Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
I joined this forum years ago before my first recent trip to Disney, since then I have been to Disney many times and I feel like I'm well versed from a Disney standpoint. This forum helped A LOT prior to my first trip.
This Trip coming up, 2/16-2/24, we are doing 5 days at Disney 2/16-2/20 and 3 days at Universal Studios 2/21-2/23. Long story short we were actually booked to go to Marco Island, but the Hotel is closed due to storm damage so we changed plans last minute. At first I booked the Hilton Embassy for the entire stay. After much research I changed to staying at Royal Pacific Resort Club Level for the 3 days we are going to Universal, I figured my first time going I should do it right and I wanted the express pass too. We just went to Disney in August so although we will not be staying at a Disney resort we feel we will be fine, we do not plan to spend all day at the parks.
So here are my questions, I will search also, just want to ask a few quick questions prior if that is OK.
1. I bought my park tickets from Undercover Tourist (We have the PTP tickets) and I booked the stay today on the Universal Website, do I have to link the tickets to my stay?
2. How do I get the Express Pass active for the day I check in? We plan to go to Universal the day of our arrival, can I drop my bags off in the AM and just get it done then?
3. The tickets are paper, do they have a form of Magic Bands?
The kids, Twin 12 year old sons and 8 year old daughter, are really excited.
Thank you in advance for any information you could provide!!!
