Are there retailers that sell discounted Universal gift cards like Sam's or Costco does with Disney gift cards?

1st trip since 2019 (2nd ever) coming up. Last time we used lanyards to hold tickets/EP. I have e-tickets from Undercover Tourist for this trip. What are my options that don't involve my phone? Can I get the card sized tickets once we get there?

About 12 hours until we leave NC for a 8-9 he drive to Aventura tomorrow and then 5 days in the parks. Just a dad and DS13. Haven't been to Epic yet and he hasn't done Volcano Bay yet.

Drive took 9.75 hours. I95 sucked. I usually leave in the middle of the night but opted to come down a day early instead. Eating at Vivo and then going to shop in City Walk before prepping for tomorrow. He isn't into wands, thankfully.

Never been to vivo as we always go to mama Della's. Would love to hear a review

Hi friends! First time going to UO (huge Disney fam). We are staying at Hard Rock, but were wondering if we can Uber to Helios for Epic early entry and enter through the Helios entrance?

I asked this in an earlier thread, and as I understand that guests are not allowed to go thru the Helios entrance if they're not a guest of the Helios

They check your room card as you enter security in the hotel. Didn't see anyone turned away but I'm pretty sure they wldnt let you thru if you weren't staying at Helios.

I was just reading that some mobile ticket orders are missing in the app. I checked my HHN tickets and I am missing some. If you have mobile tickets you may want to check.

Orlando Informer: Not going to go, but just curious about it. Is it worth it? That's a pretty hefty price tag!

I've gone a few times over the years. Always a lot of fun, but the prices have doubled since my first trip. It's definitely not a whole family trip for us anymore but awesome for special occasions (bday trip with my son; couples escape).

We have friends that go alllll the time. It works well for them because they can stay up late and she's a teacher so they're able to do all the rides they want in the two nights with not much time off. We wouldn't like just being in the parks at night but

I can see how some really like it. It's so expensive tho you could get a seasonal or power pass instead! They also like that the crowds are way less during these meetups.

Anyone else going to June 12th informer meetup? I'm planning to go solo that weekend. Friday meetup, Saturday volcano bay and Sunday disney 4 parks one day! I'm excited to get away from it all for the weekend!

What a fantastic plan. Now I'm really wanting to do a solo trip too!

I have done VB but I just enjoy the beach, not into the water slides.
8:29pm on 6/5/26 by
I did 4 parks in one Day with a friend once, just the highlights but better than having to choose!

We will have the unlimited express(staying at hard rock). Are the express lanes open during early entry?
3:53pm on 6/2/26 by
Yes
4:49pm on 6/2/26 by
Awesome thx!

I thought the answer was "sometimes." But I could be wrong.

Refurb dates for MIB. I thought I saw it posted somewhere the other day it would be down all of June. But on their page I still only see until the 16th. Anyone have any inside info?

Best ride in park imo

It's one of our favs too! Since DH finally got closer to maxing out points he's been allll about it.
7:06pm on 6/2/26 by
We love that ride! And SR is often a walk on. You can go over and over.

First time going to Universal with my teen daughter. She likes all the big rides. We have done disney but first time just me and her. Any guidance? No early entry or express pass. Have 4day park2park tickets

Good idea all on the AP. If that's doable it will also get you a huge discount on most merchandise and food purchases.
10:21am on 6/5/26 by
Seasonal and Power passes do not have any discounts on food and merchandise in the parks or city walk. You would have to go up to the preferred pass to start getting those discounts. Definitely worth doing the math especially if there is any......

Chance you would return within a year. Have fun
