Universal newbie here ....

I have one day one park tickets that I bought for our 2013 trip. We didn't use them, so I was planning on using them in November 2014.

In order to see Harry Potter in all it's glory, I'll need to update them to 2 park passes, right? And as far as I know, I can't do that until I get to the park....

To complicate matters, we want to buy express passes.

Can I buy the one day 2 park express passes now, and then upgrade my tickets from one day one park to one day 2 park when I get there?

Any better way to do this?

Thanks for any and all assistance.

since you already have the one day ticket, upgrade it at the park when you go.

you can use that ticket to get into the gate but upgrade it sometime that day while in the park.
you'll be excited and won't want to do the upgrade right away .....

when are you going in november?
there are some dates where the express isn't a necessity.

i always say do not buy the ep in advance as it is park and date related, and non refundable.
if you buy it and the park has low crowds or if it is pouring rain, there will not be long lines for rides/shows.

post your dates so we can better help you.
there are dates around thanksgiving time where there will be crowds.
 
We're thinking of going November 26, which I think is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. I was assuming it would be crowded.

Do Express Passes sell out at some point?
 
I was wondering the same thing, kind of... We are going from September 27 - October 3rd. We're visiting various parks while we're in Florida and going to Universal and IOA on October 2nd (which is a Thursday) and going to do the 1 day/2 park pass. Do you think we'll need the express pass or the crowds/lines for things will be low enough that the waits won't be that long? And does anyone know if I do purchase the express pass, will it include the attractions in the new Diagon Alley or has that not been mentioned/announced yet? And one final question, does the express pass include Forbidden Journey? Thanks for all of the help!!!!!!! :goodvibes

normally, that thursday should not have a crowd.
do not know if hp2 will have any affect on that.
too soon to tell since it hasn't opened yet.

wait and buy the ep when in the park
they are park, date related and non refundable.
if no line crowds, money down the drain with the ep.

Fj has no ep line.
i would doubt that the ep lines for DA would be open this soon after the grand opening.
 
And I'm assuming that during Thanksgiving week, express passes would be advisable?
