Yes, the morning we were there by the time we got to Krakatau it was not “ride now” and required the Tapu Tapu. It was less than a 5 minute wait to join the line, and probably a 20 minute wait until we got to the front of the line. After that - due to the ride malfunction - I imagine the wait...

We had a good time, but not a “we definitely have to go back feeling” like we did after our first in December 2021. I’m thankful for what it was, and hopeful that when we are ready to return the OI Meetups are still an option.

So glad you finished your report! We arrived at the Saturday meetup right around 5:30, just as a rain delay was lifting on most of the outdoor attractions. I think that is why they were slow to clear attractions at park close. We tried to go to Velocicoaster and Hagrids when the meetup started...

If you are staying at a Universal property, I would definitely do early entry at VB. If not it might be a tossup. One good thing about Typhoon is you can also “hop” to Blizzard Beach on the same day (I haven’t tried post Covid, so you may want to verify this is still offered).

A (not-so-)quick summary of our recent experience at Volcano Bay: We were staying at Aventura and I had planned to arrive at 7:30 for an 8:00 am early entry. This was derailed by teenagers, and we actually arrived at 7:53. The line was stopped at the entrance to the tunnel that goes under the...

There are also some large shade structures on the beach at the entrance to TeAwa (the fast lazy river) with tons of chair space. Last week was our first visit and we enjoyed the spot just in front of the end of the body slides (#1 on list from @Sehsun above). It is a smaller structure with...

We had bread box for the first time last week and all loved our sandwiches. You could do that “to go”. But my recommendation would probably just use the quick service in your hotel or Miller’s Ale House delivery.

Hope your mom continues to head in the right direction!

Had a great time at the meetup and really glad that we attended. It was our 2nd meetup - first was December 2021 and we did 2 nights each time. While it was great and we only had minor issues, I have to say we are probably done for a while. Definitely the only way to do Universal for our budget...

I think for a GoPro and phones, a mini locker will be just fine. FYI the mini ones are in the backside of the locker bay. Almost wouldn’t have found if didn’t know to hunt them down.

Just checked in for Southwest flight. Trying to budget this trip so I did not purchase early bird. I was pleasantly surprised to get in the A30s for our first flight, and B20s for the STL leg. It’s getting real!

I am so sorry this happened, but grateful her situation presented now instead of when you were at the meetup. Cancelling is tough, but absolutely the right decision. Best wishes for a complete recovery.

Anybody else in an absolute time warp? We leave on a flight at the *-crack-of-dawn on Thursday. With our son’s high school graduation, grad party, and the Memorial Day holiday distracting us, it just hit me that I really only have 2 days to get organized and packed. Rut roh Shaggy! Safe...

It has been years since I have been to Disney and I have only had problems on the tea cups. Many of Universal’s rides are next-level for motion sickness. I can’t do the park without motion sickness assistance. I have found that meclizine has worked best for me. Finding the 12.5 dose helps me to...

I am encouraged that it looks like they will be sending a link for hotel reservations to those that actually purchase meetup tickets. I don’t know that it was an abuse but always thought it was odd that anyone could book - unless maybe they were checking against a guest list behind the scenes or...

RRR - the personal song selections make the ride so much more fun!

I’m so excited for the meetup and feel like we mostly have a handle on those days. I’m also currently all-in researching Volcano Bay after my teens requested they would like to go ‘someday’. Since we are staying on-site June 1-6, it seems like the perfect time to try it and take advantage of...

It took me almost a week, but I was able to read all 80 pages of posts. Great information, so thank you to all who have participated! I have a few questions on current operations at VB: 1) early posts included people using AquaVaults on the public access loungers. Are those still allowed? 2) is...

@Krisshay13 just to clarify - “love this” was comment on your fabulous attitude and focus on your excitement! @RocketCityMama very good point. Probably very little time in the room outside of sleeping/getting ready. And we tend to get ready in shifts - husband and I get ready while kids still...

love this. A post yesterday did confirm there will be additional OI merchandise at some point. Not sure what or if even for this meetup, but that is fun! I agree - can’t wait. We leave 3 weeks from today. I still need to nail down our hotel options. Just can’t decide if we will be fine with 4...
