I’m pleased my locker room tip worked, it was crazy outside Gringotts this year and people just did not listen to the part where not everybody needs to go in the locker area.
The lack of pool time due to rain stopping play was a bit annoying this year, I hope the lightening gods are feeling more in our favour this year!
That was an awesome tip, I almost didn't want to share it with everyone in the trip report as I really don't want everyone to start using it the lockers were mental at times.

I really hope we have a better summer this year, last year was the worst we've had, surely that means the odds are in our favour? Fingers crossed.

The breakfasts at French Quarter always look so yummy. I think they have a much better choice than Coronado Springs.

The Express passes are such a good deal and RPR looks a gorgeous resort. The price comparison to Disney is quite frightening for what you get. As much as I love the moderate resorts, the RPR rooms look much more luxurious, and even just staying in a building with enclosed corridors feels more upscale.

I can’t believe Dave was wearing his shades on Rip Ride Rocket.

I laughed out loud at your dad hijacking the dryer, that’s the kind of thing my mum would do.

I think dinner looks nice and it’s definitely somewhere we’d choose. I agree that Chilli’s is probably a better option, we prefer Tex Mex over more authentic Mexican.

Considering FQ is such a small resort it did have a really good QS at all meal times. At least it suited all of us. I was pretty sad it was our final morning, but there wasn't really time to dwell on it and we left all in a rush really.

I think you're right the room at RPR did feel more luxurious. It was a lovely resort.

Dad in the dryer that was so funny, Max was really laughing as he told us. I don't know what the other people were thinking I guess they were too embarrassed to say anything.

The dinner was tasty, it just wasn't quite what I hoped it would be as the atmosphere for us was non existent. I just really didn't want to have to go to the hassle of getting a Lyft to go for dinner as we had all the options on Citywalk.

Great Universal day, I’m all out of order commenting on your report..
Express pass in the summer is an absolute must for us. We are booked for RPR for a week for our next trip, as much as I wanted to try Sapphire Falls I didn’t want to not have express.

Your ET toy closet picture is really cute. I like the universal photo card, there’s not as many opportunities as Disney, but you can get really good deals to buy in advance. We have had an annual one the last couple of years.

I laughed at your ‘oh my’ on Rip ride, not sure I was quite as restrained, although screaming to I will survive all the way round helped.

You'll have a great time with a week at RPR in summer.

I love the photos so I'm always happy to pay for the package. When we first went to Disney and memory maker wasn't included with the tickets I still thought it was great value for money. I usually looked out for the universal photos in the black Friday sales.

I really did not like sitting in the front row of Rip Ride it's the long climb facing the sky that does me in. I'm happier if I've got my eyes closed. Much better that way.
