How many RIDES can I do with our Included Unlimited Universal Express Passes in 3 hours?

[@ChinaDollTravels]

Love the perks of staying at that resort to use the free express for pass

[@kristinek.3110]

Stayed at Royal Pacific 2 weeks ago. Express Pass was so worth it. Transformers had a 90 minute stand-by and we waited 15 minutes! We may never stay at a non-premier resort again!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Wow what a great day awesome low crowds. Thanks for sharing!

[@bridgetkorns8174]

This was so educational. Staying at a premier Universal Resort is definitely worth it (unlike Disney).

[@tecwzrd]

Yes and no, I only go to Universal with my daughter and for me it's not worth it. For a family of 4+ it's worth it as the extra cost for express passes is more than the extra cost to stay at the premier resorts. Also time of year makes a huge difference, off season most wait times are 20 minutes or less for most rides, during peak when the popular rides are an hour or more it also makes more sense to stay at a premeir resosrt.

[@MikeyBee-]

It was the greatest experience we’ve ever had at universal! Please do it

[@thenameisyosh]

Right?!

[@angelaterranova1577]

Yes we have done and totally worth the price because of that pass!

[@PilotCristina]

@@tecwzrdstill worth it for me even if I was alone. Fast pass is per day so if you’re staying for 4 days that’s a lot of savings, the convenience of a boat ride, avoid the lines for security, closest to the park, etc. You can’t beat that!

[@tizw9207]

Thank you for educating us about the passes and the hotel….. awesome info

[@eheersink]

We went to universal for the first time this summer and had the express included with our hotel as well. It was awesome, and I don’t know if we’ll be able to go back without it!

You have done a great job showing Universal as an alternative to Disney. You should asl do a comparison on perks for AP holders. Anyways, love the videos!

[@monykalynf3604]

UOAP has far more perks than disney AP-top pass for UO has free valet parking, free prime parking, an HHN ticket, higher discounts throughout year. all passholders get discount at hotel stays, and a passholder lounge. Disney has...free parking at parks? A small discount on food at some places? UO has discounts for nearly all food-quickservice, the refillable cup, table service, resorts quick service. Oh-and special rooms at some restaurants and food items for passholders! Disney has...park reservations? UOAP top pass also has express after four (one time per ride, not unlimited) built in...for 1/2 price of disney AP-former disney APH

[@rachelfox6328]

Great video Dev as usual, I love how excited you get about Halloween.

[@TheToyRoom]

When I stayed at Portofino I found it faster to just walk to Universal almost every time instead of waiting around for the water taxi. There's always the possibility if there's a lot of people in front of, you can't get onto that taxi and you'll have to wait for the next one. Of course if the taxi is already there and there's not a ton of people then go for it!

[@layllalo9988]

We stayed for the 1st time at Royal Pacific in January. Never not staying at a premium hotel again. We will be back next week. Love Royal Pacific

[@MP-cr7uf]

Yep-we love Universal Express Pass! We used it when we stayed at Royal Pacific and going to use it again when we going to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel! We like the water taxi service at night, but use the walking trails in the morning.

[@lylah115]

We went to Universal studios last June for the first time and we stayed at the Royal Pacific, it was so nice and the water taxis were so convenient. The express passes were so worth it at that time as it was incredibly busy! Can’t wait to go back! Nice vids Dev! I try to catch them all!

All this looks great. Would be great to come. I was planning on traveling to Florida this Halloween season, but Florida covid cases are pretty crazy right now. Maybe next year.

[@ladyjane8855]

Rumors are Florida will reach herd immunity in mid September so October should be ok.

[@cauhxmilloy7670]

@@ladyjane8855 Unfortunately, that doesn't work out mathematically. Florida has only had ~3 million cases, with a population of ~21 million. Even if the reported cases are way off, there's at least 10 million still susceptible (reported cases suggest 17 million). With new covid case rates of 30k/day (the current peak), that would take over 300 days to get through the low estimate of 10 million. Sad to say, this isn't getting better any time soon. :< Here's hoping. 🤞

Loved the Express Pass. Coming from the UK it was invaluable, we stayed for 2 nights at the Royal Pacific and it was brilliant, like you said its so easy to get to the parks and it's a nice hotel.

[@JuniperMB]

Premiere hotels are definitely worth the price at Universal. I've stayed at Portofino and Royal Pacific. Royal is my favorite since it is smaller and easier to get from room to water taxi, but both are great. The Express pass is good day of check in and check out, so if you have a 1 night stay, you get two days of express pass....VERY economical for even one or two people, let alone a family, for the price of the hotel room. The premiere hotel cost is worth it to skip lines, especially when crowded.

[@scotiathephoenix]

Y’all did awesome with the express pass. You definitely sold us on staying at a premier resort. Thanks Dev👍🏽

We only stay at Premier hotels for the Express Pass! Changes your entire vacation and allows you to do SOOO MUCH! We are staying at Portofino in October in a Despicable ME suite - can't wait! Any idea when Hagrid's or the Velocicoaster will open up to Express? Great Vid Dev - Thanks!

[@monykalynf3604]

Hagrids if wait goes over an hour will generally have virtual queue-check a couple times throughout day to get a pass. Velocicoaster waits aren't bad-went a couple weeks ago-even the 45 minute wait was ~30 minutes. And you will DEFINITELY want to go through regular lines at least once on both rides. Have fun at portofino!!

[@bjornemccomb8262]

We really enjoyed the water taxis as well! Although I did love the scenic walk along the water from Royal Pacific into the gates.

[@giabarletta5929]

I’ve stayed at every “premier” level resort at Universal and it is just the best way to experience it. First of all their “premier” level is about what a Disney moderate costs and the fact that you’re in walking distance to the parks and get free unlimited express passes for everyone in your room is amazing. And the resorts themselves absolutely immerse you into the atmosphere. It’s completely underrated and an absolute bang for your buck.
