We only want to do universal for 2 days so can't justify the £600 odd pounds for this. We may go to the London Harry Potter instead for the same money.

We did one of those timeshare presentation things our first holiday for Seaworld tickets. I was a kid so got to at least visit their playroom but my poor parents were stuck with really pushy salesmen and we spent most of the day there. And oddly now we're DVC members
As much as I'd love to do Universal again, it's unaffordable with Disney as well so we had to skip it. Honestly, as I've done Disney for a few holidays running I wouldn't mind doing just Universal next time TBH. |

Stuck in the Tower of Terror

Send me a private message and I can give you the number of a taxi driver we used if you want. He was great, took us to a variety of places and he seemed to keep getting cheaper each time! One day he wasn't working when we needed him so he arranged for a colleague to do the job. It was just a case of contacting him on watsapp. Mears has the run of Disney and they're so over-priced.

Have you used UBer before?
If not, both you and your wife need to set up accounts and use one of the free $ codes that you can find online. Last year when we both set up accounts we got $15 towards your first journey. We travelled from Aviana (past Championsgate) to Discovery Cove and return and neither trip cost us anything. |

Excited about Disney

Remember the old days when you could fit everything into a 2 week holiday? We tried to do Universal/Sea World/beach on one holiday and exclusively Disney planned for the next. Last August for us was Universal etc with one day in MK and one Halloween party. I can't explain how much more excited we felt when entering Disney and vowed would never leave it out again. Was so jealous every time I saw a magic band! Universal (end of August) was very busy. On a quiet day you can easily fit it all in in 2 days. Had to do single riders for everything just to get them done last year. Always worked out cheaper for us to get 14 days than 2 crazy as it sounds! Not sure that would be the case now sadly!

Thanks Michaelb136 but I think we've decided we are not going now, the closing time of Universal and IOA on the day we were going has changed from 8.30pm to 7pm which has now made it even less value for money. We need to get round both parks in a day and taking the heat and crowds into consideration, we were hoping it would close around 9pm, 1.5 hours less is a big chunk to take off when you are spending that amount of money.

Getting Excited

Use Uber instead of taxi and if you sign up to a new account use promo code "feeling22" to get $22 off your first trip so if 2 people sign up you get each journey for practically nothing.
If you know anybody that has a Universal Annual pass they can get a 15% discount on tickets for friends. If you are going for just 1 day maybe have a look and see what rides you can't miss and see if express passes are really worth it especially considering you don't get express on the Harry Potter attractions. If you really need to get express have a look at the 1 time per ride express pass it's cheaper than the unlimited. If you are going after most of the kids are back in school I would judt get there for opening and forget the express passes. |
