Mobile Booking universal hotel first time help

I’ve never booked to stay at Universal before, if I book Royal Pacific through somewhere like hotels.com, who should I book the park tickets with? Is it the ticket that comes with express pass or the room? Any advice would be appreciated as I’m not so clued up on Universal, and their website seems to be much dearer.

Book the tickets wherever is cheapest, the Express Pass is actually your room key nothing to do with the entrance ticket

Hi,

The hotel stay is separate from the park visits, so you will need park tickets as well as booking the hotel stay. The express pass is a perk of staying in one of the 3 premium onsite Universal hotels, so it comes with the room.

We used Hotels.com to book our 1 night at RPR and then booked Universal tickets (2 day park to park) through Undercover tourist.

Check in early on the first park day and you can use the express pass for both days (arrival and departure day).

Hope that helps.

Mark

Thank you that’s a great help. Do you know how early can you book in? We’ll be coming from a Disney hotel so if we get there before check in do you know if the hotel would store luggage so we can go straight to the park?

U can check in from around 7am, they will store your luggage aslong as your not coming from Disney! Only joking they will gladly store your luggage for you and will text u when ur rooms ready, you will get ur express pass when u check in, u then need to return to checkin to get ur express pass processed so u can also use it as your room key, royal Pacific is a lovely resort, we booked thru BA as they often gave very good prices for hotels

Can I ask - do the 2 day tickets work out much cheaper than the 14 day ticket?
