What could be more important than reduced price Star Wars crap? Hope storm went okay for you over there. On our side it was like this...

Not to be THAT GUY, but it's four years. ;^) Appreciate the kind words. Here's a Derek Doodle for ya.

I've stayed Club Level at the RPR several times and am a big fan. If you have kids there is a large area at one end of the room where they can hang out, play, watch TV with leather chairs built for children. There's two computers with internet access. I always found the amount of food to be huge...

The Orchid Lounge has a Breakfast Cafe that is open M-F 6AM-11AM and Sat/Sun from 6AM-Noon. You can get the breakfast menu here: http://touringplans.com/universal-orlando/dining/orchid-court-lounge They also have one of those "make your own pancakes" for kids that involves pressing a button and...

Self-parking is $16 till 6PM. $5 from 6PM to 10PM. Free after 10PM. Florida residents are free after 6PM. Preferred parking is $22.

The Premier Pass has some interesting perks (Express Pass access after 4PM, free preferred parking, HHN ticket) but I've never even considered upgrading from my Preferred Pass. The Preferred Pass still a reasonable price and gets you free self-parking and discounts on food/merch/hotels. My...

Rode it last week for the first time and I don't think it was using Express Pass. Not that it needed it either because even though the crowds were there for the park the line for the Twirl 'n' Hurl were always small. I absolutely LOVED this ride. Tons of great jokes throughout the queue and...

There are DeLorean BTTF toys available in a couple of the USF gift shops as well.

Have to agree. Always want to try new stuff but I find myself back at Sabotage more often than not. Was excited to get the secret playlist to work a month ago. My problem at first was like a previous poster, I was holding down the button, but not letting go. Once I got it to work I went with...

What about a Tangled-style elaborate bathroom? ;) http://www.orlandoinformer.com/2013/rumor-round-up-for-may-24-universal-orlando-walt-disney-world/

Have been looking forward to LeFou's Brew since I heard about Red's Apple Freeze when Cars Land opened. Finally got one last week. Possibly the most awful drink I have ever tasted. Made the Doofenslurp I got the day before at EPCOT seem ok, and think about what that's saying. In order of my...

I went on Thursday and the arm was off. Friday morning the arm was on.

Another thing I'll do is take one of the large merchandise bags you get at the parks (or CityWalk/Downtown Disney) and fill it up with a whole bunch of ice (from an ice machine on each floor). I'll put that bag near the bathroom and keep water bottles/soda etc in it. Those bags are pretty thick...

No fridge. Just a mini bar. You can always empty the mini bar and put your stuff in, just make sure you put everything back. I believe you can rent a fridge from the resort for $15-20 a day.

I took part in doing this late last year and did a write up on the entire experience: http://www.orlandoinformer.com/2012/delancey-street-preview-center-universal-orlando-review/ We saw the show "Defiance", which starts on SyFy April 15th and is highly recommended if you like shows like...
