When do you guesstimate they'll post early entry for June?

[jagafen]

It's the last little detail I need to take care of....figuring out if we're going during a "busy enough" time in June for them to have Early Entry to US, or if it's just going to be IOA and VB....any guesses when they usually update the site?

Surprised it has not already been listed.

Surprised it has not already been listed.

That's what I was afraid of...that somehow, the opening of VB was delaying the official posting....

I'm not surprised. Based on my limited but recent experience, they do not do a good job of updating this information. I like Universal, but they suck at this.

I would be happy if they announced the EE times three weeks out instead of last minute

Seems like the late announcements always happens when parks have high attendance

Last year when I was there , some changes were made the day before and both parks had EE

Tm friends told me after the fact, UO waits until they have enough staff to work EE before changes go public

UO was working in advance for it but would not officially announce it until all staff in place

More than just adding tm for the parks but for transportation , parking garage, etc

It just seems crazy @macraven that they are unable to reasonably anticipate crowds based on historical data (and whatever other data are available) and manage their workforce accordingly months in advance. I was a manager at a large FedEx trucking and airport operation many years ago. I'm no whiz, but I could hire, train, schedule, and manage staff and equipment with a relatively high degree of certainty at least a couple months out, even with seasonably variable demand. Maybe I can get a job at Universal!

I was just searching online for this information, and couldn't find it. So I thought I'd come here and ask, and I saw this thread.

I guess I'm not the only one wanting to know!

Oh man, I want to know NOWWW!!! LOL
This is our first trip, and if its both parks for EE, what do I do?? Which park do you go to first for EE????
Gosh this is a tough one!! No Im serious!!

 

[macraven]

JaxDad
Go work for them and give them a 'what for ' from us !!



My only reply can be that they can't pull up expected numbers now because of Vbay opening this month

My next trip is in the fall at a busy time
Do know info will be slow then also if all parks have an early surge of attendance

I've been checking pretty regularly and they still have April dates up there. It seems really...odd? Disorganized? I dunno. Just not what I expect from such a large entity.
