Travel articles, photos, tips, and advice from fellow travelers. Universal Express Pass: Getting Shorter Waits at Universal Orlando
by Michelle Clark on 09-02-2010
 Universal Orlando's "Express" pass allows guests to bypass standard lines at some attractions. Unlike Disney's Fastpass, Universal Express is not free. The upside of this feature is that fewer people will be utilizing the Express lines, making the waits generally shorter. More ...

| GEAR |
Gear to Travel Far and Near:
Keep your ID, cards, and cash handy and secure with a PassPorter PassHolder Pouch, a lightweight, six-compartment pouch with an attached neck cord.
'I admit I wasn't all that sure I would really 'needed' the PassHolder Pouch. Even my husband was hesitant to use it, but after the first day on our trip, we couldn't imagine our entire vacation without them! Our Key Cards, receipts, and money were kept save and with us at all time. Even with the rain, it kept everything dry. A must!' -- SandiF from San Jose, CA

Spectacular Space Bags
"This is in addition to the tip from this week about the space bags. I've been using them the past couple trips for even traveling to Florida (not just from). I've been able to pack 3 people (2 adults and one kids under 3) in one suitcase with the help of the space bags. These also help with those Florida downpours in keeping your clothes dry if your suitcase should happen to be caught outside. On our last trip a bottle of spray sunscreen ended up being broken and leaked all over. Even though I had it in a zip lock bag it still got out and since all my clothes were in space bags they were protected. One t-shirt I'd bought on the trip unfortunately was thrown in at the last minute and was stained by the sunscreen."
