We have a one day trip on March 2, which is a Saturday. Undercover Tourist and Touring Plans both have it as a 6. My understanding is that EP is not really needed for that crowd level. But being the Saturday before Mardi Gras and TP updating the Disney crowd levels so high for the same time has me worried.
Should I trust the 6 and look at wait times on similar day to see what wait times will be like? I'm worried it's going to be more like a 9 being Mardi Gras weekend, in which case I definitely would want us to get them. It will be a big group of first timers and not something I want to try to talk them into the day of. If it is a 6, I think UT recommends that Express is not needed.
Also, I've heard rumors that Universal will allow you to buy after 4pm Express in the parks, but they don't advertise it. Is this true? And if so, how much is it? Might be the best plan of action. See how the day is going, and if we need it, buy the After 4 pass to get through what we have left. Though I guess by after 4, it might not be very useful if the crowds have gone down. But I would assume with a concert and night time parade and the lake show it will be pretty crowded.
