u/diverdown125

2021 Corolla. I went in for an oil change at 70k and they told me toyota recommends "transmission service" at 70k miles.

I declined it for now, but I also don't really know what that entails, so I was hoping to get someones thoughts on here. It would be about $325

• Partner and I will have only a short weekend to visit (Aug 14-16), but we are Florida residents and live 4 hours away.
• Tentative plan is to arrive late night Friday the 14th just to check into the hotel
• Saturday we will do both Studios Florida and Island of Adventure
• Sunday will be Epic Universe. We plan to stay the night at a hotel and drive home immediately Mon morning
• We want the express passes for all parks. It's just us two adults and we are mainly going for the bigger/more exciting rides

Some things I could use advice on:

• Right now Royal Pacific is $408/night and the cheapest of the 3 hotels that give you the express passes. I'm thinking that makes the most sense for at least one night b/c of the unlimited express passes included for the two parks.
• Since we want Epic on our other full day (Sunday), wouldn't it make sense to get another cheaper hotel for the other two nights? I was thinking Stella b/c of the walking path to Epic and since no hotel offers express passes to Epic
• If we check out of Royal Pacific on Sat morning, will our unlimited express passes still work all Sat?
• After our two park day Saturday, I would plan to check into Stella Sat night in preparation for Epic on Sunday

Does this make sense? Or does anyone have a better way to do this? I didn't see any other questions/comments on here about people splitting multiple hotels during just a universal trip

Have a thanksgiving trip booked to st vincent and was wondering for those who have flown to there before, how far in advance did you book your tickets? MIA to SVD is $830 round trip currently

It's 6 months until the trip and was debating waiting a few months to see if prices will decrease

Was thinking about upgrading soon but looking at roku news, it seems like last June was when they came out with their 2025 upgraded tv line.

Is it common for yearly updates? Don't want to purchase now if there is going to be something new this summer
