Universal Orlando News & Planning Thread

[bebe80]

Sounds similar to a Stromboli from my local pizza shop

I missed this news…

Universal Orlando hiring for more than 2,500 jobs

[ryan1]

I would suggest @ThorKat should apply to gain UOR benefits…but I fear she might actually have to WORK at UOR!

[ThorKat]

No thanks

[bebe80]

But…but…but…we have this:

[darkmite2]

Not only is Universal hiring more people they are starting them now at $17 / hour and adjusting / increasing the pay for current employees!

[motherofdaughtersthree]

Side job for you @darkmite2 ?

[darkmite2]

Here’s your Toothsome’s Mardi Gras Milkshake! (I don’t care for Ube ice cream or Matcha, so not sad to have missed this one!!)

Ube ice cream, Matcha cream pop tart, chocolate mask, whip topping, mardi gras sprinkles

I’m seeing APH rates for dates in August.

[eightyeightkeys]

Same-it looks they are available for all of summer now!

[Jeff_AZ]

Thank you! I’ll go check …

[darkmite2]

I booked my 2022 HHN dates before summer. I want to say it was in April. I got my $85 Dockside rate booking that early and for a full week. (Hope that helps!)

[Jeff_AZ]

I can only get one day here and there for my dates at different Premier resorts, and sometimes only for one room or for lower occupancy. Too bad … I will probably have to stick with my RPR rooms, which are a decent price and it will cool to try something new. I would save about $500 for the trip if I could get an AP rate, so I’ll keep checking.

I know…I know… I really am an HHN fan after just one time. If I could only go once per year, it would be for HHN! Even now, I’m thinking… “I don’t have to renew my AP. I could get Rush of Fear w/ UXP and make a week / annual visit from just that!”

[darkmite2]

RUMOR ALERT!!

The new hot rumor is that VelociCoaster will start taking UXP soon. Maybe as soon as next week…

Universally Addicated isn’t one of my “go-to” blogs, but I do know they can be reliable. I’m going to wait for any confirmation before I get too excited!

[magical_jo]

Um. Amazing and crazy and interesting. Wonder what they will do with Hagrid’s then if this happens. I mean after the closure of course.

[motherofdaughtersthree]

This would be great! Wish Hagrid’s would follow suit.

[darkmite2]

Of those two VC does seem like it’s the most ready to handle it. Hagrid’s still gets too long, IMHO, to offer UXP. I won’t be surprised if Hagrid’s has to wait until closer to / after Epic’s opening…

[josephmatt]

Hey im waiting for that September drop too!
