At Universal Studios in Orlando, is the Express Pass worth it? We are heading there in January.

Without a doubt. One thing to note is that they have two types of express passes. The cheaper one let's you skip the line one time per each ride. The more expensive pass offers unlimited line skipping for each ride.

We went this past January, and I would definitely say yes. I can't imagine how bad the lines are in the summertime.

Also, I went in January nearly 2 years ago. I was able to ride whatever I wanted until I got tired of it.

The singles line can be your friend.

I went in 1982 when just a kid and they didn't have express pass then. Hope this helps.

I got the one ride pass in June for me and my family and it was great. Took us a whole day to ride just about everything once. You couldn't use it on the Harry Potter ride but I thought it was worth the wait.

Yes and please be sure to go to the islands of adventure part of universal too. Harry potter land is awesome and I could care less about the movies even. Get a butter beer from there, they are amazing. I think they have nonalcoholic or alcoholic. Also be sure to ride the rock it roller coaster. All the other rides are cool, but those were my favorites.

I've never been in January so I didn't think about it being less crowded then.

When I was there none had alcohol.

Also, other than the rock roller coaster, most of the other rides suck in comparison.

Heading down on Sat. The 1st.
We went a few years ago in late October, and we didn't need an express pass. We got off of the Hulk at islands of adventure, and went right back up and got back In the first row with no wait.
