This question seems like a no-brainer but I will ask anyway, is it highly recommended to have EPs if planning to visit Universal on Thanksgiving and the day after? We are looking to visit with friends in 2020 and none of us have been to Universal for 15+ years, so we want to ensure that our two days in the parks are as efficiently utilized as possible. Nightly rates for the premier properties are over $400/night (we are a family of 3, friends are bringing 7 people and need two rooms) so getting the built-in EPs is not necessarily cheap, but if needed it is much cheaper to go this route than staying someplace else. So just wanted to get some first-hand confirmation on how critical EPs are over that holiday period. Thanks!
