Yo pro tip for anyone going to Universal Studios Orlando when Florida isn't a hell hole, get the pass that lets you hit up each park in a day. Stay at Cabana Bay.
In the mornings, wake up at a decent hour and then walk over to Volcano Bay, the water park, with your special pass that lets you there 2 hours before it officially opens, hang out there for like 2-3 hours before people even come into the water park and ride everything with little wait once or twice daily, then spend the rest of your day hitting up the other parks.
When you go to the parks, do Harry Potter early if you're going to do Harry Potter at all. During the day, you aren't getting on without a wait.
Download the app and walk to the rides with the least wait time. You can luck out and gets a 15 minute wait for like the Hulk Coaster or something. Even if you're going to a different park, it's still worth it.
And don't eat park food. It's all absolute dog shit that's over priced. Save it for City Walk food that's a bit pricier but actually quality or eat at the Cabana Bay resort for cheap but good meals. You won't regret it. The only exception is the one restaurant in the Lost Continent, it's actually pretty good and known for having good food.
This is my Universal Studios Orlando Ted Talk thank you for coming and enjoy post-pandemic amusement parks.
I lived in Florida for two years and the only time I went to Universal was for Halloween Horror Nights which was supposed to be a date but the girl blew it off so I just wandered around for like 3 hours. Then I went and watched Thor: Ragnarok which was a good time.
