Taking my kids to our first trip to Universal for just one day of our Disney trip. We've done Disney plenty of times and will be taking it easy at Disney even though we have park hopper tickets and staying at the Dolphin.
The last day of our trip next week, we will be moving to Royal Pacific for just one night (check-in 24th, checkout 25th) so we could get the express unlimited + early admission for our universal day on the 24th. All that I read said that we could get express unlimited + early admission even on the day of checkin.
With both the express unlimited and early admission, will we be able to make it through all the WoHP in one day? And maybe a few other major rides here and there?
I'm spoilt by Disney plans of taking a break during the middle of the day, is that even recommended for just the one day trip.
On 25th, we sleep in and check out.
We are doing Universal on the last day of our vacation vs the first day as we want to get out of Disney Parks during the Princess Half Marathon weekend and Thursday will be the packet pickup.
Any tips and suggestions of covering the maximum on a day that we will anyway be tired is highly appreciated.

No matter - we pretty much walked right on, got off and got right back into line, and rode again. By 9:42am we were exploring Hogsmead, and the line for Hagrids at that point was super long. We explored, bought wands, did some spells, and rode all of the rides before we decided to hop on the Hogwarts express (timestamp on pic of us in line is 11:11am). We explored Diagon Alley, grabbed some ice cream and butter beer, and hit up the ride twice before venturing out of the area to ride some non-HP rides. We grabbed a late lunch at Finnegan’s - because we were hot and tired and they only had an hour wait. We ran into some friends from back home while we waited for RRR (small world!), and then headed back to the train - this was about 4:15pm. We hit up all the non HP rides we wanted (except VelociCoaster, which went down while we were in line and didn’t come back up in time for us to ride), and got back in line for Hagrids - we all wanted to ride it in the dark. We waited about 45 mins, and were off by 7:58. At that time there were death eaters out - my kids LOVED interacting with them, but the area was completely packed out.
