I work at Universal and I didn’t catch if you mentioned it and I missed it or not, but SOMETIMES one can purchase an “after 400pm express”. If not sold out, it also and and mainly has to do with how late the park will be open if it’s offered or not. If purchased, it’s always going to be similar to the standard express (one time use at each ride/show that takes it) and it will only be for one park, not two. Another tip if one is on the fence about buying it, is to wait until there to buy it to see what the crowds are like for you. However, if it’s a time like a weekend, summer, holiday season etc it’s a given that it will be VERY beneficial…and as they said, the more beneficial means more ppl buy it which means it will be more expensive.

@ThePughTwo 2 года назад

We totally forgot that that was a thing! Honestly we aren’t extremely familiar with it cause it seems like the only way we had heard about it was a comment on our previous express video! Thank you much for the tip and the heads up! Also thank you for being part of what makes the parks so incredible!

Hey Guys, we're coming from the UK in April but staying at Disney. We always find trying to do Universal in 1 day crazy and exhausting so we want to do 2 days this year, I was shocked at the price of the Express passes this time (we were last there in 2018)! So I've now booked us a room for one night and saved an unbelievable $1500!! I don't think we get them until check in on day 1 but Universal Studios is open till 10pm, plus early entry the next morning! Thank you so much.

Thanks! I had no idea buying express pass separately costs that much. We've been to Universal 3 times, we stayed at Portofino everytime so we got unlimited express. That completely ruins how we do theme parks. I don't think we can ever go without it. It allows us to hit the park first thing in the morning and leave by 3 to have a late lunch and then pool or false asleep. However the hotel prices have gone up a ton.

We will be in Universal for a wedding this thanksgiving week. The wedding is taking place on Sunday, but we will be hitting the parks on Monday and Tuesday and want to purchase express passes but aren't sure if they are worth the price per person, especially if all the rides aren't included. If my parents are staying at one of the premier hotels on Saturday and Sunday night (switching hotels for Monday and Tuesday due to cheaper costs), would they still have access to the unlimited express passes that come with that stay to use the Monday and Tuesday we will be in the parks? Or do the express passes only work for the actual days/nights they stay in the hotel?

@ThePughTwo Год назад

It sounds like your parents are checking out on Monday morning. If that's the case, they'll have express on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but not on Tuesday. You can add up to 4 adults on a standard room, so you could get express for 4 people with that one hotel room!

By the way I’m staying aventura, did the math the package I did was a lot cheaper than staying in the premiere hotels (though I absolutely love them) so just wondering whether or not the fast pass at this time of year is worth the price? Dates I’m there are january 16-20. Is MLK day gonna make things busier?

@ThePughTwo 2 года назад

At this point, we would probably recommend waiting until you get to the parks to see if you want express or not. After that Monday, the parks should be pretty slow. The weekend of MLK day and that Monday are projected to be "moderate" crowds, so things won't be a walk on but it should be manageable. We don't think Mummy being closed will do anything crazy to the wait times, but you never know!

This might be a dumb question, but if we purchased the 2 park unlimited express pass, do we only pay once or per day? And does the unlimited last for one day or the whole time you stay there?

@ThePughTwo Год назад

If you purchase express outright it’s on a per-day basis so you’d have to pay that price every day of your trip. There are some multi day tickets that say something along the lines of “2 day park to park ticket with unlimited express” that would include express for both days.

@aaronrumph3291 2 года назад

Honestly the express pass isn't really worth it if you plan to visit regularly, since they don't help with Velocicoaster and Hagrid, its more of a thing for those that rarely visit to be able to get multiple rides quickly on all the other rides. How I would use it is to get there an hour early with your hotel key quickly get a ride on Hagrid and velocicoaster (maybe 2 rides on Velocicoaster), then as it gets to 9 start just express passing all the rides until 5pm where you get your final rides on Velocicoaster and Hagrid (if it hasn't been delayed of course). With the express pass between 9-5 you should be able to get at least 2 rides on every attraction with express or 3 to 4 times if there are multiple rides you only wanted to experience once. With the main ride killing time being the Hogwarts Express between parks as even with express it will be a 40 minute wait

@ThePughTwo 2 года назад

It really just depends! If we were locals, we would 100% have the premier annual pass and would take advantage of that after 4 express. That’s a pretty good plan for having express passes, though! It’s funny, we’ve always found that when we try to have a set plan like that it always falls through. Universal definitely needs to do something for the train, though. That line can get crazy and they merge express way too early in King’s Cross!

If I am staying for only one night in a universal premier hotel, for which day do I get the express passes? For the day I check in or the day I check out? Can I choose? Because ideally, I would like to check in for the night then go to the park the next day (day of check-out). If that is possible, would they store our luggage for us while we are at the park? Sorry I am so confused about how that would work!

You get it for both! One night at a premier hotel gets you TWO days of unlimited express. And yes, you can leave your bags with luggage services in the hotel lobby.

@@ThePughTwo how does it work on the check-in day? Does the express pass start since the early morning or only after you have checked in ( say… at 2:00pm) ?

@nathantbrown28 Год назад

Hey often do express passes sell out? And how far in advance should you buy them

@ThePughTwo Год назад

On super busy days like holidays or during spread break, etc. it happens pretty frequently! As soon as you know you’re going, and have decided on express, buy them asap! As more sell, the price goes up accordingly until they sell out.

@ckmknight88 Год назад

Has anyone tried to ride every ride in both parks in one day using Express Pass? My family is going later this year and we only have 1 day for both parks and there are about 8 rides we cannot miss and 3 or 4 more that we would like to ride if we have time. Just trying to figure out if this is realistic with the express pass. Thanks in advance!

@ThePughTwo Год назад

If you get there early in the morning and you're willing to hustle a little, it really shouldn't be an issue! There's always a chance that a ride is delayed for weather or mechanical issues, but aside from that, you should have time! Wear comfy shoes, it's gonna be a long day! lol

@lashaysmith7783 2 года назад

LOL I feel bad for saying it, but I can't stand waiting in line at theme parks (especially in Florida because its so hot). I always, always budget for express passes. I try to teach my daughter about having patience but I found out that I don't technically have any either in the parks. LOL I just can't wrap my mind around waiting an hour + for a ride that only last a few minutes. That probably sounds terrible but its the whole truth lol. Express = Less Stress!!!!

@ThePughTwo 2 года назад

Haha we're the same! I think once you go to the parks with express it's just a total game changer. Then, on your following trips you're just used to everything being a walk on and can't fathom waiting. We're absolutely the same way, if we don't have express, we really don't ride much in the parks. We've learned, though, it's less the waiting in line and more the standing in a stagnant line that drives us crazy. Rides like velocicoaster aren't as bad because you're constantly moving!

It just depends how long you’re willing to wait in line if they’re worth it to you! Crowds definitely slow down in September!

@kristennemoede1864 6 месяцев назад

I think I understand but, before I booked I wanted to make sure. So when I purchase 4 of the unlimited express passes for my family, that's only for one day correct? So, if I wanted to have the express pass for all 4 of us at both of the parks on different days, you'd have to essentially purchase 8?

@ThePughTwo 6 месяцев назад

Correct!

@ThePughTwo 2 года назад

Unfortunately the express passes are on a daily basis and they get more expensive as people purchase them. We’ve heard that they do have a “ticket + express” bundle that can be a lot cheaper, so it might be worth calling Universal to look into that!

How do they know if the persons name is the actual person on the express card? Like I know they scan the express pass but then never check it against my pass or anything. After reading another comment saying they take my picture, I don't remember taking a picture for the pass and when I was looking at the screen when they scan it, I didn't see an image either.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

Hey there! So the first time the pass is used they take a picture using one of the cameras that is in the queue that way if the express pass is lost or if someone else tries to use it they can confiscate the pass! It’s not a formal thing where you know they have taken the picture!

It can be frustrating, but we understand why they do it. Hagrid’s and Velocicoaster are so popular they’d be overrun with people in the express line. People without express wouldn’t have a chance of riding it. They’ll get it eventually, though.

@ThePughTwo Год назад

The beginning of march will likely be pretty busy, but no, express is never necessary. Also, there are two attractions in islands of adventure that currently don’t offer express (Velocicoaster and Hagrid’s) so I would say it’s probably better for Studios!
