Dawn! Since you've never been, I would suggest checking out the website to get an idea of the park layouts and what attractions are available at each park. You might want to check out YouTube for ride videos to get a feel for a particular attraction.

Tickets are generally cheaper online than at the gate and there are some discounted tickets out there. You might want to check your local AAA office and Costco club to see if they are selling the discounted tickets. I believe some Costco clubs were selling at three day ticket at a pretty good price. If you can't find anything and decide to buy online direct from Universal, you might want to choose the "print at home" option so you can go right to the gate w/o having to stand in line.

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to come back and ask. There are many people on this board who know a lot of good information and are very happy to share.
