Universal Studios Hotels & Theme Park Review
Universal Studios Resorts are ready for 2015 Family Vacations
The new Diagon Alley is open at Universal Studios in Florida. Chris went to Universal Studios to see the new Harry Potter land and took the train between the two parks. No Harry Potter land spoilers are in this show, so feel free to listen from beginning to end. To enjoy all of Harry Potter at Universal it’s now $139 for a two park pass. Or get a Universal Studios Florida Annual Pass. Chris covers why the Universal Annual Pass is a great deal.
Doing a Disney World and Universal Vacation together:
Sometimes we get clients at Pixie Vacations that want to stay at Walt Disney World and also Universal Studios on the same vacation. The best way to do this is to book two vacation reservations, don’t just do one day at Universal Studios and pay for transportation there and back and the one day two park tickets at $139 each. Stay on property at Universal Studios at one of their 4 star resorts. When you stay on property at Universal Studios you get FREE EXPRESS PASSES. These are front of the line passes and also you get into the Harry Potter area an hour before regular guests. If you buy Express Passes they are about $90 per person. So for less than the cost of a Universal Studios 4 star resort you get Express Passes and a nice resort to spend the night in.

Walt Disney World Saratoga Springs Review
After staying at a very nice one bedroom villa at Disney’s Sarasota Springs Chris now has a new found love for this resort.
Positives:
The one bedroom was very nice and the clean and large.
The main pool is wonderful.
Access to Downtown Disney is perfect
Negatives:
The resort area is very large and has five internal bus stops so it takes a long time to get too and from the different Disney parks.
Getting around the resort is time consuming and when traveling by car the bus traffic and golf cart traffic moves very slow.
The resort lacks any real theme.
Disney World FastPass+ Update. Get additional FastPasses
We tested the new extra FastPass system. So after you use your three fastpasses, you can get more. It worked. Now the issue is the lines are about 20 minutes long to get more FastPasses and you can only get additional FastPasses one at a time. WIFI was down in the park, but you should be able to get additional FastPasses on your mobile device instead of waiting in a Disney World FastPass Que.
Disney World California Grill Review
Chris covers CA Grill after having dinner there AGAIN. Listen to the review. Also we have an update on the Disney World Tables in Wonderland 20% discount card policies.
