    Must see movies before visiting the Universal Resort

    Hey guys! It is now three weeks until we leave for our annual 2 week September trip. We cheated a little bit this year and also came in June. My daughter and I now always watch about 30 minutes of Harry Potter each night and are well into yet another HP marathon. I LOVE those movies, one...

    How realistic to get in 2 visits to volcano bay?

    We have stayed about 30 nights at cbbr after VB opened and are going again in September. We LOVE that park. We aren’t high energy either. My daughter and I are keen on the theme parks, but my wife and in-laws like to chill. So the consensus is VB. It is really a relaxing stay, lounging and...

    Drop on Gringotts? Compare to something disney?

    Gringotts is probably the best ride in the park. Going again and again makes u appreciate the great combination of 3d and real life. Incredible. The drop is maybe 3x bigger than Pirates?

    Rip Rocket-trying to overcome my fear!

    I love this coaster. And if you can handle Dr Doom this will be a breeeeeeze. 1. Youtube it and see Kevin Hard and Jimmy Fallon riding. 2. If all these little kids can go, so can YOU! 3. Afterwards you will be so PUMPED UP 4. It will give you a great sense of accomplishment, each time you...

    Traveling with 6 year old..not big rides, need EP?

    We have done both EP and non EP. It didn’t really make a difference in our case. You can always add the EP when you see the lines in the park that particular day. But we started out NOT buying EPs to kind of “force” our daughter to explore the park. So going back to back to back on rides wasnt...

    Anxious about Gringotts? Try it!!!

    What I do when someone around is afraid of rides, is showing them on YouTube and explaining everything. That really helps in my opinion. Escape from Gringotts is hands down the best mix of 3d effects and real life experience I have ever encountered. Just a phenomenal ride. Even the queue is...

    VOLCANO BAY.....INFO AND QUESTION THREAD........

    You can wear water shoes. And if you wear flip flops, they have little shelves to store them on while on the ride.

    Upgrade to Annual pass a month later?

    Is it possible to upgrade tickets bought with another Annual Pass? We have a preferred pass and are bringing my in laws along in our next trip. If we buy multi day tickets for them, with a 15% discount, can we upgrade to a seasonal pass if they want to go more then 5 times to the park?

    September weekends

    If you are only going to Islands of Adventure you dont need to worry about HHN and the park closing early. Sundays are probably better, but it isn’t that huge of a difference. You will always get a lot done.

    What does everyone think of Fast & Furious Supercharged?

    Positive things: * Nice queue - a lot of cool cars to look at and some intriguing stuff. * The “ high speed tunnel” is cool. Feels like you are driving really fast. * We kind of liked the pre shows, even though i can see them being cringe worthy for some. Negative things: * Story line makes...

    Besides going to the parks?

    VOLCANO BAY.....INFO AND QUESTION THREAD........

    We did at least 5 mornings in June at Volcano Bay. Early Entry is SUPER efficient there. You will be able to get A LOT done by the time the park opens. And they park was relatively quiet until 10am all mornings. And by 10 we just relaxed and then got ourselves and early lunch. (Dont do the...

    FAQ & QUICK ACCESS LINKS

    The trip was awesome, thanks for asking! We did Volcano Bay 5 out of out 7 mornings. The proximity to Cabana Bay is really nice. We always do like 2-3 hours at the park each time. Then we just go back and relax. We did all the big rides with not that much of a wait. My daughter loves The Mummy...

    Parks on Saturday-Monday or Monday-Wednesday in Sept.?

    We have done 3 septembers in a row now. With EPs for a large portion of thw trip, it honestly wont matter much. With EE as well the other days, you will get alot more accomplished. Volcano Bay in September is wonderful.

    FAQ & QUICK ACCESS LINKS

    For others in a similar situation (wanting to pick up APs already paid for). We went to the big Concierge stand in the middle of Citywalk. It was no hassle to get the Annual Passes there. Took maybe 10 minutes. We arrived at the Cabana Bay after the Universal deak had closed. The lady that...

    1 Day Only- Universal or SeaWorld

    I would do Volcano Bay. Best water park we have ever been to. Just absolutely wonderful. Otherwise, I agree with @damo in letting the kids decide.
