I know Tribe had a bunch of tips on here for Universal Orlando...I meant to bookmark them and didn't. But planned an impulse trip for two weeks from now.
Getting in the afternoon of 5/30, leaving the afternoon of 6/1. Two nights in the Portofino Bay. $229/night with the pass holder discount, so will be buying one annual pass (Power Pass from AAA) and 4 3-day park-hopper tickets (2 day plus 1 free from undercover tourist). Annual pass was only like $40 more than a ticket, so worth it to save a couple hundred on an on-site motel with the ride passes. At my age I've got very little patience for waiting in lines.
That's about all I've got though. Planning on having a late afternoon/evening at the parks on Monday, all day Tuesday, morning on Wednesday if there's anything we want to finish up or catch again.
One specific question...looks like I could save about $30 x 4 if instead of getting the 3 day park hopper, I got 4 day base tickets. Wondering given my schedule how big a drag it would be to be limited to one park per day, so like Universal Monday afternoon/evening, IOA Tuesday, Universal again Wednesday morning. $120 isn't a deal breaker, but it's worth saving/spending elsewhere if bouncing park to park isn't that big a deal. Kind of inclined just get the park hoppers just for ultimate flexibility.
Otherwise, what tips do you have...I remember stuff about the Harry Potter drinks and the Simpsons beer, etc. Anything to save a couple bucks here or there is good, but anything in general for max enjoyability. It's been maybe 8 years since I've been there.
Of course, open to suggestions other than from Tribe, but we all know they aren't as good...
