If you're there just before opening: Harry Potter ride will be a walk-on, shortcut out of Harry Potter land to Simpsons for a 10-15 minute wait (will only get longer), see if everything is open in Lower Lot, if yes then go bang out all 3 rides (Mummy single rider, then cut through the lockers back to Single rider for multiple rides since the ride is so short), Studio Tour. Waterworld then go get a Pink's chili cheese dog combo at Citywalk and come back and do kiddy rides, shows before they're gone, re-rides, etc.
my tips (GO DURING THE WEEK) 1. Arrive there early 2. Go to lower lot first 3. Go back up and do the studio tour 4. Explore Wizarding World 5. Do everything else 💀💀 the first 4 are the top !! everything else you can do as you please
Hi i hope you have a fun time with your husband! One tip that I like is that is if you can get it express, it is probably the best deal they have! It will save you so much time! I got the unlimited which means you get to go to thru the express line as many times as you want! and every line time is less then 10 minutes! (I went on a weekend)😁
@@MrNoodlePlayzz Hi, I’m going on a Tuesday, I need to leave by 5-5:30 PM, I’m planing to arrive before park opening. Should I get Norma express or express unlimited? What do you recommend?
A good tip to save you on parking! Do not park at the Universal Parking. Instead, just park by the Metro Station and you'll only pay $3 for parking for the entire day. And you can just go over a walkway that goes across the street to the shuttle buses and you can just ride the shuttle bus up to the front entrance
I just went there last weekend … on a Sat, I arrived there at 12pm…. The first ride I got on was the Harry Potter ride and which was the longest line … i waited about 30 minutes to get on but when I got off this lady walked up to me and my daughter gave us about 7 express pass tickets… which was heaven sent … as it made everything so much smoother. Also they consider one ticket for two people so me and my daughter were able to ride some rides twice. This place is expensive… bring your own food or eat before or after going … water bottles are about $5. Also if you do the Mario world make sure you have the patience and the time … things are not labeled so you will be really confused. Other than that great place to visit.
is the vip experience worth it if you have been many times before? i have always wanted to walk the backlot but I am going on a Monday and already booked early access to Mario land. trying to decide if the VIP is gonna be a waste of cash since I have done all the rides many times but Nintendo land. is the tour worth the extra?
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your video!! Short & informative!! I’ve been watching as many similar Vids as I can to prepare for my trip, and too many of them are just not done very well lol. Keep posting! Thank u very much!
The ride will be excluded from express for awhile...I have a platinum pass and even my express is excluded for ride...the good thing is when reservations needed for Nintendo land, I can still get in....but express won't be available for this ride for awhile....
these are my tips 1. come to the park early like when it opens 2. first ride in universal should be harry potter because of you going early 3. always make sure you don’t lose anything 4. if you’re too sick too go on rides don’t go on it 5. go to thriller rides and don’t be scared 6. eat good 7. have so much fun
Everyone went to Super Mario World opening morning, while all the transformer ride and everything was only 5-10 minutes! I should have done those first because Mario Kart was always 2 hour wait regardless throughout the day but other rides increased to hour too... Big mistake... But Single Rider pass is awesome... I went on Transformers ride like instantly with that option later in the day, even though it said 40 minutes and I still got to ride it next to my family.
Hi we are coming for first time from Australia. Unfortunately the few days that we will be in LA is week of thanksgiving and I have heard it is really busy. As I can not change when we will be in LA, do you have a recommendation on which day to choose that week? We will be leaving day after thanksgiving. Also looking to go to Disneyland so trying to work out what will work. We have Monday to Thursday before leaving LA Friday. Thanks
Agreed on the weekend one. I have year passes and we only go on the weekdays. Even days where the park closes early at 6pm, it's still super worth going cause those are the days where no one goes.
I went straight down to the lower lot when I first entered the park. I was able to ride Jurassic World, the Mummy, and Transformers in less than an hour
Hey I’m going in December I didn’t really picked the dates my sister lives near LA I live hawaii with my 2 kids n husband. Sister invited us to stay with them for holidays so I thought we have to go see Harry Potter world because both my kids love Harry Potter ( ideally I would have chosen sept/Oct weekday but didn’t really choose dates) were only flying a week and arrive on the 29th we don’t want to go on the 1st or New Year’s Eve so it leaves us only Dec 30th because after the 1st I understand the park isn’t holiday themed anymore and I thought it would be worth it to see Harry Potter world all Christmas decorated? So we’re thinking the 30th of December which is a Saturday 😩😩😩 I’m preparing for the worst my kids are too young to do the rides so we aren’t planning on doing any but there’s probably still attractions? Do you think express pass is a must? It’s $289 on that date versus $149 for regular pass… since we aren’t doing any rides but maybe would like to see a grinch show or some of Jurassic park attractions. Anyone else went holiday weekend ?
Question: my daughter has type 1 diabetes and can’t wait in long lines cuz her sugar can drop at any moment, so should we try to get a disability pass or just do single rider?
@@pampa0331 yeah I forget neighbor pass is excluded from alot...that's y I just went Platinum, which includes express after 3p....and more perks for the value....Sry about that...good luck..

