Thanks for the suggestions.
Unfortunately our hotel is set in stone. We paid my husband’s employer to add the nights on to the existing reservation so it would be a huge headache to change. We’re at the Loews Sapphire Falls which is universal related but does not include the express pass. I have access to discounted tickets though and I was hoping to see if I can addd express to those after I buy them.
Or we will deal without it. I’m patient
You can buy the Express Pass in the park. Sapphire Falls is just as close to the attractions at Universal and you get early admission, so it will be convenient.
