Episode 473: Welcome to another episode of Traveling with the Mouse! We're diving into some exciting Disney news, including a new option for skipping the lines, holiday updates, and even some breakfast news! Here's what we cover in this episode. Big Thunder Mountain Refurbishment Prep You may have noticed a few changes around Big Thunder […] The post Disney's Premiere Pass vs. Universal's Express Pass and More Disney News appeared first on Traveling With The Mouse.

In this episode of The Great British Mickey Waffle, John, Becca, and Ben dive into the latest Orlando news, focusing on Disney and Universal updates as November kicks off the holiday season. They unpack the newly introduced Lightning Lane Premier Pass at Disney, priced at up to $449 per person, exploring its impact on different visitor groups and how it resembles Universal's Express Pass with a Disney twist. They also cover park renovations like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad's upcoming refurbishment, and discuss the excitement building around Universal's Epic Universe, slated for May 2025. From theme park changes to Orlando travel tips, this episode offers insights on how these updates could shape future trips and the evolving Orlando experience.

Kim recently took her two girls to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando for a mother-daughter getaway. Hear more about her trip, learn some strategies for using Lightning Lane, new rides, new theme parks coming, and comparisons between the parks. It was hot, humid, and rainy in the afternoons, but they still had a fun time exploring all the parks. Luckily, Universal Orlando has more indoor rides that help on rainy days. Updates from Walt Disney World Tron in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom - it is like riding a motorcycle but on a roller coaster track. The ride is fabulous but really short. Splash Mountain is now Tiana's Bayou Adventure - this is a two-by-two flume-like ride that has been redesigned. Disney now has Lightning Lane Multi Experience and Lightning Lane Single Experience. With the Multi Experience, it works on multiple rides and as soon as you tap into one ride, you can request the next Lightning Lane. You want to purchase and prebook your first ride in advance. Single Experience is where you can buy a Lightning Lane time slot for individual rides like Tron or Rise of the Resistance. Disney's Lightning Lane experience is better than Universal's Express Pass because they load people from that lane faster. Disney has also changed their rules around their Disability Access service and made it much harder to obtain a pass. Keep this in mind if you have children with special needs and have used that service in the past. Tip: If you want to stay at one of the Deluxe hotels on property, you can stay by renting Disney Vacation Club points. (Riviera has Skyliner access) See Kim's article on renting and using DVC points. Disney is building a new ride in the Avengers Campus and they are getting rid of the Tom Sawyer Island and Riverboat in Magic Kingdom to create Cars Land. Updates from Universal Orlando Note: Universal Orlando hosted Kim's family for this part of the trip. Kim stayed at the Loews Sapphire Falls, which is a Moderate property and does not include the Express Passes. The Sapphire Falls is within walking distance to the parks and guests get one hour early entry. Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure still has very long lines. The nice thing about the Universal Express Passes don't require you to book any times online, so it is less stressful to manage. However, many people have these passes because they are staying at the premium hotels and the lanes load slowly so sometimes you don't save a lot of time (sometimes only about 10 minutes of time savings). There is a Universal Express Unlimited Pass that lets you ride a ride in the Express pass lane as much as you would like, without limits. Universal Orlando is building a whole new theme park in 2025 called Epic Universe. It is going to be further away from CityWalk and the other parks or hotels. It will also have another portion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic. There will also be two premium hotels and a How to Train Your Dragon land.   Other Episodes You May Enjoy Disney Vacation Club tips Choosing a Disney World hotel Walt Disney World tips Universal Orlando's Volcano Bay Universal Orlando insider tips

Scare Tactics: What's Haunting Halloween Horror Nights 2024?Universal Studios has pulled out ALL the stops this year, bringing back some of the most iconic horror legends along with fresh, nightmare-inducing frights. Yeah, we're talking Michael Myers, Insidious, a quiet place (that gets not so quiet if you make a sound), and other horror heavyweights stalking you through the streets. A casual stroll through the park? Psh, not this time. Around every corner is something ready to make you scream like you're auditioning for a horror flick.But wait, there's more! For all you horror newbies or "hold-my-hand-I'm-scared" types, there's plenty of original houses and zones to get you started. If you're brave (or reckless), we HIGHLY recommend checking out the brand-new haunted house that's already giving us chills just thinking about it.Haunted Houses & Scare Zones: Enter If You DareAlright, let's talk about the real reason you're here: those haunted houses. Universal knocked it out of the park (literally) with the design this year, making every house scarier than your ex's DMs. There's something for everyone—latin american monsters, classic goblins and vampires, and devils that have extra long arms and claws, you name it. These haunted houses are meticulously designed to make you feel like you're stepping into a living, breathing horror movie. One of the must-see haunted houses this year, Slaughter Cinema, is based on the latest horror blockbuster, while others pay homage to beloved horror franchises. Whether it's creepy triplets, ghostbusters, or deadly exhibits, at least one house will leave you shaking.See below for our Favorites List1. Slaughter Sinema2. Insidious3. Monstruos4. Goblins Feast5.

Universal Orlando is incredible! You need to visit!  They have a ticket add-on called the express pass which essentially lets you skip to the front of the line, anytime you want, on almost every single attraction.  No making return times or being glued to your app; you just show up, skip the long line, and enjoy the ride.  It's amazing! But, it comes with a significant cost. I recently teamed up with some friends to test it out and see if the express pass at Universal Orlando is worth the extra money.  Today, we're talking about our experience, and the results of our test might surprise you! We're also talking about how you can make Express Pass easily fit into your budget if you decide to go that route. Become A Patreon Member(Add Free Listening.

In the 170th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave talk treasure!  Specifically -- The Disney Treasure, the latest ship in the Disney Cruise Line Fleet, setting sail in December 2024. Before we get there, however, there is a brand new Dining Card Promotion that Disney suddenly dropped on everyone early in the day -- so Jenn & Dave break down all the details (and you can read the full details here!) Then, they take a look at Halloween Horror Nights over at Universal Orlando, including getting your tickets, the importance of Express Pass, and all the Haunted Houses - and their own aversion to them. Then, a good look at the Disney Treasure, which Disney revealed information about this past week -- the theming itself, what to expect, the bars and clubs and lounges, the restaurants, the unique things about the ship - and what will be similar to the Disney Wish, which is the Treasure's "Sister Ship" Finally, both Jenn and Dave made a few predictions for this weekend's Destination D convention - new lands? new parks? ticketing changes? and maybe another Disney ship?
