Universal Studios Hollywood™ 1-Day Plan

The bright lights of Hollywood surround this theme park built around TV and movie-making. The theme park is built
around this working studio, where some of Hollywood’s most popular shows and movies continue to be made. Along
with the Studio Tour, Universal Studios Hollywood™ is known more for its shows than its attractions, although The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Super Nintendo World have changed that.

For this reason, we frogs recommend at least some basic planning before your visit. We’ve outlined the key attractions
and entertainment for you to experience along with detailed information such as the location and the best time of day
to visit. There’s a predictable pattern park-goers follow at Universal Studios Hollywood™. Knowing what that is can help
you hit the rides and attractions at the right times to drastically reduce wait times and maximize your time in the park.

If you and your family are huge Harry Potter fans and most excited about visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™
but still want to visit everything else, here is our best advice: Get to the park before opening. Go straight to Harry Potter
and the Forbidden Journey™ at the back of the Wizarding World. Do not stop and enjoy the Wizarding World in the
morning. Put those wands away and save the spell casting and shopping for the afternoon when ride times are high.
It’s hard, we know. You have waited so long for this, but your patience will pay off.

If you’re hoping to explore Super Nintendo World with the lowest waits, at this time, you may need a Virtual Line
reservation, which operates on an as-needed basis. If the Virtual Line is in use, we recommend grabbing a timeslot
via the Universal Studios Hollywood app, as early as you can (it fills up quickly!). You can bypass the Virtual Line and
have guaranteed access to Super Nintendo World if you get an Early Access ticket (grants one-hour early access into
the land before park open), a Universal Express ticket (grants one-time entry into the land) or book the VIP Experience.
The flow of your park plan would depend on your Virtual Line return time.

Your goal is to get on the ride for the shortest wait time and then make your way to the Lower Lot attractions right away
for their incredibly short morning wait times (this can shave over three hours off of waiting compared to long afternoon
wait times in the Lower Lot). Do everything in the Lower Lot you want to do in one trip before coming back up to save
travel time or multiple journeys on the massive StarWay escalator.

You can find show times (and wait times) in the Universal Studios Hollywood™ app and on the digital directories around
the park. Generally, the WaterWorld show is first available in the afternoon and has multiple showings that run into the
evening, so if you focus on getting on as many rides as possible in the morning, you can insert a show time that fits into
your schedule. When you watch the show may vary based on available times.

Other factors that can reduce your wait times include Universal Express™ Tickets, Child Switch (so adults can take turns
riding without waiting twice) and Single Rider Lines.

Universal Studios Hollywood™ 1-Day Park Plan

We’ve created this one-day park plan so you can experience the most popular
attractions with the lowest waits, prioritizing rides that should be visited within the
first hour, and within the first two and last two hours. This plan assumes you are
starting within the first hour of park opening and finishing in the late afternoon, which
leaves time to visit other attractions, characters, shops and evening entertainment.
If you arrive before park opening and enter 30 minutes early, you can try to ride
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™.
