Not sure if anyone is really interested, but here's my results today:
BTW Jaws, twister, disaster didnt open until 10am, terminator opened at 10:30am and the first show of the animal actors was 12.
8:10am Arrived at Universal gate.
8:40am Gates opened (they would've opened sooner but something was wrong with the scanning machines at the gates and they had to use handheld scanners)
8:41am Decided to
rent a stroller for the first time(this might have been the best decision of the day, that and arriving well before 9am)
8:43-8:45am Everyone held at rodeo dr. by security
8:50am arrived at MIB after walking very very fast. Got funny looks from the Simpson CMs (probably not called CMs but I dont know) as I passed the ride since I was well ahead of everyone else but didnt stop there
8:50-9:30 got locker then rode MIB 3 times. first 2 times we were the only people riding. the 3rd time there were about 10 people in the group.
9:40 arrived at Disaster and waited 20min for first show
10:00-10:25 rode Disaster. show was less than 1/2 full.
10:30 arrived at Jaws and waited 20minutes in line
10:50-11:00 rode Jaws
11:10 arrived Twister and waited 20 min in line (sign said 15min wait) we basically had to wait for one group in front of us to enter the show then we were in the next group.
11:30-11:40 saw Twister
11:50 arrived Animal Actors waited 10 min for first show to start
12:00-12:17 watched animal actors
12:20 arrived Terminator and basically walked into show
12:30-12:55 watched terminator
1:00 arrived Jimmy neuron and waited 22 min in line (sign said 30 min wait)
1:22-1:32 rode Jimmy neuron
1:33 Arrived shrek and waited 15 min in line (sign said 15 min wait)
1:48-2:05 rode shrek.
2:05 We decided that since we had a stroller and my son wasnt tired we would go ride our favorite ride, Spiderman fully expecting an hour wait or so wait.
2:22 arrived Spiderman and waited 15minutes in line
(sign said 35min wait).
2:37-2:50 rode Spiderman
So all in all it was a very good day. Renting a stroller was key as we could never have got to MIB as quickly as we did w/o the stroller. Also we would probably have left the park right after the animal actors show due to fatigue.
If I were to do this again I would have changed a few things. First I would have rode MIB a 4th time. There was no line at either Jaws or Disaster before 10am and we basically wasted 20 minutes waiting for Disaster to open. Second I would have done Jaws before Disaster. It seems that Disaster was probably a more popular show but the line at Jaws moved very slowly and there were a ton of people using Universal Express (which contributed obviously to the stanby line moving so slowly). we could've have waited at Jaws from 10:50 or so and been one of the first people riding it, then walked on at Disaster as there wasnt a line when we exited it after riding at 10:00am. i think maybe riding Jimmy Neuron would have been better before Animal Actors and then saving Twister for later but not really sure.
Probably tldr but thanx to everyone who gave me info for today. It worked out pretty much perfectly.
