| Universal Express On Site Hotel Quick Question about Universal Express for those staying at one of the US hotels. My family will be staying at the Hard Rock in April. Does anyone know when you can get your express pass? We will be coming over from Disney on Thursday and I am wondering should I count on the pass for all of Thursday or just after the Universal official check-in time?

| I would guess they would give you your room card when you check-in, whether your room is available or not. That's what you use for the Universal Express lines. When you are done at the park and go back to your resort, they should be able to tell you your room number. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to use the express pass prior to check-in time, as you can use the Express pass until the end of your check-out day.

| Thanks! I hope that is the case because our flight out is early morning so we really won't be able to utilize the pass on that day.

| That's the way it went down when we stayed at the Hard Rock. Our room wasn't ready when we got there, so they just gave us our room keys and we headed off to the parks and Express Pass'd away! When we came back later in the afternoon, I think we stopped at the desk and they activated the keys for our room.

| We stayed at Hard Rock last May, and that was our experience. Our room was not ready when we arrived, we were given our room key cards and went to IOA. My wife stayed at the hotel to relax after the drive. She called us with our room number when it was ready. and the girls used express pass from the moment we entered the park. |

| Your room is good all day the day you check in, and usually until 3pm on the day you check out, although I've read of cases where people used their cards all day of checkout day. We always arrive at the hotel before the parks open so we can get out rooms keys and head to the parks.

| From what I've heard, the room key is good from 7 am on your check-in day to midnight of your check-out day. Make sure you flash your room key at the Universal Express entrance. If you flash anything else, you might get arrested.

| Barry - Thanks for making me laugh this morning. Since I'm celebrating my 40th birthday while there, I'm sure all will be grateful if restrain myself from unnecessary flashing.
