    Universal and.......?

    Lol! We stay in Cherry grove section up to Windy Hill! North MB is the only way we'd stay! The best part of going last week of August aside from the fact that most southerners are back to school is that the rates drop dramatically. We've paid almost triple for the same condo in July that we get...

    Universal and.......?

    We are spending last two weeks of August down south starting with Universal and ending in Myrtle Beach with Daytona Beach in the middle. We are driving as well. Daytona hotels have awesome rates for the resorts oceanfront.

    How to deal with the late-August heat @ Universal

    We are from Western New York, have gone in late August and are returning the third week of August this year. The main reason is because with school and the after school activities, this is the best time that is least crowded for us (and most affordable). We make the most of it (boys are now 10...

    TR - Cabana Bay Beach Resort & Volcano Bay - August 2017

    Thanks for sharing!! We had planned on returning this weekend but scrapped it for a few reasons. (Phew...good thing as weather not that much better than up here in the frigid north)! We are booked the third week in August (19th-23rd) and will be hitting up Volcano Bay for first time and staying...

    how to "wrap" suprise tickets for Christmas?

    I bought different themed t-shirts for each day for my boys...Harry Potter for one day, super heros for the next, etc. I plan on putting them in a box together and let them guess where they would need to wear them. I also got inner tubes for Cabana Bay to try and jog their memory.

    APH Rates Are Currently Available... [UPDATED 07/27/18]

    I've been waiting too! First weekend of January is crazy expensive and I can't justify cost for three days.... yet!

    Can I get both US and IOA done in 3 days without EP?

    We went last year in August (somewhat crowded) for two days with my 70+old parents and 7 and 10 year old sons. We stayed at Cabana Bay. We only did the parks for two days, utilized early entry (w/out the grandparents), did not have EP and did and saw everything repeatedly. The grandparents came...

    I'm guessing it's because it's the last weekend of The Harry Potter Xmas. I just want to say thanks again to you, Macraven, Schumigirl and a few others whose insight and experience has been so invaluable. The boards here have helped me plan a previous successful vacay and hopefully my next one!

    Deals and discounts

    OP, I too am looking at three nights, two days the first weekend in January...have been watching for awhile now. Disney is much more affordable but not preferable. I've done all the comparisons and realize we will probably just have to bite the bullet and book. I'm hoping for APH rates but won't...

    Annual Pass holder discount?

    We are looking at 1/5/18-1/8/18. I wasn't too concerned with the crowds and was also considering CBBR as we stayed before and my boys loved it. Once they announced the Harry Potter Christmas event which ends 1/6, I started questioning everything. I'm hoping that with Christmas and New Years...

    Cabana Bay versus Royal Pacific - crowd level 2

    Lol!! We were probably walking fast! Kids had ants in their pants for first time going and husband has long legs so we have to walk fast to keep up!

    Just found great deal on kid's HP shirts at target.com

    Kohls also has them online for similar price (7.99) and if you have their store charge, they currently have the 15,20, or 30% discount off. I got the 30% off ! I bought two for Xmas to put away for our January trip (I'm thinking that's how we will surprise them that we are going... a couple HP...

    Cabana Bay versus Royal Pacific - crowd level 2

    If I remember correctly, it's about a 10-15 minute walk. Very easy. We even walked back to the hotel after a full day in the park and that was with the August heat!

    Express passes for family of 6 in August

    I went last year late August for two days (the last weekend) and crowd levels were fine. Most rides were no more than a 30 minute wait except for when the rain hit and everyone ran for shelter to an enclosed ride. We did not have EP.

    Going to Universal late August; taking a 'risk' with not getting Express Pass

    We went last week of August last year and didn't have EP. The only times I regretted it was for Kong, as it was the start of a torrential downpour and a 30 minute wait turned into 90 and then later for Transformers when the rain came back. Both days we were there wait times were minimal (no more...

    CBBR vs RPR Jan 2018?

    Thank you all! My boys go back to school on 1/2... they only get one week off. I was hoping it was like that throughout and the holiday crowds would have returned home. I suppose that's why we get that February break. I will keep watching the rates for RPR and hope it's not too crazy. With only...

    CBBR vs RPR Jan 2018?

    I am so happy to be on these boards again! Thank you especially Schumigirl and Macraven for all your past advice... I learned so much. I didn't think it would happen for at least another two or three years but my husband has a work conference in Orlando 1/2-1/5/18 and I "convinced" him that...
