We have been to WDW several times but have not made it to Universal yet.

We are looking at going to Universal, mid-week, the last week of May.

We definitely want to stay on-site and leaning towards a deluxe to get the free Express Passes.

Our family is 5. But, we are thinking about taking our nephew with us. Looking for recommendations on how to save some money, traveling with 6 people.

Short of getting a suite, it looks like we have no choice but to get 2 rooms.

I came across something that said if you have an annual pass you can save a % on rooms and tickets. Can anyone verify if and how much of a discount for passholders? I could buy 1 annual pass no problem.

We will be getting 4-day tickets with park-to-park option.

Any other suggestions for a first trip?

Which resort is closest to the parks? would like to be able to take boat or walk.

Anything not to miss at the City Walk?

The kids will be 7, 11, 11, 13.

Any and all insight is greatly appreciated!

We will be driving to Orlando for the first time, so will have a car. but doubt we will bother leaving Universal property while we are there.

Thanks!
