I replied to this post back on page 6. One thing has changed since. I added one more night to our WDW stay so now we are staying 2 nights but only going to MK one day. Like I had previously posted, we cancelled our 11 night stay and I rebooked for one night at Poly due to points I didn't bank. I still had a few more points so I added a night since availability seems to be opening up a lot at a lot of resorts. I also had no problem booking dining at all the usually sold out restaurants. Anyway, the mouse is losing my money at this point. We are still going to Orlando for the same 11 nights but 3 are at Legoland and 6 at Universal Portofino Bay. I also renewed our UO AP's. $479 renewal rate, express pass after 4:00, no blackouts, early entry, park hoping, valet parking, prime parking if we drive to a park, food and merchandise discounts, hotel discounts and one free HHN ticket per pass makes it a great value! Now I probably will never use the Express pass after 4:00 because we always stay at a resort that includes them but it will be nice to have when we stay at WDW in March as we will not be doing any Disney Parks but may decide to do a UO day. One more added bonus is if you book with your AMEX Platinum card through AMEX you get 12:00 check-in when available, 4:00pm checkout guaranteed, a room upgrade at check-in (if there is no availability they will give you club access) and free breakfast every morning of your stay. That is a perk that will save a lot of money for sure! We really do enjoy universal but me and my family Love WDW so I really hope they see the light and bring back the magic. Soon.
