Nice! As long as it comes with Express Pass and I can get a theme park view I’ll be happy.
It will still work out cheaper than a Disney trip.

I think we see express about the time bookings drop off so years
You think it won’t come with express pass?
It’s kinda what the Universal Deluxes are known for.
I think it will come with Express and Early park entry.
Universal would be smart to draw a very clear picture of what a great value it is when compared to Disney.

There may be hours but I doubt it will be with express
Not surprising. Millions of visitors fly into MCO and not much of a peep about Epic there. Epic may be a day excursion if that for us.
City Walk Orlando curfew on no one under 18 on weekend nights unless with restriction policies to follow due to the local riff raff that caused problems there. Don't recall Springs has the same policy.
So much excitement and not much of peep PR at MCO or local and national news media ? Lol.
Not familiar with the Orlando CityWalk but I grew up near the Hollywood CityWalk and they’ve had a curfew policy since at least the 90s when I was a teen — I don’t think it was “riff raff” or crime so much as the fact that teens didn’t have much money to blow on shopping and dining and drinking and just generally crowded the common areas making it less pleasant for the target demo they want to show up and spend money. I suppose having hundreds of non-customers loitering also makes it harder to identify the actual criminal element (especially pickpockets) trying to blend in the crowd.

Too soon for national news, and Universal has plenty of online traction, e.g. with its promo releases garnering millions of views.
I expect they’ll need very little advertising to ensure heavy crowds in 2025. Why waste money on MCO airport ads at this point?
We’re already planning three days there in spring 2026.
Fight and shooting scare made UNI city walk enact curfew in 22'.
Keeping the locals out seems to be also in airports ( ie EWR) in MCO most dining is in main terminal but in EWR ( Newark NJ ) all dining except a few donut and Starbucks is inside A,B,C after you clear TSA.

You are overthinking it.... EWR was designed for crap.
EWR food options are superior to the poor options and quality of MCO. The billion dollar Terminal A at EWR when I passed through was incredible.

56% isn't bad over 10 years.
McDonald's president hits back at claims Big Mac prices are too high amid inflation
McDonald’s USA president Joe Erlinger said that there while $18 Big Macs are out there, they are the exception to McDonald's pricing, not the rule.
www.usatoday.com
A recent report by USA Today used survey information compiled by a team of reporters in 18 markets across the country to compare prices over the past 10 years. The survey found that an average medium Big Mac meal has risen in price from $5.69 in 2014 to $9.72 in 2024, an increase of about 70%. The price of a medium Big Mac meal ranged in price from $7.89 in Houston to $15 in Seattle.

Only about twice what it should be.

To be fair, I think Disney gets sky high demands regarding what its output is supposed to be. Ever expanding offerings plus ever better employee compensation plus globally and environmentally conscious programs. All those things cost money.
I’d want to know exactly where their profits have gone before judging. If randos on Wall Street are pocketing them to buy a bigger yacht, that’s one thing. If they switched to humanely sourced meat, better employee health insurance, and eco conscious construction, that’s another.

I wouldn’t be surprised if EU in general doesn’t have Express (while the other parks still do) at opening. I guess we’ll see
