Did they take away the 1 day ticket for passholders? Having trouble navigating to buy. Anyone know? Or am I just a dummy

When I go through the passholder home page on the website (after logging into my account ) it shows me $152 on June 20th. Another browser, not logged into my account it is $179 full pay.

Yea that sounds right, I just can't get to the $152. I thought I had to do it thru my wallet. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks

What would you suggest for Disney folks first time at Universal for 3 days. A- arrival day 1 pool/citywalk, day 2-epic- no express, day 3 universal &ioa with express pass B- arrival day Universal , day 2 epic, Day 3 ioa ( no park hop and no express)

Also check price difference if one of u gets AP. Ticket will be more but u can get up to 30% off room rate and discount on many food places. Might be cheaper. U would have to price it out or call them and ask them to.

Note usually AP is better deal at 5th day but see how it works if u consider room discount along with it.

Go to AP web page and look for link to hotel discount to check prices.

I see I can add photos into UOR app ahead of time for park entry. Think I can work out how to link tickets. What I can't work out is how to add names to my party- it's list my sons who aren't coming, need to add on in-laws

Correct. I didn't even know you could add photos yourself. It's very easy at the park and the scan usually works (worked entire trip for us) but I send my DH a screenshot of his ticket QR code just in case I'm not with him one day (he doesn't use the app)

@hodg, you are staying at Stella Nova your first night? Across from the bar , outside the store, on the wall, there is an electronic advertisement that changes. One of them is for the facial recognition with a QR form.

8:20pm by PrincipalTinker

I did not try it but I think that might be what you are looking for?

8:23pm by PrincipalTinker

I'm losing my mind! Where on the site can I find the dated to do checklist. What to do each month, week and days before your trip. Does it not exist for Universal planning?

4:53pm by winnie79

Universal trips don't have as much planning as say WDW- what we're you thinking you needed to plan?

4:58pm by screamlikeagirl

It was really a checklist of vacation planning. Reminders of what needs to be done when. It would apply to any vacation, really. I found it so helpful.

8:03pm by winnie79

Trying to understand the way the tickets work for Epic. If we have a 7 day park to park pass does it only allow one day in Epic Universe?

4:37pm by winnie79

Quick query- being lazy to search it up. Remind me please which are the metal detector rides? Hagrids/ hulk/ VC Presume stardust Anything at US now RRR is gone?

6:27pm on 4/20/26 by hodg

Hagrids has lockers but no detectors.

9:07pm on 4/20/26 by kateschmidt

I can take three prong Fanny pack on Hagrid's

10:37pm on 4/21/26 by Buckeye86

Thanks. Pretty sure in-laws will be bag holders on any thrill rides. They do say they're riding hagrids- not sure they know about the drop and not planning on mentioning it.

1:20pm by hodg

Hi everyone. Fisrt time with my family, we're going first day to magic kingom then 3 days (moving freely between parks) universal studios, epic, and islands of adventure. Any advice or something to have in mind? Thanks

1:12pm by jfpv189

Welcome to chat! Guess the questions are when are you going, what ages & interests are your kids, 1st time Disney too or just 1st time universal? Maybe where are you staying too?

1:18pm by hodg

So, DH thinks I should book through a TA. I've planned WDW trips for 20 years and for me it's half the fun. This is our 1st US trip. Is there a huge learning curve? I love research and I have plenty of time to do it. There's 6 adults and 2 teensThoughts?

For the record I don't work for these folks. I got their unofficial guide to Disney book years ago and read like a dozen other books as weland found it to be the best overall. There aren't as many uni books but I found theirs to be good for that as well.

10:40pm on 4/21/26 by Buckeye86

Super easy planning compared to Disney. No TA needed imo.

6:07am by snelvis

Anyone familiar with the dining plan? Seems like a huge value compared to WDW. Thoughts?

Google says butterbeer is included! I'd see if u can find a list of items since not all menu items it says are allowed and see if the ones offered are ones u want.

7:05am on 4/20/26 by Buckeye86

I'd also see if u can find a menu with butterbeer in it posted somewhere showing it is included if it's a must have.

7:08am on 4/20/26 by Buckeye86

Great! Thank you!

UO TRIP REPORT FOR 4/9/26! Today with the whole family, we got to US around 5pm and went to AP/TM store. DW wanted to get a couple $4-5 cups (crazy low prices) but decided to come back on the way out (didn't wanna hold a big bag all afternoon/night)...

9:20am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

collapse thread

then 5 and Dime just to look around. Then to PapaNana for popcorn. :) DS/DW went on Fallon and DD/DS and I went on Mummy. The TM REALLY wanted me to push my lapbar down more and he wasn't rude but he just kept questioning me and trying to push it down.

9:22am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

"Dude..." I said, like, it's down all the way. My kids were laughing and so was the random single-rider teenager next to me. :D LOL :) Met back up with DW/DS and off to HP. Just hung out some... DW/DS went to Simpsons and we went back to store to buy...

9:24am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

some cups and mugs and a lanyard DW wanted... TM rings it all up and it's over $100 and then the total after discount comes and it's $30-something. Crazy! Headed to IoA and went to Seuss Trolley. Walked around Lost Continent and everyone decided they...

9:25am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

were hungry now and we should head to eat early. Walked through JP and around the other way so we could enjoy walking through JP, Toon Lagoon, Marvel, etc. and by now it was raining so we start jogging back to HRH to eat at The Kitchen. So, for the...

9:27am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

first time I think ever, The Kitchen was less than awesome. :( Maybe just an off night but the food really wasn't that great, the service was also not very good too. That's never happened! Will definitely consider it an off night (it can happen!) and...

9:28am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

try again someday, but probably not anytime soon. Too many other great places to go. :) (Too many great places to go that are much less expensive too...) All in all though another great day/night. :) We are fortunate, lucky, blessed.

9:30am on 4/10/26 by browndalmatian

Oh no! We are going to the Kitchen in a couple of weeks for lunch. I'll report back on how that goes.

12:42pm on 4/10/26 by PrincipalTinker

We've never made it to the Kitchen to eat even tho DH mentions it nearly every trip! I'll pass this info along to him.

5:08pm on 4/10/26 by sneezy93

@PT oh cool let us know how it goes please! @sneezy I think it was just one of those "off nights" because it's usually really good.

We went to the Kitchen yesterday for lunch. The waiter told us he was back working there after a long absence. He was good. He did have to make DIL's drink since there was no bartender. Food was fresh and good but once again, took a long time.

6:42am on 4/21/26 by PrincipalTinker

Curious what your family enjoyed at The Kithcen? We went once several trips back and I remember the cheeseburger being excellent. But can't remember what else we had

10:00am on 4/21/26 by clyde4242

DIL had chicken quesadilla and my DS and I both had the phyllo crusted fish and chips.
