universal newbie questions

[beachgirl99]

Hi everyone thanks for all the awesome uni info on here i am planning my first trip with DD for July 13-15 and staying on site. Im trying to plan like i plan for Dis but it's not the same! can anyone answer these questions:

1. anyone have experience with universal's photo package? is it like photo pass? worth it? i'm having difficulty finding anyone who's actually done it !

2. is a meal plan worth it? there seems to be a "secret" or little known plan that offers unlimited dining at a few of the restaurants in each park.. has anyone done this? can you do it for only one person in your party?

3. Is you "ticket" your card, similar to WDW key to the world?

4. confused about city walk and "admission" that i keep seeing, what is admission for?

thanks everyone..

I have the photo connect but I'm a AP holder and mines valid all year round. To me it's worth it as I have had it now almost 2 years. We got it when they first started.

The meal plan gas changed and not unlimited anymore. We have never done either one and don't plan too.

No , your room key, express pass, and ticket are all separate.

Citywalk is free to visit if already parking at the hotels or garages. The admission I believe is for the clubs but not positive.

Citywalk is like a big open mall/entertainment spot. Food, shopping, fun.

most multi day park passes allow for the waiver of city walk admission after 9pm.

meaning, the citywalk pass is a perk for the multi day park pass holders.
