Express Pass for Early May Needed?

[tweetie]

We are two adults thinking about visiting Universal the week of May 6 for the first time. We are trying to decide which hotel is best and wondering on the crowd levels and wait times for that part of May. Is express pass necessary? Thank you.

Usually Friday's close at 5 at the studios due to grad bash or adventure

Other than that early May is fine
