I'm a travel writer, so that generally means I get treated better than your average traveler. But here at Universal Studios, the theme park in Orlando, I'm not the only one getting the VIP treatment. It's available to everyone who stays at one of the three hotels onsite or visitors who buy a Universal Express Plus Pass.
Tess and I are here as a guest of
Universal and we spent the day at the theme park. Since we're
staying at the Hard Rock Hotel we
have passes that give us access to the Express line.
It
was a busy day at the park today (despite relatively cool Florida
temperatures and the snowstorm on the East Coast that left a lot of
travelers stranded). Many of the lines had posted waiting times of
60 minutes or longer; we never waited more than 15 minutes to get
on a ride. We did everything we wanted to do at the park, including
watching the holiday parade, in five hours.
