How do I add times for the Force Use of Inputted Return Times within the app? I can do it on desktop, but I can't figure out how it works in the app.

2-fold question, what can you tell me about Royal Pacific? Staying 1st time. What cool queues would be missed with EP?
11:01am by
Hmm, I'm not sure where to begin. I can say this: YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN! :) RPR is a great hotel, stayed there on my honeymoon and a couple of other times. :) Not my favorite hotel for food or pool BUT UO ENCOURAGES pool hopping! :) And...
11:41am by
...the other hotels have great food options. :) There's definitely some cool queues you'll miss with your EP BUT tbh it's not a big deal. I'd MUCH rather have EP and skip the queues that are cool. :) Off the top of my head...
11:42am by
... the F&F queue is pretty cool (single rider anyway, we tried it not long ago). I think there are a few others. Oh, Mummy is a good one. :) Again though I wouldn't worry about this. EP is AWESOME!

If I am staying at an on-site hotel, do I still get early access the day of check-in? If so, do I have to physically check in?
11:51am on 3/11/26 by
We've checked in between 6 and 6:30 in order to be at front of RD. Twice our room was even ready!
1:18pm on 3/12/26 by
You can do online check in, but you still need the physical room key to enter the parks early.
9:07pm on 3/12/26 by
Does everyone need to be present to get the room keys? Can we send main person to check in? (2 adults, 2 kids) And does this differ between deluxe w/ EP and non-EP hotels?

Hi :) what time do they open the express line for Hagrids ? Do they open it during EE or do they wait until normal park opening times
8:48am by
Another one I'd like know too!
11:02am by
If we have express unlimited what time do you advise we actually be at the gates in the morning for UF and IOA? Been twice before but never had express & was always in line at least an hour before gate opening. What about Epic with no express?
10:30am by
Would like to know this too! Will be in same situation in about a week.

Stardust Racer closure now extended through April 5.
6:30pm on 3/11/26 by
I was so hopeful they would hold that March 15. Now I'll miss it. Really wanting to cancel but kids won't allow it
9:09pm on 3/12/26 by
I can't do it but I know my family will be disappointed if they extend it further into April.

@josephmatt (TP Universal blogger) just posted on the forum: "The stardust closure is due to failing an inspection and having issues getting replacement parts."

UOQOTD: You have to spend the night in one area or in part of one ride or wherever, in Universal Studios. You will have a sleeping bag! Where do you pick? STUDIOS, not IoA and not a hotel! LOL! I'm picking somewhere in ET!

Hey the Knight Bus is perfect as it has beds
7:01pm on 3/13/26 by
I'm going with Knockturn Alley, but I probably wouldn't sleep a wink.

DH has always said they should rent the HP rooms/windows that overlook the park! I know it's not possible but would be so cool!
10:46pm on 3/13/26 by
UOQOTD: You have to spend the night in one area or in part of one ride or wherever, in Islands of Adventure. You will have a sleeping bag! Where do you pick? IoA, not Studios, and not a hotel! LOL! On this one I am picking Camp Jurassic at the top!
12:18pm on 3/12/26 by
I think if I could make it comfortable enough a Suess Trolley car so I can see the whole park! I love that view at night.
5:54pm on 3/13/26 by
I'm going with the Jurassic Park Discovery Center.
8:57pm on 3/13/26 by
Also, I love these questions! Bringing back some great memories of overnights at the Milwaukee Public Museum with my twins.

DK Mine Cart Madness is delayed. 7pm.

Back up

Hi, my first post on Universal side! Am I correct that you cannot purchase a 1 day, 3 park ticket that includes Epic? We were hoping to just do HP stuff this trip.
2:00pm on 3/12/26 by
I believe only passholder can get the 1 day at Epic. Otherwise it has to be a 3 day ticket
3:56pm on 3/12/26 by
Welcome! :) That would be a packed but fun day! HP only at all 3 parks!
9:35am on 3/13/26 by
Thank you both! I couldn't find a ticket that allowed for this, so we're just going to split it into 2 days.
