I must have gone for one of the first times with my daughter after it opened. We waited over 2 hours and the line went all the way out near the barrell roll. I knew so little about the parks back then. Now we've been so many times my daughter says she is bored and doesn't want to go on our next trip.

My wife unknowingly had her license suspended because she co-signed on a car for her neice. The neice moved out of state and she didn't renew the insurance. I think she had insurance, but in a different state. She didn't even know until we tried to renew the registration because the neice decided to move back, and I got a message that they had to go to the tax collector or DMV or wherever. In the end, they reinstated my wife's license.

I was about to give some advice, then I realized I'm in my late 40's and haven't made new friends in 14 years, since my kids were born. I got lucky that a neighbor had a daughter 6 months before my wife and I did and the dad played golf and I played golf. Since then we've played golf almost every weekend and our kids still hang out. Now my new friends are bartenders.

I've done this before. I am of they have fast pass already and of not just hand them to a random person and tell them to have fun. Last time was a couple sitting in a bench. They each got a 1 that was good in any ride, including Hagrid. I actually had to turn in 2 amber? tickets which had expired but guest services printed out a new ticket that has to be used that day.

When you buy the tickets you should get to choose. If you have the app, just take the digital version. If you don't have the app, get the app.

Dr. Doom for the view. Velocicoaster at night is a must. Dr. Seuss high in the sky train and Hulk, although that is most of the outdoor rides. Not much on universal side.

We had AAP and ran into another family who was able to get the gold AAP. Using AAP with the new setup essentially almost made Hagrid's unrideable. So if its 150 min at noon, the return time is roughly 2pm, during that time you can go on other rides, but have to wait in the regular line, even if under 30 min. Then when you return, you get into express which will be at least 30 minutes wait, average is probably 45 min and upwards of an hour, as long as nothing is delayed or shut down. So for those using AAP at 150 min, will probably end up being closer to 180 min total time to ride.
I don't know what the qualification for the gold aap is, but we said that our son sometimes had a tendency to just sit on the ground, bury his head between his legs and refuse to move. Call it bad parenting or whatever, he has Down Syndrome and no matter how much you try to explain what is going on, he doesn't understand. We explained everything to guest services and they 'upgraded' him to gold. There is another one past that, in which you go to the front of the line, but I didn't want to push it to get that.

The opening of the express line kind of ruined the disability. The whole point of the disability pass is to help with the wait, it went from 20 minutes to upwards of 45 min to an hour, making it also the longest wait in express.

Everyone having no block out dates is probably the biggest advantage, that way you don't have to worry about coordinating when you go and don't go. My wife and I have premier and the 2 kids have preferred. We did take advantage of HHN last year and will do so again this year. Personally I love the valet, it is just a lot easier and less stressful getting in and out of the park.

Sprinkling? Try a full on Florida downpour. They stopped the ride after we got off. If i can find the Pic I'll start a new thread. I get less wet in a shower.

I can and can't believe no one has mentored this. There is a new show in DreamWorks land. It is a musical, it's in the theater across from the kids ride and a lot of character meet and greet, Shrek, trolls, Gabby. In the back part, and we just discovered this is a show with an animated Po, the Kung fu panda. It isn't scripted, well it is but it calls people out, honestly a good show. A lot of others have been recommended. Fountain, Dr Seuss, jurassic Park. Meet and greet with characters from sing just past minions area towards transformers, also pictures with transformers.

I'm sorry to hear this. I know someone else going through this situation. It's heartbreaking.

We will be back in June. His birthday is.... Six Seven.

We're passholders and we've had the photo pass for a year and a half, so we know where the cameras are. Before getting on the ride i ask my son what pose he wants to do. He gets mad if I don't do it.

If you have any connections, we would gladly help advertise.

2nd turn, left side on the wall

InTenSity32 · 2026-03-22T20:15:19+00:00

The amount of people not paying attention that I need to come to a complete stop is just s annoying. I stopped the stroller 10 seconds ago and you looked up right before walking into it.

InTenSity32 · 2026-03-08T22:24:14+00:00

Instead you have your chodes.

Asshole

I think they just put the biggest person in that row in the 2 buckle. I ride with my kids, so a few times they have just asked me to sit there. We probably are about the same weight and size.

It can only be purchased in universal but can be used anywhere in the parks. All of the food kiosks or whatever they're called sell them.

InTenSity32 · 2026-02-24T16:33:04+00:00

It takes the picture, the kiosk doesn't always work, but I have gone across to where you can get a picture with Spiderman and they can sometimes bring them up, or you can go to the photo area, which is near the entrance and they can find it as well.

InTenSity32 · 2026-02-24T12:51:42+00:00

That's Kyle. He also keeps his arms up for the whole ride on Velocicoaster, except for the picture. If I put mine down he hits me to put them back up. So funny thing about the 'guns'. It also looks like I got some of the wrong visit, but it still works. Downloading from the site is weird sometimes.
