Waldorf charges a $45 resort fee and $40 for parking. Enforcement of parking fees at Universal hotels has been......... lax.
At this time I would be negotiating on my way in.If I was to stay at a Universal hotel and accumulate a few hundred bucks worth of parking charges, could I tip the person at checkout, say $100 and see what they can do about that? :whistle:

I don't know.... or you could just drive past the traffic arms that are set to the up position.If I was to stay at a Universal hotel and accumulate a few hundred bucks worth of parking charges, could I tip the person at checkout, say $100 and see what they can do about that? :whistle:

Yeah that’s not going to happen. There is literally no difference to them being currently open and having HHN in September/October. I work in healthcare and am a big proponent of mask wearing and limiting exposure to others, but Universal has done a great job in their openings. They will likely do the same thing with HHN.I really think Uni may be shocked by the amount of fan goodwill they burn by plowing ahead with HHN.
It’s one thing to miss a non-repeatable event because you have personal reasons for not being able to attend. It’s another to miss it because you are being responsible during a global catastrophe and the multinational entertainment conglomerate really wants you to risk your life and the lives of those around you to help their bottom line.
They've done a good job on the Guest side of things .Yeah that’s not going to happen. There is literally no difference to them being currently open and having HHN in September/October.

Great. But you’re still funneling thousands through heavily air conditioned halls, even if you stagger groups. And to get there, many people need to fly in planes, which are great sites for spreading the virus, and stay in hotels. This is not even mentioning Fl’s skyrocketing case count.Yeah that’s not going to happen. There is literally no difference to them being currently open and having HHN in September/October.

Usually no. Or if they are it’s temporary, ie not your entire vacation.Are the traffic arms always up? This isn't really a Covid era question but one for in general.
If they make you wear masks then why would anyone be mad?I really think Uni may be shocked by the amount of fan goodwill they burn by plowing ahead with HHN.

Masks are great. Everyone should wear masks whenever they go out. But they aren’t 100% effective, and in a theme park environment, even with very aggressive enforcement (which is unlikely to happen, even at someplace like Uni that is trying to make an honest effort) there will be many times when people are unmasked, when they are eating, drinking, and, for many, when they forget or just don’t want to wear them. And because HHN tends towards a teen crowd, you’ll see more lapses then during the day. Plus, many people have to fly to HHN, which is impossible from many places and a bad idea from everyplace.If they make you wear masks then why would anyone be mad?
Do you really think they actually want that?... and the multinational entertainment conglomerate really wants you to risk your life and the lives of those around you to help their bottom line.
Yes, that is exactly what all businesses are doing. Putting people in harms way for the bottom line. I'm not talking about the guests either. By opening up, all businesses have put their employees at risk. And on that end, yes they've contributed to the number of cases. Mostly because of close quarter working conditions, break rooms, and working around guests who constantly do things that put their lives at risk. Workers ARE FORCED to go back to work or lose their job. But no one is asking about the workers.Do you really think they actually want that?
And beyond that it's your own responsibility. You are not forced to go there, no one is. But as far as I know the many tenth of thousands of corona cases that popped up in Florida the last few days aren't related to Universal Studios Resort.
You also don't know how Universal is going to organize the event so it would be smart to wait and see how they are going to do this (if it actually is going to happen) and than react.
No. As long as people keep dying, and we keep forcing workers into unsafe conditions we will not stop raising our voices. We had 11,000 new cases today in Florida. Another record. And non essential businesses being open is the Number 1 reason people are getting sick and dying! Theme parks should not be open with these increased infection rates! Period. Profits over people must stop.1st. They are going to have HHN (at least that's what it seems like right now). Can we stop with the "well it's irresponsible" because it literally does not matter. Nothing you say or do is going to stop it from happening as long as they are following the CDC guidelines, which they are. It's doing nothing productive aside from making people feel bad for wanting to go. Yes, Universal can get people sick. Yes, other guests can get people sick. The bottom line though is that when you walk into Universal you have singed a legal contract saying that you know the risks of going here.
2nd. Universal DOES NOT CARE that you weren't able to go see the event this year, no matter the reason. They still are going to have HHN for years to come, and complaining about not being able to see certain properties isn't gonna bring them back anytime soon. It's not gonna stop fans from coming either, especially after having a year without it.
3rd. CAN WE STOP WITH THE POLITICS
This is literally the thread to discuss the effects of COVID on the parks. This is where the topic is relevant. If you strictly want to talk about HHN30, go to the relevant thread.1st.
