Planning 1st time Universal trip, so know little to nothing. We are a family of 4 (kids 6&11) who are not thrill-ride people. Going end of June and we are ok getting to parks 1st thing. (We almost always rope drop at WDW.) We are going almost exclusively for Harry Potter world, with some character interaction/kid rides/shows thrown in the mix (depending on what I find -- like I said, we know nothing). Was looking into staying at one of the premier results to get "free EP", based on friends' recommendations, but am now wondering if added expense is worth it for a family like ours.
Would LOVE suggestions/input from experienced Universal goers, because we could really use the money savings if the EP isn't necessary for a trip like ours.
