What a rip off

DS is eligible for Universal's Assistance pass, as I said in my previous post, FOTLP is far better. The disability pass is like Disney's; you are given a return time although anything under 30 minutes you are let straight on.

I prefer the FOTLP as it makes us the same as all the other Resort guests.

Thanks for that.

We had FOTLP before, well... for a party of six, we had one Unlimited (we bought it from someone just leaving the park) and 5 normal one ride only ones.

I still get a bit peeved about this, especially given Disney offers it for free.

We would probably have benefitted from staying on site this time, especially with Diagon Alley's opening being so close! But we just can't afford to do that and then stay in Disney as well. This is something I'm thinking of for our honeymoon in 2017 though

Yes, Disney do their spin on it for free but I think the Universal system works better.

On the old FP system you had to walk to the ride, get your FP tickets and then find something else to do but couldnt have more than one FP on the go at one time, so it had to be something that didnt involve a long queue! With the new system, it seems to be a military operation to book the FP+ 30/60 days in advance.

I dont know what im doing tonight, let alone in 30/60 days time!

Yes, its expensive, but it works.

Some universal rooms are less than £170 though... yes, its a lot... but is it really in the grand scheme of things?

You will love it.
Great decision.

We did this last month and it was great. All very easy to do, the hotel was lovely (Royal Pacific) although a little cramped for 5 of us, and the longest we queued in the park was probably 10 mins (not including harry potter, which isn't included btw)

What I will say though is they aren't truly Front of the Line (FOTL) passes, you just go on the express queue like all over guests with express passes. Think I got it in my head there there is a third queue that guaranteed you almost straight onto the ride with only other FOTL guests in front of you. They are unlimited though.

Also, felt like we didn't really get our monies worth as although we rode everything we wanted, having two small children meant we were restricted a little - i.e. couldn't go on the hulk 5 times in a row which we probably would have if we were on our own! But that's down to our circumstance, not a fault of the passes - just thought id throw it in there as something to think about if anyone is going with little monsters

We're thinking of staying 1 night at a universal hotel
My question is. If you can only Cheack in at 4pm and have to be out by 10am how do the express pass work If you go to the park first thing

You won't have the room key till after 4pm

[lizzie145]

Your room wont be ready but you can still check into the hotel and get your FOLP, even as early as 7am,!
You will also be able to use it until park closing the next day

Ok. Thanks for that
