Ticket help needed for July

[stefplus3]

We're going to be in Florida in July (19-26). My 9yr old daughter is still princess crazy so the girls are going to disney but my husband and 2 boys want to go to Universal. We'll be doing these separate things for 2 days. What the best 2 day ticket option for Universal? Do we need to buy the front of the line option? Is that even an option if staying off site? I'm clueless! Thanks for any help

2 Day Park to Park ticket (otherwise you will not be able to ride the new Hogwarts Express). Even if your not a huge Potter fan the theme of the train look fantastic.

Having the express pass makes life wonderful. If you can afford to make it happen it's totally worth it. You literally just walk into a side line that take you to the front. For example Spider-Man could have a 60min wait and the time you wait with a fast pass would be cut down to 10-15mins a BAiG difference. Below are the ways you can get an express pass.

Option 1: You can buy the unlimited express passes with your tickets. It's would cost $339 a person for two day park to park tickets with unlimited express.

Option 2: If your husband and boys stayed onsite one night at any of the three deluxe hotels (basic rooms starting at $304 a night) they would get two days (checkin and checkout days) of unlimited express included in there room stay so the tickets per person would be $175. Staying onsite gives the the added benefit of 1 hour early entry as well. This is the less expansive option. You can check into you room, even if it's not ready yet as early as you like and get your express pass for the day.

Thanks! Crazy that it's cheaper for them to stay onsite! Guess that's what we'll go with!

Would the newest hotel Cabana Bay have that perk as well or is it only the other 3?

No, Cabana Bay has early entry but no included express pass. Only the other 3 onsite.
