Pomcoach - Universal now sells something called Express Pass Plus. It costs (or did last weekend) $21.54 per person including tax and allows you front of the line access to each attraction once in the park in which you purchased it. Please note that whether you stay onsite or purchase the EPP or take advantage of the regular Express Pass, this does not necessarily mean you get to cut in front of everybody waiting in the standby/normal line. It DOES mean you will get on/in the attraction within fifteen minutes of entering the Express line. Greeters at each attraction will direct you.

To the person who noted that the Holiday Inn at 1805 Hotel Plaza Boulevard has dropped off the radar (and to anyone else interested :) I had the same experience Wednesday morning - the only 3.5 star property showing up was that one with just a pool. However, later in the day I tried again and sure enough - I got it! February 5 - 10 for $35 a night, total with taxes and fees $201.75. The best rate I was able to find on my own for this hotel was $89 per night.
