Express Pass (UOR’s version of FP) can be rather pricey, but you get unlimited XP for free if you stay at a UOR resort, so a split-stay between WDW and UOR might save you some money. Also, you get XP for both check-in and check-out days, so you get two days of XP for one night’s stay.
Liner Daily Tip #34 – WWoHP Early Entry – Posted 11/22/13
WWoHP has 1-hour early entry every day for guests at UOR resorts. However, if you get the tickets with transfer from Dreams Unlimited you may also get early entry Universal Orlando Tickets with Round-Trip Transportation from Walt Disney World. Note that this is an unadvertised benefit, so there are no guarantees that you will get early entry. However, this has worked for many Liners.
EDIT: This is believed to no longer work. The last report I have seen of it working was 01/17/14, and I saw a report that it did not work in August 2014. However, back when it was working there were occasional reports of it not working for certain individuals, so YMMV.
