Leaving in 2 days, have Questions

[Zandy595]

I heard somewhere that you don't have to pay for parking at CityWalk if you go after 6pm. Is that true?

Does IoA or US have a parade or fireworks?

Where is a good place to have dinner at US? Nothing too expensive, but a table service place would be nice.

Has anyone ever used Hard Rock's online PX List (priority seating)? I set up a time and got a confirmation #, now what do I do? Do you still have to wait in line?

1) No, you don't have to pay for parking after 6pm
2) Not this time of year
3) Margaritaville is nice and not too expensive
4) Give the confirmation number to the bouncer.... I mean hostess at the door and she will tell you what you need to do next.

Thanks for the answers. Now I have more questions.

Has anyone lost their glasses while riding the Hulk coaster?

If you take a backpack to the park, where do you put it when you ride on the roller coasters?

Is there a touring stragedy posted anywhere? I tried to figure out a plan by looking at the maps on UniversalOrlando.com, but I don't know if it's going to work. At IoA we plan to start at Marvel Island >> Toon Lagoon >> Jurassic Park >> The Lost Continent >> and end at Suess Landing.

At US we'll start at Production Central >> New York >> San Francisco/Amity >> World Expo >> Maybe KidZone >> and probably skip Hollywood.

How long of a walk is it from IoA to US?

We're trying to make the most of our time because we only have 1 day - 2 parks tickets.

I wear my glasses on everything, never had a problem w/ them on Hulk. And they are rather loose fitting. Now keys in my front shirt pocket on Mummy is another story...................

The attractions where you can't take loose articles on them have free lockers nearby. No idea though if those lockers are large enough for a backpack. (I always go into parks with no loose articles so don't have much experience w/ the lockers)

I've never lost my sunglasses on Hulk.

lockers at MIB, Hulk, and DD are free for the first hour and will fit a backpack as long as you're not packing to scale Everest. they're roughly 1'X1'.

IOA to US is approx. 5 minutes. the same works in reverse.

the counterclockwise tour of both US and IOA is usually the best way to go.

So you think my plan is backwards. What about Hulk? I thought the idea was to do that as early as possible to avoid the crowds later in the day?

I would stick to your plan and start at Marvel Super Hero Island. The waits will get longer as the day progresses.

IMO, there is no other option than to hit Marvel first. After that, its debatable though. I would actually hit Seuss after Marvel and then head counter clockwise ending with Toon Lagoon. The earlier you hit DD the better, because they usually only run 1 train on each track in the morning hours which obviously makes the lines move slower.

After you finish IOA, walk over to USF and then hit Mummy and then MIB first, and then really anything else you are interested in.

at 12:30 in the morning, I'm not good with directions. I meant clockwise, especially at US. at IOA, definately start to the left and hit Marvel attractions first. you can continue to Toon Lagoon, or double back into Seuss Landing.

Inside US my favorite place is Finnegan's
In city walk it's NBA city or Margarita.
