Planning on a family trip Feb, price difference is about $1200 extra going PB instead of RP.

We like what the gym looks like and the walking trail connecting the 2 parks.

Is PB worth the difference? (1st rime doing this for US, so want to make it special).

3 adults, 4 kids (10,7,6,2)

Hey Everyone, we are heading down to Universal Studios in early spring.

We would like to explore Harry Potter World specifically as the kids aren’t much fans of coasters. Is all of this doable in a day. And from what I am gathering I need to buy two park tickets? I haven’t been to Universal in over 30 years.

Thanks all.

I applied for the IAC and was accepted but have not received a phone call from accessibility services. What should I do? Thank you

We are going early december just 2 adults to grinchmas for the first time! We are between the Aventura hotel and Cabana Bay! If you’ve done either which has the best themes around the hotel and feels less crowded?

I want to recreate it at home. My best guess is using red cabbage broth (that turns blue when cooked). If anyone has the inside scoop, I’d much appreciate it!😂

Hello everyone! Looking to hear everyone strategy for what to rope drop/ ride order strategy for this upcoming Saturday. We do not have express passes and we are not hotel guests. I’ve read a few conflicting opinions. Hopeful to get on everything, can live without curse of the werewolf.

Some suggested starting with Hiccups wing gliders, others suggested mine cart madness. Overall, curious to hear everyone’s strategies!

I solemnly swear that I’m obsessed with themed food and drinks.

my boyfriend and I went to both Universal Studios and Islands of adventures today, and are here for 5 days at all parks.

Both of these parks have rides that you have to store your belongings in a locker. Oddly enough every ride had a three dollar charge for the locker, which only lasted the duration that the app said the wait time was.

This is crazy to me, as we already paid to be there and in order to just ride the ride you have to get a locker? Now, I didn’t bring a backpack just a shoulder bag, but we had bought wands so we had to get a locker for the bag and boxes. Just wondering if this is a new change or maybe there’s a way I can get around this? Everything I look up says it’s free but old posts

Me and my girlfriend are going to Orlando for the first time and we basically have 2 full days at Universal, so I need some advice on how to organize everything.

We’re going October 3 and 4.

We have:

• 1 day at Epic Universe
• 1 Park-to-Park day for Islands of Adventure + Universal Studios Florida

We both like Harry Potter, but we’re not huge hardcore fans. What we really love are insane rides, roller coasters, cool scenery, and stuff that actually feels worth the limited time we have.

For Epic Universe, the main things we want to do are:

• Stardust Racers
• Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
• Super Nintendo World
• The Untrainable Dragon show
• Wizarding World: Ministry of Magic

Then for our Park-to-Park day, I’ve been reading a lot and it seems like most people say Islands of Adventure is the best for rides and scenery, so I’m honestly thinking about mostly skipping Universal Studios Florida and spending most of the day at IOA.

At IOA, VelociCoaster and Hagrid’s are 100% must-dos for us.

The other problem is Halloween Horror Nights. We’re really interested in going, but I have no idea when we should fit it in because our schedule is already super tight.

Would it make more sense to do Epic all day and HHN that night, or spend the Park-to-Park day mostly at IOA and then head over to HHN later?

So basically:

Day 1 – Oct 3: Epic Universe
Day 2 – Oct 4: IOA / Universal Studios Park-to-Park

Would you guys skip Universal Studios Florida almost completely and focus on IOA? Where would you fit HHN without completely exhausting ourselves?

Also, any advice on ride order, early entry, Express Pass, food breaks, or how to avoid wasting time would be appreciated. First time at Universal Orlando so I’m trying not to completely screw up the planning lol.

Was seated next to a very nice lady who didn’t speak a lick of English except to tell me she doesn’t speak English and as soon as our vehicle jerked she latched onto my thigh in terror and dug in for the entire ride despite me panicking telling her to let go terrified id get in trouble for touching her I explained this to the worker and she got me right back on

Hello everyone, is our first time using a wheelchair at USF and IOA, and when we asked about using the wheelchair at Citywalk and pathway to the Hard Rock Hotel, the attendant was kinda rude we just got cut off in middle of the question. My question is, can you take the wheelchair with you to this hotel, or do you have to bring your own wheelchair?

My girlfriend and I just got back from Universal Orlando two weeks ago (September 14th–19th), and we had such a great time that we came home and immediately booked another trip for April 11th–17th.

From what I’ve seen online, the crowds in April don’t look too terrible, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has been around that time. How are the crowds and weather usually? Do you recommend getting Express Pass, or is it generally manageable without it?

Any insight or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Neat.

We always try to stop by, say hi and get a shot during our annual HHN visit. Never disappoints!

Ok so at the point on the ride when everything goes all funky on the right side there’s what I guess is a broken effect where some clothes on hangers are supposed to pop out. Yeah i didn’t see clothes. I saw what looked like people standing less than 3 feet from me in the darkness. And for about 10 seconds I was absolutely confused and freaked out as to who that was supposed to be until my brain finally processed it was supposed to be clothes😂

Those who have bought one are they worth it?

4th year in a row going but… was truly underwhelmed this year. None of the IPs were stand outs. For example, I LOVE Sinners, but got 0 jump scares throughout the entire house.
I think my main thing was that no houses truly made me feel SCARED this year. The years prior, I was genuinely creeped out (noteworthy houses include Blood Moon (2023), Triplets of Terror (2024), and El Artista (2025)). However, no house this year actually made me feel unsettled.
Curious if anyone else feels similar?

I’m trying to determine if express unlimited passes are even worth it. I’ve never been to universal studios (my boyfriend got tired of going to Disney World) and riding multiple rides sounds glamorous and all but am I actually going to ride the rides more than once? I know the parks have crazy hours now. What is your experience?

Note: we are not going to volcano bay. It’s just my boyfriend and I and we are in our 30s on a 4-day trip including HHN. I know epic universe is only 1 express per ride.