Dang. I purchased one for Thursday in early Dec and decided to get the +100 express pass, now I learn about single riders. Oh well. I got reimbursed for the cost anyway with cash back. But everything else I’m def following to a T 😊. Thanks for the info!
@@meme-el2hb Cashback rewards from my credit card - Cap One Savor One offers cashback and one of their perks is you can apply it to recent purchases to cover the cost.
Some of them are unavoidable. I have to go on the weekend because of work. I cannot take advantage on single rider most of the time because I am going with my wife.
I hate my family, I offered to pay the universal express pass and they were stubborn and made the payment without telling me, so when went there we wasted a lot of time in line😫
*Universal Sidious INC* recently ( ¿ with a shrewdly evil purpose ) heavily pruned a row of SHADE trees that would have been highly beneficial for Strikers pass it on( after verifying it online □ twitter has it ) cheers.
I just went today I’m so disappointed we came 9 hours away I left one of my major cards at home they wouldn’t let me cause I didn’t have my card on me I only had my ID card
A lot of us work and our kids have classes, so only people who can really afford it without worry about a job and kids can go on the week days... so C'mon Don't suggest that anymore and help with tips for people who can only go weekends. Period.
Haven’t gone there since harry potter opened going tomorrow with the fam i think we start with the tour that’s out tradition when we use to go the tour is a must imo

I'm going to Universal in September (on a Wednesday thank goodness), and I'll keep these tips in mind! Thanks.
It’s usually really sunny/hot in the afternoon for the studio tour. I’d preferably suggest people go right at sunset.
my tips (GO DURING THE WEEK)
1. Arrive there early
2. Go to lower lot first
3. Go back up and do the studio tour
4. Explore Wizarding World
5. Do everything else 💀💀
the first 4 are the top !! everything else you can do as you please
1 day will ne enough or we need 2 days?
@Andreas Yuniman With the new Nintendo World area I would do 2 days, as you will be at least 3 hrs exploring that area.
Any rides you recommend to go on first?
@@andreasyuniman4041 one day will be enough
@@theicemanfrost Jurassic, Then Mummy, Then Transformers

@@atech2011 I actually filmed my experience. What was really worth it was early access to Nintendo world. Big time.
california is a party town
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your video!!
Short & informative!!
I’ve been watching as many similar Vids as I can to prepare for my trip, and too many of them are just not done very well lol.
Keep posting!
Thank u very much!
can not wait to go in July. Booked a VIP tour. So excited.
Was the vip tour worth it?
@@atech2011it is if it’s your first time doing vip. There’s some minor catches to it tho.
Going on April 8th Saturday, should we get express passes family of 5 (2year old and 5year old). thank s
Also curious going April 6th
Yeah the wait times are usually half of what they say they are on where they are posted
What if we have a platinum pass?? Can we just wait until 3pm and hit all the express lanes for rides??
Not for Mario though
What about buying express in April when spring break usually happens?
The ride will be excluded from express for awhile...I have a platinum pass and even my express is excluded for ride...the good thing is when reservations needed for Nintendo land, I can still get in....but express won't be available for this ride for awhile....

don't drink too much water, you paid for fun, not kill your time and fun in restroom.

I am planning to skip the Mario kart first and play the Harry Potter one first 😅, it is way less people in the morning but will see
@@minlinglin7374 yes, that's the best route to go. The harry potter flying ride in that huge castle was insane...
celebrate your birthday at any diner. usually its at least a free birthday cake
Thanks for the great tips. Will you be able to review the new Nintendo world as well?
Do I need a fast pass during the week?

Hey I would say Mon and Tue are probably the best days since people will be at work
Agreed on the weekend one. I have year passes and we only go on the weekdays. Even days where the park closes early at 6pm, it's still super worth going cause those are the days where no one goes.
Can you do one for 2023? I'm going there in the end of March for 1 day.
These same tips and tricks should apply for 2023 as well :)
Hello. Thanks for this tips. Is one day pass enough for the park?
If you don’t have kids then you should be able to do it.
How does this universal compare to Orlando?
Can I upgrade my general admission to express tickets when I arrive and see lots of people there?
Yes!
How far is the studio tour tram from the front gate?
I went straight down to the lower lot when I first entered the park. I was able to ride Jurassic World, the Mummy, and Transformers in less than an hour
Great tip 👍
I personally don’t like doing the lower lot first. So many people head to the lower lot first because of jurassic.
No, everyone heads over to lower level because of Super Nintendo World.
Me and my family going for the studio tour first hand and having to wait almost an hour with fast pass
Yo bro if i have universal pass can i get express wot season passes?
Cool thank you. I've learned a lot.
Fast helpful video! Great!

Don’t do express with so few rides. Especially during winter. You’ll be fine
I’ll be there the 30th too and I’m a local
Question: my daughter has type 1 diabetes and can’t wait in long lines cuz her sugar can drop at any moment, so should we try to get a disability pass or just do single rider?
try getting a disability pass if you cant do single rider
Do you think I’d need Express in the first week of March? I’m a first timer
no
I bought the 9 month pass back in May. Hopefully Mario Land opens up before it expires
it opens 2/17/23!

For super Mario world. If with a group go as a single rider we waited in single rider for 30 mins and still sat together vs 2 hours
