Unlimited Express Passes
Here's a more detailed explanation of how the Unlimited Express Passes work.
So lets imagine you arrive at the hotel at 6am on your check in day. While your room is unlikely to be ready at that time, you can drop off luggage at the hotel. You can pickup your room key card, that doubles as your express pass. This means you can immediately start using the express passes the minute the parks open, to the minute they close, as long as it’s your check in day.
What’s also great is that they don’t expire until the last minute of when the parks close on the day of checkout. So let’s say you book a one night stay at royal pacific, this gives you, and all people staying in your room two full days worth of express passes. Easy to see why many book a one night stay at a premiere resort during the tail end of their vacation.

Thank you for the wonderful video....10 days ago, I was looking up information on Universal Studios and your Vlog came up....Long story short...I ended up taking a last minute Father & Son Trip last Monday and my son had the best time ever, We ended up staying at Cabana Bay, We arrived pretty early, after we checked in our luggage, We boarded the shuttle bus to Universal studios, I was so happy seeing my son enjoy himself on the cool rides...Life is so short, and I was glad to be able to make this happen....I appreciate you for sharing the vlog with everyone "Stay Blessed"
Amazing!! Love hearing wholesome stories like this thank you 😁😁
Pool hopping is allowed at all but the Endless Summer resorts. You can also walk to Sapphire Falls from either Cabana Bay or Aventura to utilize the water taxi.
The Helios is going to be the must have for the hotels
Yeah hoping they reveal more about that shortly!
@@TheFrugalBrit hello I’m going to Orlando in September and want to build a lightsaber at Hollywood. Last time we came I didn’t get to as I didn’t know I had to book in advance 😡. Can you tell me how is best to book this and when as I’m coming from the uk? I saw online there is a number to call but I don’t know if that is a scam? Any help would be much appreciated
I went dockside a couple years ago and loved it, we got a room upgrade to a suite.
I had a burger that was awful from the cafeteria but it was easy to get food on international drive.
Woohoo, great to see another video! Very well done review, thank you!
I would say the Hard Rock is my favorite. It is very nostalgic to me and I love the theme
great watch - as always your videos are in the top tier in terms of scripting, production and quality! Cant wait to see your take on Epic Universe when it opens!
Superb vlog as always! Totally agree that Cabana Bay reception/check-in is ridiculously slow. We stood for hours last year.
Great video! ❤ Staying at a premium resort for the free fast passes is such good value. We stayed at Royal Pacific and made sure to use them as much as well could!
Great video again mate.
Universal have got it spot on. Their hotels and parks are so close together offering so much choice for different budgets.
And I think once Epic Universe opens next year they'll be offering so much more than the dated Disney parks are looking now.
The Epic Universe press release video looks amazing.
This is a great video. Well done. ❤
Thank you so much! 😁
Stayed at the Cabanah Bay Hotel in October, and it was brilliant. Really good fun family-friendly hotel and great value for money.
I’m probably going to book it again for the family later this year.
@TheFrugalBrit 2025 will be our next trip for my 40th. Epic universe will be open by then as well 🙌.
As a Loews Hotels at universal employee, even though i know all this information, i still enjoy your videos. Great work!
Great work once again! Love watching your videos, always makes me feel that bit closer to a vacation. Especially love the music and sounds on your vids!
Awesome, glad you enjoyed 😁😁
Lets go back at it again with an amazing vid, my days are so much better with avid from you in them. Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you David 😁😁
We’ve only stayed at Hard rock, but we absolutely loved it. And the express pass was a great perk.
Royal Pacific is my favorite. I love the theming and proximity to the parks while not being so close that I feel bad taking a water taxi if it’s been a long day at the parks
Loved Endless Summer Dockside - had a family room for 5 of us and the separate space was a major blessing. Apart from a single "day off" in our 2 week stay we were out from early morning until late evening so only used to sleep. Got a food delivery early on that gave us our snacks for the fortnight with the decent size fridge being particularly useful. I should also note that having 3 doubles rather than the two doubles and a sofa bed in Cabana Bay, as well as the fact there's a totally separate room helped push us in favour of the value resort.
I’m partial to either Aventura or Royal Pacific…Very thorough and, as always, cheerfully presented!
I don’t dislike any of them to be honest. Cabana bay is my go to with the family, but hoping to treat them to hard rock later this year 😁
Wonderful video, again. Would love one of you fantasy booking your ideal two week holiday, including what parks to do on what day, where to stay, eat, etc etc.
