8 Things You Should Do When Planning A Group Trip To Universal Orlando Resort

2. Get Express Pass, Even If Just For Part Of Your Group

If like us you only have a handful of thrill seekers, you should think about purchasing Express Pass. Even if it's only for a couple in your party.

Express Pass allows you to skip most of the queue. Almost all of the more popular rides, including those in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter are eligible for Express Pass.

The reason it works so well for groups where you only have a few who want to ride the more popular attractions, is that it prevents your party for being split up for too long. A 40 minute wait for Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket is suddenly reduced to 10 minutes thanks to Express Pass, which when people are having to hang around waiting is much better.

Even if you just get Express Passes for those who want to ride lots of attractions, it will everyone time. Have a think about which members of your group will benefit from Express Pass or if it is something that everyone will find useful.

Universal Express Pass for both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure cost up to £79 per person depending on which time of the year you visit. Of course the easiest way to ensure you have an Express Pass is to stay at a Universal Orlando Resort that offers these with your stay.
