Hi all,
A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to ask a question on the Disneyland boards and ended up with someone writing me out an itinerary to follow to maximize the one day I had there. To say that was a life saver is an understatement. This was a person who knew the ins and outs and their input helped my family so much.
My youngest is a Harry Potter fan and for her birthday in March, we are taking her and our other daughter to Universal. I've been to DL a few times and also WDW a few time. But.........I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT UNIVERSAL!!! I started to try to research and just become so overwhelmed as I can't even picture the park in my head. We will be there for one day and want to concentrate on HP stuff. But, would love other stuff woven in. My daughter is 12 and we are all tall enough for all the rides.
I guess what I'm asking is for some Universal Expert out there to give me a loose itinerary I can follow so I'm not backtracking too much or hitting something at the absolute worst time or missing something I don't even know about. We are not staying on property. I know nothing about the park and fear I'm not going to do a good job for my daughter's birthday present. Are there food stops to hit as I'm walking from one place to another? Are there HP secrets? Are there times to avoid for certain rides? What order should I do the HP musts? Are there rides that are a definite no miss? I will say that we do not have to go on the big rollercoasters. We live by Cedar Point and ride those all summer. But I would love to know about stuff that is unique to Universal.
Thank you all so much. I appreciate any help you guys can offer.