That’s a really good idea!
My name is Craig Dennis and i watch your new videos all the time and i in joy all of your videos all the time and you have a nice safe rest of your day and you take care of rest of your day👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Craig 😁
Thank u for a tour of all hotels....we pretty sure of Sapphire but your tour sealed the deal....
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
My favorite resort has always been hard rock, just something about the vibe there
Yeah I’m hoping to treat the family to a few nights there later this year 😁
@@TheFrugalBrit I can totally recommend! Has imo the best pool area and best dining, and the close proximity to the park is a massive perk!
Great video. You're right regarding the price increase of Cabana Bay. Gutted it's costing that much more (thoigh we are looking around when the kids are of school). Hoping when the new hotels open, these drop in price!
Yeah it’s disappointing. I paid £1950 for two weeks in 2022 for the family suite (14 nights). Can’t get near that now.
So far I've stayed at Portofino and endless summer Surfside. Will be going to Dockside in 11 days. Even though I prefer the premier Resort of Portofino, I was quite impressed with endless summer, especially the price point. However, I can't wait for Epic Universe hotels to open next year. Love love, love, love Universal Studios Orlando.
Only been to cabana bay out of these, but I lucked out and got to stay in the western (southern?) most tower right at the VB side entrance. Personally I found the burgers at bay liner really good, chips were meh, but that cheese burger, I could eat that sucker every night.
I nearly did, lol.
What about lunch and supper? Is it included in the price?
Superb video! I think Universal's hotel collection is a much better value than Disney's collection overall considering price, convenience to parks/water parks/entertainment districts, and cleanliness/upkeep of properties. When Epic Universe and its hotels open next year, the value gap will widen even more. As someone who has been attending theme parks for decades in Orlando and our local Cedar Fair park here in the Charlotte area, express passes are a horrible value at any theme park. We have specific times of the year we visit parks and non-stressful and easy ways we plan each attraction to where we rarely have to wait more than 30 minutes.
Totally agree! Thanks for watching 😁👍
Any advice about which of the premier or Sapphire has the best 2 -3 BR suites?
I don’t have the experience for that unfortunately.
Can you use the pools from the other hotels (example Cabana Bay) if you are in dockside or surfside hotel.
I've heard that dockside and surfside don't have pool hopping options. But anything above that level does. I may be wrong though.
@@danjames4606 Thanks alot
I have 5 people. Which hotels can accommodate us in 1 suite ?
Why do you not show prices for the premiere resorts ?
Maybe because it's over $900 per night.
I did show the price ranges when introducing the premier resorts.
The range is 350-900 for premier. Mostly 750-900 is for spring break/March and Christmas/new years.
God willing, staying at sapphire falls in a month.
Enjoy 👍 🤞 😁
@@TheFrugalBrit thanks! it went well as always. for a possible fall 2024 visit for a few days, do you suggest dockside or surfside? which one had the thin walls again? thank you!
So I’ll say this. I’ve stayed at these premier hotels plenty of times with my gf and had never had a issue. I stayed not to long with my brother who hasn’t been here since he was in 6th grade. At about 12pm our smoke detector went off and woke us up and my brother touched the detector and it fell off. About 10 mins goes by and we hear aggressive knocking and there was about 6 security guards and a maintenance guy who was there. Immediately said to my brother took y’all long enough he peaked his head in the door and said smells like marijuana in here (even thow we didn’t smoke in there nor did we have anything like that in the room) the guy comes in puts a new battery and twist it back in. The next morning I had a charge on my card for a smoking fee of $250 and when I went down there to talk to them about it. They said that the smoke detector detected and illegal substance and alerted the hotel. Even thow they don’t even do that lmao. And for tampering with the device. We ended up having to deal with the head manger of the hotel and eventually had the charge reversed which will take 2-10 business days….. almost felt like we where targeted for being younger adults. I still haven’t had the funds put into my account either. Definitely tried to pull a fast one on us.
I feel so sorry for you!
I think that Universal needs to switch to Pepsi so that Pepsi fans can enjoy a Pepsi while visiting Universal. If Disney serves Coke, then why not have Universal serve Pepsi instead?
We need something new.
Do you mean in terms of hotels? Epic universe will have 3 new hotels
