is it best to get you tickets on the day or off the web in England before you travel.

Since you are from England I would buy the 2 park bonus ticket that they offer for UK residents which is good for 14 days and is only available online from Universal Orlando's website and wait to get the Express Pass until you get there as you may decide to not get it. I know it is busy in early August and you may decide that you only want it for one of the parks only. The express pass is different prices depending on the time of the year and what type of Express Pass you want.

The 2 park bonus ticket on their site for people from the UK is $119.95 and is good for up to 14 days, if you wait to get the same 2 park pass at the park it will cost more and only be good for 2 days. So buy online from their site.

Here is that link. http://www.universalorlando.com/uk/tickets.html

Honestly, I don't know that you NEED the fast passes at universal.. rode Bilge Rat Barges 4 times in a row without getting off 2 days ago .... that was at closing.. I never saw a wait time above 20 minutes the whole time we were out there.. na dmost of the '20 min' waits were walk ons anyhow..

I would just stay at one of the onsite resorts.

They're all very nice, have great dining options and the unlimited ExpressPass is included.
