My family is coming in the first week of april and they want to go to Universal City in California. I was wondering how busy will it be during that week. Should I pay the extra for front of line passes or will the lines not be too long. Thanks in advance.

As another resident Universal staffer....in Florida...we're busy. Sigh.
It's Cheerleader season.

Spring Break this year is approximately the beginning of April, and it will probably be busy, but not up to summer levels. Last year this time, we would have generally thirty minute waits for Shrek, and longer waits than that for major attractions like BTTF and Mummy. I might well consider putting out the money for Gate A. But don't expect to see me there. Due to illness, I ran into points trouble a couple of weeks ago, and ended up terminated. :(

Oh no! Now I have no contact at Shrek in Hollywood anymore! Well sorry to hear about your illness. Hopefully you get your job back.

I won't be able to. Under our contract, points don't drop off when you leave the company, and even if I had quit, I'd have to take a job with a different union if I went back. So, it's wait another 90 days to try and go back to Disney, or get a new job in a new career. I'm trying the latter, and hoping for one with Amtrak. Hopefully, in a few months, I'll be coming up with stupid passenger trips.

Very sorry to hear CBeilby. Amtrak was hiring in 99 & the starting salary was $14.00 hr. Think you are in S. A. so very close to the depot for you. Do try Amtrak & Good Luck....but don't leave us :)
