When can we access the park tickets / express pass after check in?

[kylieh]

We're planning on spending two days on a Sunday/Monday in May with unlimited Express Passes for the three of us. I did some maths etc and it's about $200+ cheaper to stay overnight at one of the hotels that includes the Express Pass and ticket deal.

So my question is if we check in on the Sunday say 8-9am do we get the Express Pass and Tickets to use that day, or do we have to have room access and the key first?

Once you check into the deluxe hotel, you are given a room key card for each person on your reservation

This is all you need to use the ep lines in the park

Your room may not be ready but you still will receive the room keys

Thank you - I think we'll be doing Universal this way
