Looking to make the most of your visit to Universal Orlando? From maximizing early park admission to taking advantage of single-rider lines, there are plenty of tips and tricks to help you save time and get the most out of your day. In this guide, we'll explore just a few strategies and recommendations for optimizing your time at the theme park, so you can focus on having fun, creating memories, and enjoying all that Universal Orlando Resort has to offer.
If you are staying at one of the on-site hotels, use Early Park Admission, which allows you to enter select attractions at the theme park before the official opening time. This perk allows you to experience popular rides with shorter wait times and make the most of your visit.
If you don't mind riding alone and are comfortable with being separated from your group during the ride, you can make use of the single-rider lines. This can help you save time by allowing you to join in with groups or individuals who need an extra person to fill up a ride vehicle. Now please don't think this is a guarantee to speed the line up, but depending on the time of day and the ride it can make a noticeable difference.
Rise and shine in the early morning to ensure you're at the designated area for rope drop. Even if you're not able to take advantage of early park admission, which is typically at Islands of Adventure then rope dropping at Universal Studios can still get you some quick access to rides at most people rope drop at Islands to get in line for Hagrid's and Velocicoaster.
Try to plan your day at the park differently from most people. Instead of heading straight to the most popular rides, focus on going on as many rides as possible early in the day. Then, you can take advantage of shorter wait times later in the day when people are transitioning between parks or having lunch.
Food choices are another one that can take up your time during the day. There are going to be foods you want to try but by eating at non-peak times for these you can indulge without the wait. For instance, one of my favorites is to go to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream in Diagon Alley in the first couple of hours of park opening, there aren't a lot of people eating ice cream before 10 AM.
There are a great deal of ways to save bits of time here and there throughout your visit and these are just a few but remember the goal... have fun, enjoy yourself, and get out there and make some memories!
