    Does anyone know the Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle dates?

    We were there for it on Wednesday this past week. Park closed at 8, they did 2 castle shows around 8 and 8:15, and the death eaters didn't come out until 8:15. It was raining that night too though, so not sure if that affected any of the times.

    Switching to cabana bay to save $800

    We were there in November 2021 around your same timeframe & had Express via staying at Royal Pacific. It was nice to have, but totally not needed. Often the express pass saved us zero time vs. the standby lines.

    Royal Pacific

    We stayed at Royal Pacific last week, fully vaxxed but still wore masks indoors. I'd say about one third of guests were masked, not a majority by any means but you certainly didn't feel out of place having a mask on. Staff was all masked too which helped.

    Closest CVS or Walgreens to Universal? Can't tell on map which are closest/easiest to get to

    We went to the Kirkman one for our tests (from Royal Pacific). No Universal morning entry traffic to fight as you're around the backside of the resort, easy 10 minute drive.

    Walgreens Orlando- Will Uber work for drive through??

    We got tested (ID Now) at the Walgreens just north of Universal Orlando on Kirkman today. It was done at the regular drive thru, couldn’t have been easier, just showed our online confirmation and drivers licences, had results via email within a half hour.

    BeeperMD test results

    Booking is easy, but there doesn't seem to be much of a mechanism in place to modify or cancel! We're currently trying to change our time for the end of this month - emailed them with no response, tomorrow I'll try the online chat.

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    We're there that same time too! I'd recommend the family suite, ~$20 more a night is well worth it for the extra space

    NEXUS Renewal

    Update: We finally got our 2nd renewal approval notice - took almost 11 months from the application until now. Our advice is apply for renewal as early as possible (1 year before expiry) because it could very well take that long!
