I'm super picky about keyboards, so keep that in mind when I say that the Dell keyboards are the WORST.

@Cogswel_Cogs: If you can afford it, purchase your own keyboard, one you choose, and your own mouse. Keep them locked in your desk or locker or wherever when you're not there. This is what I'd do, since no way would I be spending hours typing on a lousy Dell keyboard.

If everything worked out perfectly--if your flight was on time and you were able to deplane quickly, if you got your bags relatively quickly, if you got the car relatively quickly, and if there were little to no traffic, and if you didn't get lost--then perhaps this could work out. In other...

OP, You are going to be there in the broiling heat of August, so I think the thing you'd miss the most is Genie+, since standing in outdoor lines will be excruciatingly difficult unless you love standing on a hot pavement with very little shade in 95+-degree direct sunlight. Even with...

I'd keep stalking the AP availability calendar since things do change. It's possible you'll be able to snag a park reservation for DHS that way.

Yes, thanks. That does work. We're going in December, so I'll keep looking, but right now we're paying a rate for December that seems to be similar to the discount rate for September, and I doubt that the December rates will be lower.

Thanks so much for this. I clicked on the link in your post and the hotel rates just say "Seasonal Rate." There's no message in red saying the AP rate isn't available.

Yes, I understand. I don't expect to be able to use an AP discount on our upcoming December trip. It's just info for the future.

Thanks! I've been reading the Universal site AP descriptions, but I have a question and maybe you can answer it. If I opted for the lowest-price pass (the Seasonal Pass), which doesn't seem to include early park admission, wouldn't I still get that if I stayed at a Universal hotel property no...

@mum2simon: Please check out Vegan Disney World for lots of into but be careful when reading the articles there, since some of them are not recent. Here are some not-at-all-spicy vegan foods that I regularly eat at WDW. And that I believe are still available, since I was just there last month...

Thank you so much! I've done this at WDW but never at Universal . . . but I'm really hoping we're going to love it there and if we do, we will for sure upgrade.

We're going to Universal for the first time in December and if we end up loving it (I hope so!), can we upgrade our 2-day park-to-park tickets purchased through UCT to APs? And, if so, how can we do this? We would of course have to actually go to the parks before we decided if we wanted to...

They probably haven't changed the wording since they changed the park reservation requirement.

But I believe park reservations are no longer required for anyone with a date-based ticket, right? So this part of the info is outdated.

I have stayed at both WL and Swan and in terms of atmosphere, there's no contest. WL wins. My feeling about the Swan was that it was like being in a nice hotel in Anywhere, USA. Even though it's right there on the Boardwalk, I felt outside the Disney bubble, which I love being in. The Swan is a...

Part of this depends on what gate your plane arrives at. I was at the very farthest gate my first trip after Terminal C opened and not only did it take me a long time to get to the baggage claim, but the baggage didn't arrive until an hour after the plane landed. That, fortunately, is no longer...

We are near the path in upstate NY (our location will get 98% totality) and there were no eclipse glasses here yesterday that we could find. Even the employees at Home Depot were surprised that none were left. The library was also out. So I ordered them online. OP, if you find them, get them...

You're very welcome. I'm glad your mom has a scooter for the parks. I did a little bit (not a whole lot!) of searching and cannot come up with how one reserves the transportation inside Terminal C. But I see people all the time on these blue vehicles that hold maybe 8 people + luggage, so...

@MotherKnowsBest--If you're still having trouble and you wouldn't mind, I'd be happy to look for you. You could DM me the info if you don't want to post it.
