Day 15 is up.

We love being at Universal with the Express Pass as you can get so much done.

We are big Harry Potter fans in our house and love Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

The express passes were worth it we loved being able to just turn up at any time and not have to worry about a strategy.

A very successful moving day Abby!
Well done on using up all your credits. How lovely to pass the balloon on as well!
Royal Pacific looks like such a lovely resort and such a bonus you get the Express Passes, you feel like royalty with those bad boys in hand!
You’re crazy Abby, I can’t believe you went on RRR! Hats off to you though, there’s not an amount of money anyone could give me to get me on that ride 😂
Really great photo of you all in the ET wardrobe.
Shame about the restaurant putting you on a crappy table, I hate it when they do that. Dinner looks really tasty though, I love Mexican.
All together a really great first day in Universal

Hey there happy new year and I hope this is a brilliant year for you.

It was nice to gift the balloon. I like to think that the family we gave to also gave it away at the end of their trip and that it kept on going as a random act of kindness for a while. It certainly looked like the balloon was going strong and it didn't seem to be deflating at all.

The express passes really did make us feel like royalty. They were so handy and we managed to do loads of rides without even thinking about what the wait times were. Plus it meant we didn't have to leave mum and dad for too long while we rode the big rides.

The food was yummy, but it was a pretty crappy table. It wasn't until after we all sat down that I realised it was so bad and actually 2 small round tables pushed together, but I was too hungry and tired to be bothered to move. The margaritas were pretty good though, so maybe I'd go back just for a drink and some nachos? That would be a good plan I think.

Well done on going on RRR, it is way above my threshold for rides! You managed to get lots done, we loved the Express Passes too. RPR looks lovely

The express passes were so worth it. I'm glad we did the whole on site thing at Universal this trip as it made for a relaxed last few days.

Fab day at Universal Abby. Loved all the rides you got done. It’s a shame Diagonal Alley was so crowded , it’s hard to see all the details when it’s like that but looks like you had a good time.
Loving the marg and the glass (!) at dinner. That’s a pain about a poor table. It niggles at you all through the meal doesn’t it .

So pleased it’s been a hit so far, even with some rain.

It was a great day for rides. The atmosphere when its busy is always good, but pushing through crowds is never fun, you're right it's hard to take it all in when it's so busy.

That marg was spicy, but I liked it.

A fab first day, I think you were brave to do Rip Rocket-I used the excuse that I need to leave some rides for the next visit!
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!
