    UOR Files Permits For New Hotel

    In the Orlando area this is very normal, almost above average starting wage for hospitality jobs.

    Forbidden Journey looking shabby

    I can actually ride it without feeling as sick. The "toned down" version really only removes a couple of the movements, but for me that make all the difference. I have actually been able to ride without the need to close my eyes for half the ride. FJ is the only ride in Orlando that made me feel...

    Baby swap policy change?

    The policy hasn't changed a bit. At UO it has always been that everyone waits in the line together, when reaching the attraction someone and the child go to a waiting room and then gets to switch when the 1st rider returns. If you did it a different way you were doing that on your own. This is a...

    The Universal Dining Plan

    It seems quite a few of you don't realize the old "All you can eat"/limited restaurant plan was done away with quite some time ago. The only current in park option is this: https://www.universalorlando.com/Restaurants/Universal-Dining-Plan-Quick-Service.aspx The newer plan that includes table...

    Splitsville Blog Meet-Up

    Howdy folks, I just wanted to jump in here briefly. I personally know most of these very nice people in real life, but I'm not here to talk about that... My wife got into this event, I'm excited and looking forward to it. She got in at random, by being quick to respond to a blog post. To get...

    TWWoHP VIP tours coming anytime soon?

    Won't happen. Ask a team member how they do the Christopher Walken effect in Disaster, how Spiderman works, the speed of the water vortex in Poseidon or to see the production soundstages. All of those things can be done. However, the talking portraits are just talking portraits and Hermione...

    Orlando Universal Tickets in California

    I 100% guarantee you the Hollywood and Florida tickets are not interchangeable. If you bring the wrong, unused ticket to the park the only option given is to refund it and purchase the ticket for where you are. A used ticket can not be refunded at all. Also, as mentioned earlier the tickets...

    Both IOA and Universal Studios in one day?

    It really depends on if you plan to skip some of most of the more lengthy shows and attractions like T2:3D, Horror Make Up, Shrek, Disaster, Sinbad, Poseidon, Beetlejuice, Animal Actors, Fear Factor.... Even with express Simpsons can take 20 minutes for the 2 pre shows and the actual ride. It's...

    Youngin' at Universal - Is It Worth It?

    48" tall is a key height, so at 4ft tall the only rides someone can not ride between both parks are Rockit, Dr. Doom, Hulk & Dragons. Mummy & Journey are 48" and everything else is shorter.

    Feedback on new style

    Same, and it says I am using dimmed. Nothing changed. Still just bright white and harsh.

    Universal Raises 1-Day Ticket to $88

    "How come my friend paid $75 to ride Space Mountain but I have to pay $88? What happened to make the ride $13 better this week?" Between that and over complicating things, I'm sure.

    Express Pass price

    Just remember, that's the attraction 95% of the guests at IoA want to do the most and onsite hotel guests are let in an hour earlier than regular day guests specifically so they can get to Forbidden Journey first. If you are going at that peak of a time, expect more than an hour wait by regular...

    Meal Deal at Universal

    Still just 3 places in each park. Includes Burgers, chicken, salads, pasta, pizza. Nothing fancy, but if that food works for you, you can eat all day for one price.

    Express Pass price

    Are you planning on going during one of the busiest times of the year? It only gets that expensive based on demand, typically the 2 park express averages $30-$50 unless you visit during a peak time. Also, as others mentioned, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey doesn't have an express...

    One Week Park Pass?

    Cheaper than $38.75 per day? Probably if you buy more days, but considering it's like $120 for 1 day, $38.75 each day for 4 days sounds like a great deal. WDW does the same thing, the more days you buy, the cheaper each day is. It encourages you to spend more time in the parks (and why...

    Lots of 70's classic rock. The loop is still currently playing behind the construction walls.
