Ha, you'll almost overlap with us; we're doing Universal 15th-17th and Disney on the 18th! The good news for you is, from what I've heard, the MLK surge ought to have died down significantly by that late in the week. Though I'd still expect weekend to be more than weekday, so if I were paying for line-skipping on only part of the trip, I'd make it the weekend days. And truth be told, yes, I'd probably want to spring for it rather than stand even reasonable amounts in line.So premiere is not in our budget this time, and since it is only the two of us, staying at a premiere will not cost less than getting a single park express pass each day for two days of our trip.
Some background:
When we went in June/July, four days was not enough. There were several reasons for that. We "wasted" our first day by going in on our travel day convinced we would have plenty more time. We did Gringotts, the wand ceremony, and walked around some, and that was it. Day two was a full day, and we accomplished a lot. Day three was the waterpark. Day four, we started early, did Hulk and Hagrids, had lunch, did the Mummy and Jurassic Park River Adventure, and then decided to go back and swim. I was already starting to feel off (but thought it was just the heat), and we decided to take advantage of the pool and have a full day the next day. Sadly, the next day, I tested positive, and that ended our trip abruptly. We never got to MIB, Velocicoaster, or any of the Dr. Seuss or Toons stuff.
We are planning to stay at Aventura this trip so we can take advantage of the boats next door. Last trip we split between RPR and SFR. We are looking at 1/18-22.
Thanks so much for the information!Ok here to report back!!
I still think 2 days express 1st and last is the way to go. You’ll be able to do everything multiple times with little to no waits. Then on the other two days you can do Velocicoster and Hagrids.
However, all that said I loved the non private VIP. It was really worth the cost on a short trip. They say you ride 10 rides, we did 12 and would have had 13 but MIB went down. Breakfast and lunch is included you skip the lines and it’s not express pass you go through exits and in back ways. We did hagrids and Velocicoster skipping the waits. Then your pass is an express pass the rest of the day. Our guide was amazing, we had a fabulous group of people could not have asked for a better day.
How much was this?Ok here to report back!!
