We are making the jump from Disney to Universal. What did me in was the thought of getting up at 6:45 on my first vacation in two years to buy ILL$ and making Genie+ reservations during one of the most crowded times of year.
Tentative plan is to stay at Portofino Bay. Three kids ages 12, 9 and 9 and one DH.
Thinking we'd stay 5 nights at Portofino and then one night at airport Hyatt before an early morning flight. (Spring break flights stink and I feel like I'm late to the booking time already.)
Given we are going at such a busy time, how long would you expect us to wait in the lines that have Express Pass? More than 20 minutes?
If I get a three park pass, can I use that three park pass towards an annual pass that includes only two parks? The pricing is weird. I discounted 5 day three park pass on a third party site is the same amount as a two park preferred annual pass.
That may lead to a third question, is Volcano Bay worth it if we are first timers and kids will definitely want to spend time at Portofino Bay pool? Disney is so unrelaxing -- I'm wondering if with fewer parks we might get more time relaxing by the pool.
