trip booked

[shortie1023]

Just booked my trip for June 8th!!!!!!!! So excited and its my first time!!!!! How are the crowds in June?

Early June is like 5-6 level crowds. Are you staying on site? If so, your Express Passes should mitigate any crowd level.

I'm staying right outside the park but I plan on buying the express pass. I've never been so I don't know how they work but I heard they were worth the money. I'll be at Universal for 2 days so I want to try every ride.

If you buy them, you only get one use per ride. If you stay onsite, you get unlimited use. So, if you really love a particular ride and want to ride it again, then you have to wait in a long line. That is my understanding anyways..

In fact, if you stay onsite one night at one of the Deluxe hotels you get 2 whole days of unlimited express and you can even check in as early as you want that first day. Bell services will hold your luggage for you until your room is ready.

You don't have to stay onsite to get unlimited express rides.
You just have to buy the park to park with unlimited ride pass.
They sell it on universal's website.

It is worth it if you are going during a high crowd time.

Last time we went my daughter and I were able to hop on and off the Mummy ride three times in a row. It was the best.

We always stay offsite. (once onsite) No difference in the benefit of the pass.

Correct.You can bUY the unlimited pass, but depending on the time of year, projected crowds( price for the passes go up with the projected crowd levels) and number of people in your party, it CAN be cheaper to stay onsite.It pays to sit and do the math

Yep.....when one of our friends was going recently it was cheaper for them and the three kids to stay on site than to buy UEP. Plus they got to enjoy a beautiful resort as well. They're now hooked on Universal in general!

Got to do the math for your family

Absolutely!!
But not for us.
My husband travels so much for his job that we rack up free hotel points. So staying offsite is much cheaper lol (free actually)
