Tom’s summary is best. Not only is the pricing test aggressive, the attraction choices are egregious.

Maybe Ministry and Hagrids warrant this top end. Nothing else.

I hate paying to ride (or beat the line) when my admission covers it, but each to their own

I didn’t want to start a new thread and this seems like the closest choice…

We are considering purchasing the regular Express Pass (not unlimited) for a 4 day visit at Uni in 2026 but for the entire trip. Would we be restricted to 1 ride on any particular attraction during the entire duration? Or is it a limit of 1 ride a day? Like if we visit IoA all four days (we will get hoppers), could we use it four times total/once each day to ride say Hagrids?

Our thought would be to do 2 days at the old two parks hopping so if we could do all the rides we want once each on those days it would be great (and then wait in line for whatever). And then do 2 days at Epic which gives us a shot to repeat stuff since it’s all new to us.

One per day, not one per visit. Your plan works.

Thanks! That's what I thought but the wording on the official Universal website is vague about this.

Just an FYI in case you weren't aware as well, if you stay at the Hard Rock, Portofino, or Royal Pacific hotels you get Express Unlimited for IOA and USF included. Might be worth doing the math out vs wherever you are staying as I imagine 4 days of express hoppers would be quite expensive.

That’s what we’ve done in the past but there’s only two of us and I think we are going to stay at Cabana Bay where the price for 5 nights total is around the same price at one night at Royal Pacific (the cheapest of the three with Express Pass). And then also the hotel Express pass doesn’t include Epic.

I did 1 day of Express at Epic over my 2 days, it was worth the splurge and that was even before Battle of the Ministry and DK were included. Now it's a no-brainer.
