Is there an app for that?

We are going to Universal Studios and WDW next month. We are enjoying the "My Disney Experience" app immensely! It's been so helpful in planning our park and dining experiences. We all have the app on our phones, and we can coordinate our plans.

I see a bunch of apps for Universal, but I can't tell if they're the same sort of thing.

Advice?? TIA!

I haven't seen one that deals with food/restaurants.

I have a wait time app that seems pretty good that I got free on iTunes.

Yes they do have an app and I loved it. We were there June 11-14. The wait times shown on app matched most of the time. If there was a difference it was off by 10 minutes or so. If you go to the main page of Universal Orlando and scroll down you will see the app information.

I used Universal's app along with Touring Plan's UOR Lines app. While I didn't follow a touring plan, I used the touring plan section of the Lines app to kind of check off what we had done and to look at estimated wait times for single rider and EP lines.

I think I have the free version of those apps. I was looking for single rider and EP, but couldn't find them. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place?

It looks like it is just the single rider that is listed - it is on the main page for each park. As an example, right now, Gringotts has an expected 111 minute (posted 135) wait with 37 minutes in single rider. I do have a subscription - not sure if that makes a difference on what is displayed.

ETA: I logged out of Lines, and I don't see as much information. It just gives the posted time.

That's prob it. Because right now I am showing 35 min for Gringotts. I'm going to look into a paid app. Hopefully it's not too expensive.

I used UO maps, and hubby used another one but they were both fairly accurate, though at times mine was more accurate than his.
