem to be a lot of days with a low and moderate crowd expectancy while you are down there. My recommendation would be:

1. go one those days when it is expected to be low
2. While in the park, see what the crowds are like and decide then whether or not to buy express passes. I don't believe there are any price differences if you buy them ahead of time vs at the park.

With that many days in early February you should be able to do everything multiple times. Crowds should be fairly low...so unless you are REALLY opposed to waiting in lines you should be fine without the EP's. The only thing that gets really long lines (other than the Harry Potter rides which the EP's aren't good for) is Despicable Me. If you hit that right at park opening (or during early entry) or late in the day it's line will be short.

You have so many days that it makes no sense to me to buy them. You'll have plenty of time to do everything. Lowest waits are in the morning and evening, so make sure to hit the rides that ge long lines at those times for the shortest waits.
