I would say definitely after. My friend and I did it the other way (2 days at Universal and then 4 days at Disney) on our last big trip in November and it was very difficult to go from the "we can do anything we want to" at Universal to the "we must be to this ride within this hour and at this...

Yes, you can book the SuperStar Shuttle with a room-only reservation. I did it back in February. (I have an annual pass so I wasn't purchasing a package). HOWEVER, I would HIGHLY discourage people from this shuttle. My friend and I were planning a quick, cheap Universal-only trip. My friend was...

I pack all of my "crushable" snacks in a shoebox when traveling. Then if I buy any fragile items, they go in the shoebox for the trip home. But if I don't (like on my last trip), I have no problem leaving the box behind.

At first, I thought that this was another Disney money grab - just like the proposed resort fee (a blatant money grab) and the premier parking (which people wouldn't find necessary if the transportation worked well on a consistent basis). But now that I've seen the details, I have to say that I...

I have a strange question that I can't find an answer to - does Universal have an bicoastal passes? I have a power pass for Orlando, but I am considering a trip to California next winter and might be interested in upgrading if it were available and made sense.

Congrats on your trip over to the dark side! I just got back from my first "Universal only" trip and my third trip since October 2014 so I will try to help where I can. First thing to keep in mind is that this is not Disney. The meticulous planning is not as necessary. You will be fine with a...

For a serious HP fan, I think you're under-estimating at 1.5 days. My best friend and I are serious HP fans. The first time we went to Universal, we only did one day and we spent is almost exclusively at HP. We literally did 3 rides outside of that. The next time, we did two days and got to see...

I did an almost identical trip to yours last week. Through my travel agent at Kingdom Konsultants, I was able to book transportation from the airport to Universal and then Universal to Disney with Quick Transportation. From Disney, we took the Magical Express back to the airport. I kept going...

Due to a bunch of unexpected roadblocks, I feel like I am seriously behind on making final decisions and ordering a cake for my upcoming vacation (11/10-11/13). I am staying at the Wilderness Lodge. The cake is for my 40th birthday, which I am celebrating early due to my work schedule. But I...

Wonderful! :banghead: One more question - is there anything that happens that might effect the park pre-opening? We currently have 2 pre-opening reservations for BOG (one for Wednesday and one for Friday, although we may cancel the Friday one) and one of my "must-haves" for this trip is to take...

Originally, I was thinking about trying to rent some points for the Villas, but I'm pretty glad that I didn't. I'll try to take some pictures while we're there and post them. I know a lot can change in a month, but it should give you some idea of what the impact is.

Was this the schedule for every day of the taping? Our plan was to watch the parade on our departure day (Friday), but I'm wondering if I need to rearrange things.

As the original poster, I want to thank everyone that commented. I wound up keeping the courtyard view room because I thought it was worth the piece of mind, knowing that the construction would have minimal impact on the view. Now that I am 27 days out, I'm trying to decide what (if any)...

Color me NOT happy. We are going to be at MK on the 11-13th and really don't want to deal with the additional crowds. The whole point of our timing was to avoid the craziness. Thanks, Disney!

Is there any particular reason why you are ordering them on-line? I was able to go to my local Target store and buy $850 (8-$100 and 1-$50) at one time. The only thing that I've found is that you need to show your ID for anything over $200.

Are the photographers available during the Christmas party? Also, we have a pre-opening breakfast reservation at Be Our Guest. Does anyone know if they are out to take photos on Main Street before the park opens?

If you are mostly planning on just doing Harry Potter, the Express Pass won't do you much good as there is no Express Pass within the HP lands.

I drove from Buffalo, NY to Jacksonville, FL this past spring and we stayed overnight just outside of Charlotte, NC. The first day was long (around 9 hours), but we were on a "we're going on vacation" high that made it manageable.

So I currently have a Courtyard view room booked for the Wilderness Lodge in mid-November for 3 nights. At the time, I booked that was the only thing available so I took it. Now, however, I see that a Standard room has become available that would save me around $100 (total). This is our first...

Thanks! The current plan is to be at the MK for breakfast on our check-out morning, but will probably wind up playing the rest of the day "by ear" anyway. But it's good to know that it might be possible.
