What's with their early closing??

[MissM]

Yeah it's hard since I haven't been in so long and I've never seen the IoA park at all. I'd like to try to see both but jeez. There's just no way in that short of a time frame. I almost feel like it's going to be frustrating more then anything since we won't have the time to fully explore the parks and ride what we want. I mean, I'm a WDW pro; I know exactly how to manage my time and juggle my attractions so I see everything I want and more in a small amount of time. But...not going to have that option here. Kinda disappointing I guess.

so im guessing spending money for Express Plus is out of the question?

 

[kcnole]

I don't think they offer Express Plus anymore. I think the only way to get FotL access is by being a resort guest.

 

[Michael72688]

They still offer Express Plus, you just have to pay for it. The free Express Passes are gone

You're going for free... you don't want to wake up early. Sounds like a lot of whining to me.

Sounds like someone needs to remember the rule you learned in kindergarden: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

There's no reason to be rude, insultive or spoil the boards with that kind of pointless, negative attitude.

ah, how much extra is the express plus when purchased seperately?

 

[beyondthepalace]

ah, how much extra is the express plus when purchased seperately?

Between $15 and $50 depending on time of year and if you want to do only one park or both

ah, how much extra is the express plus when purchased seperately?

During times that it would be beneficial to actually have the pass, such as all of summer and the holidays, it can get pretty pricey (too pricey if you ask me).

During times when the lines are short enough that there is little need for it, such as the off-season, its affordable. However, during the dates that it is least expensive, the rides at IOA and USF can be walk-ons already, so be careful not to fall into the trap of paying for something you don't need.

Also buyer beware, its not mentioned on the webpage where you actually purchase the passes, but the pass will only let you use it ONE time for EACH attraction it is offered on.

FOR ONE day, ONE park pass it will cost:

$15.00 on the following dates:

5/1 - 5/4, 5/7 - 5/11, 5/14 - 5/17, 8/27 - 9/1, 9/4 - 9/8, 9/10 - 10/6, 10/9 - 10/12, 10/15 - 10/20, 10/22 - 11/19 and 11/26 - 12/16/2006

$20.00 on the following dates:

5/5, 5/12, 5/18, 5/22 - 5/25, 8/20 - 8/26, 9/2, 9/9, 10/7 - 10/8, 10/13 - 10/14, 10/21, 11/20 - 11/23, and 12/17 - 12/25/2006

$35.00 on the following dates:
5/6, 5/13, 5/19 - 5/21, 5/26 - 6/19, 6/21 - 6/23, 6/25, 8/6 - 8/19, 9/3, and 11/24 - 11/25/2006.

$40.00 on the following dates:
6/20, 6/24, 6/26 - 8/5, and 12/26 - 12/31/2006.

For a ONE day/TWO park pass it will cost:

$25.00 on the following dates:
5/1 - 5/4, 5/7 - 5/11, 5/14 - 5/17, 8/27 - 9/1, 9/4 - 9/8, 9/10 - 10/6, 10/9 - 10/12, 10/15 - 10/20, 10/22 - 11/19, and 11/26 - 12/16/2006

$35.00 on the following dates:
5/5, 5/12, 5/18, 5/22 - 5/25, 8/20 - 8/26, 9/2, 9/9, 10/7 - 10/8, 10/13 - 10/14, 10/21, 11/20 - 11/23, and 12/17 - 12/25/2006

$50.00 on the following dates:
5/6, 5/13, 5/19 - 5/21, 5/26 - 8/19, 9/3, 11/24 - 11/25 and 12/26 - 12/31/2006.

Visiting Universal/IoA next Fri May 26 for two nights for our son's 8th birthday. I have to admit that he is just like the kids on the Universal commericals ("if I have to hug one more Princess"):lol: .We do WDW 1 or 2x a month and do IoA/Universal 1x or 2x a year. Anyhow, we are staying at HARDROCK for the weekend and are excited :sohappy: . Even as super duper Disney Fans we are anticipating a great trip!

I wish the parks were open a bit later but as someone mentioned having the express pass will help and allot more time to enjoy City Walk or take a ride over to Wdw for a fireworks show.

Oh I'm the one with the pointless, negative attitude? Read your thread.. lol :wave:

Yes. Yes you are. The real shame is that you have a misguided belief that you're entitled to be rude which just sours everyone else's experience here. Try a little less hostility. You'll find it gets you much further in life.

Hey Miss M....:lookaroun Changing the subject...you going to MNSSHP this year. I know you lucked out last year and went. I remember. :wave:

You should try waking up early and not complaining so much. You'll find it gets you much further in life.

I definately want to go this year. Hopefully we will. We had the best time last year! It was so much fun and I highly recommend it to anyone. What's better then being in costume at Disney and getting free candy? :lol:
