    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    This park is going to be amazing. Universal is certainly taking the theme park competition seriously. I am torn between Nintendoland and the Classic Monsters being the lands that I am most excited about, but I think the nod goes to monsters for me. Although this will never happen, I would...

    No idea what I'm doing.....

    Agree with everyone above - great advice. Use opentable to book reservations on same day except for Toothsome's Chocolate Emporium and Mythos. I would book in advance with a party of 7. I have never stayed onsite but your hotel offers priority seating at all Universal restaurants if booked...

    EPCOT What's next for Epcot 2024 and Beyond

    Wishful thinking here. The local amusement park where I live created a "lost" land that resurrected a few old attractions that were removed or were scheduled to be removed (however they also added new attractions so perhaps it should be properly renamed Lost and Found). I think this would be a...

    Disney fan looking for a PRIMARY Universal Trip!

    We use the Mears walk up kiosk at the airport. Travel with a party of 6 and lots of luggage and they will ensure the appropriately sized vehicle is available within minutes (typically a van). It is a cheaper option unless you need to ride in a luxury tank lol. Would be even cheaper when...

    What will Disney announce for Disney World at the 2022 D23 expo?

    I realize I am late to the Galaxy's Edge and Rise of the Resistance discussion, however, here is my two cents on why the land is both a success and disappointment at the same time. Please note that this is my opinion as a long time Star Wars and WDW Fan who has been disappointed by both in...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Like the idea. Since you brought up moving rides to EPCOT and the park is "evolving" (losing its core identity), I would really like to see one of the new districts (or future expansion) be dedicated to "lost" Disney. Bring back a few historical rides/pavilions that were crowd favorites and...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    You nailed the value proposition points that I did not expand upon. Couldn't agree more.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    If I were Universal, I would refurb Marvel land and beat WDW at their own game/branding. Marvel deserves Harry Potter type theming. It may potentially sell just as many tickets as Star Wars and Harry Potter. Theming could be centered around being a part of a comic book story and needs to...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Seems that some here share the same opinion that WDW has of Universal and even Sea World. Failing to recognize competitors as competition. Universal has seen extreme growth and is evolving from a 1 to 2 day park(s) experience to a full blown vacation resort. It started by "stealing" a day or...

    Better Strategy Genie+ vs Individual Lightening Lane

    ILL for sure. As I suggested in another thread, utilize the Touring Plans app. It provides expected wait times and will allow you to maximize your day. For example, we visited HS last December and waited in the stand by line for MMRR at 4 PM (high crowds). Posted wait was 60 min but the app...

    Touring plan crowd calendar

    I will add to use the Touring Plans app for expected wait times (or the site for creating your plan). We do not like to have every minute of our day planned in advance but utilize the app at times to determine which general direction/area to explore next. It is amazing how accurate the...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Thank you I was refreshing constantly instead of allowing the join queue button to go live

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    So when I select join queue, I do not have to refresh the next screen? I thought I had to constantly refresh that screen. Is the process to refresh the app, hit join 5 seconds before 7 AM and wait for the next screen to activate and allow me to select join a queue? Or do I have to refresh...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    They've made several questionable decisions unfortunately with that IP and the parks recently and going forward... Unfortunately, it seems that many of the folks involved in entertainment (movies, games, parks etc.) these days don't seem to be die hard fans of the source material. Otherwise...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Every time I try a practice run my app gives an error message (dreaded oops something went wrong with your request) when trying to refresh or forces me to log in via face recognition. I have no faith that I will ever secure a boarding group when we visit later this year. Dropping big $ and not...
