Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure they are serving breakfast.They wont be serving breakfast
The breakfast deal you read about is for the hotel package only, it will be catered.

Where does it say that it's counter service? I'm confused. I'm pretty sure that it isn't given the menu. What about the Pub in the back too?
I was also really disappointed to hear there aren't any milder rides. I love Harry Potter and I don't like intense rides.
I'd really hate waiting for my guy while he's experiencing the wizarding world all by himself .
To me even the ex-unicorn-kind-of-ride can cause nausea.
I wish they did something like E.T. (which I LOVE) or even something like the spiderman ride.
I've noted on the Universal website, that on-site hotel "vacation packages" include early park admission. One hour before posted opening time.
Does anyone know how they will be able to tell if you have a "vacation package" or an on-site room only reservation?
Probably not...no time soon anyway.Does anyone know if the Three Broomsricks is going to be part of the Meal Deal that Universal has?
Thanks!!
Sorry...I'm confused...what else is new!
We will be staying onsite, RPR. I did not book a package. I have annual passes and I have a room only reservation. Can I get into the park one hour early?

I think you will be able to get into the area at 8, and you'll have the chance to ride before your breakfast.
Other things people may want to know if you plan on going the 18th.
I'm not trying to find fault in anything, it's just again based completely on rumors that have been heard here as well as other discussion boards and threads. The price issue is one that many people have in the theme park world, Disney, Universal, and even your regional theme parks. It's something that we accept and take as "part of theme park business" yet apply that to other things such as gas, and hurricane supplies in hurricane season and we call it gouging.That's an interesting read (the link). Some good discussion points, and some ridiculous and almost condescending ones as well. Even the most cynical Debbie Downer is stretching to warn people about long lines. I was surprised there wasn't a section faulting the June 18th opening date by warning people that Florida has a tendency to be hot in the summer.
And implying that the changing price cost of the Express pass is "gouging" in the same theme park industry in which restaurants at Disney raise their prices "due to guest demand" on heavier traffic periods? That's a bit much.

You seem to be taking offense to the article, and it was clearly meant to inform not to offend, especially when we see so many people on these boards and others all over hoping to do things such as "meet the cast of Harry Potter" or see the "Harry Potter theme park". Cynical, hell yeah...condescending...not intended.
While I agree and understand, there are plenty of people who, while they've never really experienced Universal queues and are used to disney phoning it in, they don't care. They don't want to wait in line. So therefore they will be disappointed.I enjoyed the article, I just found it very one-sided and looked at the worst of every situation without even a nod to "the counter point." I understand your point about the Express price fluctuations, but I think presented fairly, Disney fans would do anything for something like that to be available at the parks. And from what I can tell, using a Express pass on the Forbidden Journey would be a waste. It appears the insanely immersive environment of that ride is that the queue itself is part of the attraction. Disney seems to be fine with just throwing video games up to distract their captive audience, but Universal - it appears - has put together a ride in which the queue may be just as special as the ride itself.
Maybe theme park fans are so used to Disney phoning it in on ride queues that they don't understand just how good Universal is at it. And as good as Spider-man and The Mummy are, the environment and experience for the Forbidden Journey looks to blow them away. Using a fast pass on it would be like skipping to the final chapter of a great book. It's the journey to that point that makes the ending so great.
