How likely is it to get into Super Mario World without an early access pass on a weekday as of now?

As of December 2024, just wondering if I need to buy the early access pass to get into the Mario land or if I can do without it if I go to Universal Studios during a week day? Likely will be going on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. I’d like to see it and go on rides but I’d rather not pay an extra $20 if I don’t have to

Is the Coca Cola 2 Day General Admission worth it?

I’m planning to go to Universal Hollywood in a little over a week and saw these 2 day passes for just a few dollars more than a 1 day regular pass, so I was wondering are these just basic GA tickets? Is there anything special about them? Any restrictions? Idk it just seems to good to be true.

Is Universal Studios Hollywood or Disneyland busy on Thanksgiving day?

I am thinking of taking my kid since it’s only her and I, we have no family here, and I’m planning on either taking her tomorrow to Hollywood studios but I keep stressing whether it will be busy or not. I’m also thinking if we don’t go then maybe we can go on the 24-25 either Disneyland or Hollywood.

Gold Membership Parking Question

I'm getting Universal Studios Hollywood passes for my daughter and myself. I'm confused about how parking works with the gold pass. Do I get free parking as long as I get to Universal before 6:00 pm??

Thanks!!

Wicked: The Musical made its L.A. debut in 2005, opening at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre on June 17, 2005, as part of its first U.S. national tour. A banner was displayed on the Jurassic Park: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood to promote the production.

Hollywood universal studio - what to combine with passes?

I'm looking at universal Express pass and for my dates it's cost is $319. It's a peak holiday time. Do you have any suggestions on combining the park entry with any stay to save on costs or any other recommendations?

You think the Guardians of Childhood from Rise of the Guardians would make great meet and greet characters at the parks?

Especially since Universal owns the rights to all DreamWorks characters including them? It would be a nice alternative to Grinchmas and for the Christmas season.

Going to Universal Studios Hollywood on first week of December.

Hello,

We are planning to visit Universal Studios Hollywood on Tuesday, December 3rd, and I was wondering if it is worth getting the Express Pass. We will be spending one full day at the park, and the operating hours that day are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Can I purchase the Express Pass after entering the park? If so, will the price be higher?

Thank you for your help 🙏🏻

Booking options - Grand Helios

I booked a stay at Helios 10/15-10/19/25. My current understanding is that I will be able to book at 2-day park option with one additional day to use at Epic. It is not worth staying at Helios every night, given that there is no express benefit and only early park entry. Should I rebook my hotel for 3 nights at another Deluxe resort with an express pass and one night at Helios (for the experience)? I'm not anticipating that any other park passes will be available by this time next year. Does Universal transfer luggage between hotels like Disney?

Is Universal Orlando queer friendly line Disney?

I am a nonbinary trans femme person, 23 yo. I’ve been to Florida many times, came out before my last trip to Tampa to see my buddy, though I want to do Universal next time I’m down. Is Universal safe for queer people like Disney in LBV is? Just a question, thanks in advance.

USJ - Vio travel

Anyone had issues with this? I was given a QR code that doesn’t work. Agency insists it starts at 9:30 but everyone here is telling me “this is not a correct QR code call agency” and I’m wondering if we got scammed or something?
