Why Buy the Universal Studios Express Plus Pass?

  On our last trip, we did not purchase the Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure Express Plus Pass. It does cost a bit more money for each person, but we know first hand what it felt like standing in the beautiful but hot Orlando Sun, only to watch with envy as the Express Plus Pass holders walked right up to each attraction. The Express Plus Pass allows you to avoid the lines at almost all the attractions in both parks, but there are a couple of exceptions. Anyone standing with small children, or older folks, or just those that do not feel well standing in the sun for long periods would do well to pay the additional money for the Express Plus Pass.
  These passes are only good for one time on each ride (ie; one ride on Twister, one ride on Disaster, etc.) but your regular ticket allows you to go as often as you like.  Unfortunately, you only get one express entrance per ride. As of this writing, you cannot use the Express Plus Pass on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Always check the current list when planning your purchase. Lastly, consider the weather and the time of year that you are visiting. During the busiest seasons and on days with very hot or very wet weather, the Express Plus Pass is a great idea!
  After standing on the longer lines, we would have been glad to pay more because we would have seen and done more, felt much better, and overall would have had more fun! Universal Express Plus Pass - It just makes sense!

The Best Advice That We Could Give You!

  Visiting Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando Florida certainly can become the time of your life! Families, people of all ages as well as just about anyone that loves to have fun will love a vacation to this great Orlando Attraction! We really like the rides that allow you to feel that you are a part of the movie, such as Jaws and E.T. These rides provide plenty of fun for all. The one thing that we found that is not fun is waiting in lines.
  To be honest, depending on what time of the year that you travel to Universal Studios in Orlando, the waiting times to get on the attractions can be quite long. This is the down side of any popular theme park, especially in the Orlando Sun!  Another thing that we felt is that they often "under-estimated" the actual waiting times to get on the ride. Some attractions that showed 40 minute wait times, such as Shrek 4D, actually took well over an hour to get in to see.
  The best advice that we would give anyone visiting Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure in Orlando would be to "Buy The Express Plus Passes" This is especially true now that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is open!
