[FosterLovesMickey]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good touring plan for both of the Universal parks in one day? Thanks!!

I mean, I could tell you what I do, but we skip all the little kid stuff.

I agree with Silock, you need professional help from somewhere like Touring Plans.

Both parks in a day is a tall order, especially if you are first timers. My crew (2 adults, 2 teens) can get through both in a day if we only do favorites; but we have to start early, on a quiet day, and go-go-go! Note that our favorites tend toward the Super Headliner coasters however, if you have different objectives YMMV.

A couple of general tips:

• Start at park opening
• Pick a quiet day
• Know where you want to go in advance
• Hit the busiest rides first, but try to avoid too much backtracking
• If you want to do Wizarding World, start there early or save it til last (sometimes WWOHP crowds die down near closing)
• Don't waste time with minor distractions if you have a full agenda
• Use the single rider lines
• If you can afford it, buy FOTL passes or stay onsite

Note our best ever day for getting things done was a cool rainy March break day. The rain kept the crowds way down so we got a ton done, but we used the drying stations a couple of times and bought warm and dry clothes at Citywalk on the way out (around 4:00 or 5:00 pm).
