    Default Skip the Lines?

    Thinking of tacking on a on property stay at Universal before our WDW trip in January.

    Anyone know if the "Skip the Line" pass is worth it?
    It says Harry Potter ride isn't included plus others???
    I wonder what those would be?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    In January? If you are planning on visiting for two days, I'd say no, it's not worth it. This would be especially if you are visiting during the week. If you were visiting in the summer or during other busy times, I'd consider, but January has much lower attendance.

    Like you stated, Forbidden Journey isn't even included. I thought everything else was included, but apparently not?

    Forbidden Journey is not an Express Pass participating attraction.. However, if you stay on property, you do get access to Wizarding World and the attractions an hour before the park opens... So it should be practically a walk on...

    As far as buying Express Pass, you really won't need it too much, if at all, in January...

    And Rip Ride Rock It is also a non-Express Pass attraction...

    TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    Since we'd be going that 1st weekend right after the New Year, before everyone goes back to work and school, I figured it might be a little more crowded that Saturday and Sunday.

    Thanks for the input!

    If you are staying on property you will already be getting an unlimited express pass to everything except Forbidden Journey & RRR. That's all you will need, you won't need to purchase anything else. It is a great perk and once you try it you will never want to do the park without it again. RRR you are on your own, but you will get to enter IOA and hour early to ride Forbidden Journey as many times as you can fit in.

    Question

    Sorry to tag on another question but would anyone recommend it for December (early to mid)?
    Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

    If it's financially feasible, I would agree staying on site with the built in express pass is the way to go. Onsite still does not give you Potter, Rip Ride Rockitt or Despicable me, but it will give you early morning access so you can ride those before the park opens to offsite guests. And you can pretty much walk right on.

    Also- onsite is UNLIMITED express meaningyou can use it on a ride repeatedly. When you buy the Express ticket you can only use 1 time per ride.

    I found it to be a great deal. I go during off peak, and it still comes in handy. Doesn't help you on FJ, but most other rides it does. Paid off on Spiderman.
