I'm going to leave it until we're there and see how we feel. Thanks again anyway
You're welcome.

Whatever you decide to do have a fantastic holiday

We are here now and had to buy a day ticket for US/IOA for my husband as his got sucked into the gap in the air vent in the car (he had it out in case he needed it at the parking bit). Not having specialist tools to take the casing off the air vent we had no other option than to purchase another one at a cost of $181.00. Massive lesson learnt though. If we had taken a photo of each ticket & bar code, they would have replaced it. That will always go on my list of things to do now as I had no idea about this!

Oh no, that's such an expensive mishap Thanks for posting this; I will definitely remember to take a photo of any future tickets and keep any tickets away from the air vent.
Why was a replacement ticket so expensive?

Agree with this! When you hand over the £400 for a 14 day ticket it seems like a lot but in the scheme of things it doesn’t work out so bad! Universal prices have really shocked me this time! Best get saving as we will be doing some time in both!

We recently purchased ours online the day before we went. It was around £140 each for park to park tickets. The price dies depend on the season, I think ours was value? I downloaded the app and then scanned the barcode from that to enter. It was a lot if money but we couldn't not go, and we know universal like the back if our hands so we knew exactly what we wanted to go on and in what order. Wait lines were around 10 mins so we did everything in both parks in 6 hours. The only ride we didn't do was hagrid but that was because it was closed all day due to bees! Uber was around $17 dollars each way from cbr.

We've not been to Universal before so I thought if we were going to do just a one day visit, we'll keep it to just the one park (Universal Studios rather than IOA) and keep the ticket price down. I suppose if you know that parks well than you can squeeze both in a day. The 2 park per day ticket is obviously better value on paper, I'm just not sure it would be the right choice for us
