Hi All,
We've been to USO about 5 times since 2019. Each time staying at deluxe and having Express Passes.
On our recent trip last week we noticed a noticeable difference with the speed of the express pass lines. We noticed that staff is letting much less people in from express for each ride load - making EP line go much slower. We had timed a few of our rides to compare it against posted wait times and was flabbergasted on the results.
Example:
Flight of Hippogriph was 30min wait and our EP wait was 23mins.
Most outrageous one was with 1 Fish 2 fish ride. Where we watched the load agent only allow 1 to 2 families from EP and the rest from the standard queue. This made the wait almost equal to waiting in standard standby. You could see other's in EP line aggravated at this. It was as the agent was trying to purposely punish the EP line.
Most other wait times were better but still worse than we remembered from all our other visits. Has anyone else noticed this recently? We used to confidently say that EP line would be under 10mins std and bigger rides maybe 15. it did not feel to be the case this trip. We didn't' go on a busy week either.
I'm glad the passes were included in my hotel or I would have complained and asked for our money back.
