I wonder if the Universal Pay thing works? (The QR code in the app)
Good questionā not sure. I was surprised AP discount couldnāt scan?
We just got off Gringotts and are waiting on Simpsonās. After weāre off Simpsonās, Iāll stop into Kwik E Mart to find out if theyāre up and running. I need to spend some money on gifts at the All Hallows Boutique and Tribute store and need to use my card and not cash

I just asked a Team Member at the MIB gift shop if it was resolved. He said that itās hit or miss. Some places itās working, some itās not. Yikes! And itās incredible busy at the parks.

Would you be able to confirm that the Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts are currently running?
Since there are not specific showtimes, itās impossible to tell from the app!
If you wait until later in the day to check the Universal Orlando app you should see Hogwarts showtimes closer to nightā¦ They donāt show any evening performances on the app until at least 2pm.
Furthermore you canāt see afternoon shows in the morning either. I can use TP to āknowā thereās a Bourne show around 4pm. However, Universal will only list the AM - lunchtime shows until midday. I wonāt know the exact time in that hour the show starts until it shows up in the App.
(Or I walk past the show building to see the daily times!)

With it being Fat Tuesday there may not be a show tonight. I imagine thereās a big Mardi Gras parade crowd tonight!

I think between Presidentās Day and Mardi Gras falling in the same week and the mentioned school break weeks, it all formed the perfect storm of crowds! We lived in New Orleans for a couple of years and they take off school the week of Mardi Gras. A lot of families go on vacation to escape the Mardi Gras crowds at home.

Tom Bricker has been posting about this week in particular for awhile. He has been calling it the āWorst Week of Winterā

Surely everyone will leave Saturday and youāll be fine? Theyāll need a day to sleep before going back to school. I have friends arriving Sunday. It seems like the crowds will start going down by then.

Touring Plans still has Saturday as an 8/9 out of 10 but it drops down starting on Sunday. We have express pass so we will be fine. Also, I donāt mind some pool time if the parks seem too hectic. It will definitely be hot enough for that!
Rascal
Iām hoping Sunday and Monday are not crazy.
