    First trip and overwhelmed

    Most important thing is to tack on the Universal days at the end of your Disney trip, not the beginning. You'll do far more things and do them at a relaxing pace at UO - and it actually feels like a vacation, not a mission to accomplish. It has a tendency to ruin your Disney days if you...

    Does anyone else think a SNL Comedy Club could work on citywalk.

    Hasn't SNL tried to distance itself from comedy over the past 20 years?

    Glasses opinions for Universal

    Somebody had their head down in fear. ;) I've never lost my glasses or sunglasses (if I was wearing contacts) on any ride - that I was wearing at the time. Only thing I lost was a pair of sunglasses on the Mummy that were hanging on my shirt.

    Face shield in lieu of mask?

    I don't know how effective it is, but I assume the thinking is that the mask free zones allow social distancing while the masks are removed that can't be easily done while doing normal amusement park activities.

    Star Trek ride

    Star Trek IP rights are a mess.

    How long is too long?

    Mostly eating and drinking. :D We'll do mini-golf, spend evenings on the PBH Piazza at the Thirsty Fish people watching - especially if a group has rented the piazza for an event. Head over the the Sapphire Falls and have a late night drink in the outdoor seating of the rum bar. Go back to the...

    Which hotel breakfast buffet?

    Can't speak to the RP buffet, but as a hard core PBH fanboy for 20 years - trust me when I tell you that the PBH Trattoria buffet doesn't hold a candle to the buffet at The Kitchen over at the HRH. Not a fan at all of the HRH because of a very bad first impression in 2000, but tried their buffet...

    What's your best guess?

    Just canceled my late April trip. Knew I was going to cancel but just really hard to actually pull the trigger. But mid-May, you're in the same boat. A vacation scheduled when most kids are still in school is going to be far different this year. In the off-chance the parks get opened up by...

    How long is too long?

    We do 9 nights twice a year and never access our car the entire trip. But we don't do park days and pool days like some suggest. We swim every day. Hit 1 or both parks every day. Can pop over and ride a couple rides real quick before dinner if we want, etc. It takes like 13 minutes to walk from...

    planned a June trip? Are you optimistic?

    As slow as Florida is to react, I wouldn't be surprised if when they finally do, this closure isn't going to last much longer than people are thinking.

    planned a June trip? Are you optimistic?

    I'm April 24th. LOL Mentally, I'm putting my chances at about 10% - and I'm an optimist. :D If mine were May 31, I'd be thinking about 60%. I can change that to 59% or 61% if you want it to seem less arbitrary than it actually is. ;)

    Universal Orlando Reopened June 5th! CityWalk Reopened on May 14th

    Does anyone really think the situation will be better by the end of the month? I really hope there's no extension of the closure that wipes out my trip at the end of April, but I don't see us being over the hump in 2 weeks.

    I’m so glad I went!!!

    @fredandkell , don't write off Disney just yet. Rumor has it they'll be upgrading all 4 of their parks to B-Grade status within the next 10-15 years! Competition fuels quality.

    WDW Thrills Compared To Universal Thrills

    My guess is that it's about an 8 - 10 foot drop at the beginning of Gringott's if you are at the front. If it's actually 30 feet, then they must be measuring from the back of the tilt track. But you're also starting from a dead stop so it doesn't feel like a significant hill at all. It's just...

    RISE OF SKYWALKER and fixed point in time (SPOILERS)

    Then you gotta worry about some random visitor saying too much and creating a paradox. Too dangerous. ;)

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Didn't mean to step on toes with my post about line cutting. I'm used to the Universal side of the board. Line cutting is not allowed at Universal (although weakly enforced), so as a result any discussion on how to circumvent the rules on the forum is also not allowed.

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Make it part of the immersion of the ride. Cold, dark and rainy is the perfect prelude to getting captured and interrogated. ;)

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Great Idea! For even more fun, do it with 4 year old twins and your in-laws! :D

    RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

    Please log your times. It's only a matter of time before someone tries to see how early they have to be off RotR in order to catch the Hagrid rope drop. :D
