I'm a little disappointed that they are using the Drake Passage crossing versus the fly/cruise option that some companies offer for around the same price. I want to go to Antarctica. I don't want to spend four days on the Drake Passage. o_O

We flew out of LAX. You can make your flight reservation anytime you like on the last day. We had a private transfer in a very large luxury SUV. Disney will tell you what time they are picking you up based on your airport and flight time (generally 3 hours in advance, I believe). The hotel...

Putting all of this in perspective . . . Per the CDC, over 20,000 people have died of the plain old flu in the US alone since October 1, 2019. Over 34,000,000 people in the US have been infected with the flu. Over 340,000 hospitalizations. We have a vaccine for the flu (which wasn't...

I did the group VIP Experience, so zero wait for Hagrid's. That the BEST way. Or review the extensive Hagrid's thread on here for other strategies. The Mardi Gras concert is in an open air band shell. You can hear it from a distance or grab a seat. It's not generally hard to see, but I...

USH is a real movie studio with a small theme park. I love seeing the backlots and the VIP Tour at USH is light years more interesting than the one at USO. It's a very fun park. Depending on when you go and crowds (and if you do VIP), you can do it in less than a full day, which leaves time...

The other posters have shared great ideas. I love the British Museum and National Gallery. I also enjoy seeing shows on the West End (don't call them Broadway shows!). There's a ticket booth where you can get day-of-show tickets at a substantial discount (but maybe not the absolute most...

Don't worry about Walt's Barn. It is my understanding that it is no longer included in this trip (it wasn't in mine).

If you have kids who are fans of Percy Jackson, y'all need to visit Nashville. We have a full sized replica of the Parthenon of Athens (and we keep ours in better shape). Parts of Percy Jackson were filmed there.

"Taylor," an employee of the Global Discovery Group, will be your live human guide to explore the multiple rooms of Temple of Poseidon.

Yes, it's open. You can see the wait time in the app (right now, it's 30 minutes). I love the show (it can vary depending on the cast of the day). It has some great visual effects. It is very well air conditioned. Take him. He will love it.

If you happen to be doing a VIP tour on a Mardi Gras parade day, ask your guide at the start of the tour about the possibility of being a float rider. My guide was able to do a little magic, and by early afternoon, she presented me with a wristband. I just had to show up around 6:30 p.m., sign...

I've tried that twice, and been turned down twice! I'll keep asking every time I go, but so far, no luck!

I've stayed a RP several times and the HRH once. I prefer the proximity of the HRH to the parks. The RP is really nice, too. I felt like the HRH was lighter and brighter.

I don't think they've cut the Immigration Room. She said she had gone there the day before, but got a text that morning that it wasn't available. I asked at the ride after the tour, and they also said it wasn't available. I'm not sure what was up. I was super disappointed because I wanted to...

Yes, I've done the Universal Hollywood VIP Tour, and it is amazing. You see a lot of behind the scenes things and get to walk through actual film and TV sets (like the Superstore store). This depends on what's shooting and such, but you may run into a star or see something secret in...

One other thing I meant to mention. One drawback of doing the VIP Experience is that while you skip the lines, you also skip the queues. This means that you likely won't see any of the immersive elements in the queues or pre-shows. It's just straight onto the ride. For example, the show and...

1. Yes, 30 minutes early would be fine, depending on how fast you eat. You check in, get your credentials, and they send you to the cafe for breakfast. Your guide meets you there just before the tour starts. 2. We didn’t see any shows. We weren’t offered the opportunity. Considering how busy...

Yes, both breakfast and lunch were at Cafe La Bamba. Both private and non private tours commingled there.

I took the Universal Orlando VIP Experience Tour (shared group) last week, and thought I'd share some thoughts on the experience: We did not get to go into the "Immigration Room" at Men in Black. We didn't do the attraction at all. The guide said the room was closed for the day, but didn't...

Unless things have changed since the last time I stayed there, yes. Just ask when you check in for directions.
