We are doing the Adventure by Disney Backstage Magic started Sunday night so decided to spend the day at Universal. We are from Soutern Ontario, time change is brutal so we were up super early. We got to the oark around 7:20 for an 8 a, opening. Walked through City Wak looking for breakfast and coffe and nothing was open.
The opened the gates around 7:45 and then held everyone just a little further into the park. We stopped and had breakfast at a place just to the right.
They let people throught promptly at 8 am. We walked right in Minions for the first ride then went down to the lower lot.
We did the Mummy twice in a row, they don't allow bags but finger print locker system was easy to use. We did Transformers next, then watched Megatron come out. Then we did Jurassic park and got totally drenched. We were then able to see the Raptor encounter and hen Bumblebee, decided to wait another 15 mins to see Megatron. Shopped around and then headed back up to the Upper lot. We did all this in just under 2 hours. It was 9:45.
On upper lot, we did The Simpsons, waited 20 mins for that and then Shrek, waited about 10. Checked out Springfield and then ate at Krusty burger for lunch.
Last was the studio ride, it had a 45 minutes wait, it was starting to get VERY hot. Wait was exactly 45 minutes, on the ride there was no breeze at all and we literally sat in the sun for almost an hour. And then it took 15 minutes if waiting to unload and it was brutal.
It was a great day all in all. If I could have changed anything. We would have done the studio tour right after coming up from the lower lot especially if this heat wave continues.
We were all done what we wanted to do by 2 pm.
Hopefully someone will find this information helpful and I would be happy to answer any questions.
