Stayed there 3x. Shutters painted on so it looks a little cheap up close. The piaZza is lovely at night. Express pass doesn't work on Harry Potter rides but you'll get in an hour early so it doesn't matter much. Mama Della has great food. Have fun!

We have stayed there twice. Very nice hotel, and the express pass makes it even better.

Here's the information, although the higher end US hotels throw it in with the package.

The website says that you can get a pass that enables you to skip the lines at Universal. Has anyone done this? Is it like Disney Fast Pass - only 3 times/day? Or do you get to skip lines whenever you want?
Any feedback would be appreciated!


The Fastpass is totally worth it. Just understand it's not for every ride (including the most popular Harry Potter ride)

Its only on the headlining rides though - not all rides, correct?

The universal 'fastpass' is so worth it. Do it.

You can skip to front all day and get 1 hour early access to a park per day. We stayed at Lowes Royal Pacific and had the same perks.
