The best bet and depending on how many days you want in universal parks is to check in at either hard rock, royal pacific or bay hotel and that way you get unlimited fastpass.
as an example check in Friday night and check out 6am Saturday morning and have all day Saturday in the park with the fastpass at no extra cost other than hotel bill.You can leave car in there car park all day as well

Just wanted to give an update as we have now been to Universal. Getting the pass was really simple. Guest Services asked how long we were here for and gave us a pass for the whole time.

Hi sorry to jump in - that's great it was simple for you.
Can I ask is the pass you get simply the same as an express pass. I'm asking for a friend who has a son with special needs and I had recommended a stay at universal. They will get express passes anyway but I'm wondering if the disability pass would be the same thing in terms of quickness in queues for them ? Sorry to jump in - I promised I'd help them find out

They are slightly different, on the disability pass if the queue was under 30 minutes you could enter the express line straight away, if it was more than 30 minutes you have to get a return time to enter the queue.

I have read Universal's accessibility information online and nowhere does it mention autism or learning difficulties on the sheet. Are we still able to get this for our son as it is going to make our holiday very much harder if we can't!

Has anyone visited recently and been able to get this for their child before I start a meltdown of my own?

Thanks.

I agree with others, booking a deluxe with express passes will make a much smoother experience. You can just join the express lines.
The disability system is great but there are a lot of people who have these and the system is different in that you have to get your Disability pass validated for each ride which can be a queue in itself as there are lots of people with them. You then have to either join the express line or regular line anyway (if less than 30min queue) or be given a return time to join the queue.
You can also only hold 1 ride at a time, but with express you can go ride to ride.
The disability pass does not really remove queuing, nothing does. The express pass lessens it more than the Disability pass though 👍
