One day at USH, touring plan help needed b/c I’m clueless

[AlohaNow]

We plan to visit USH on Tuesday, February 20 which is the day after the Monday holiday. I have no clue about USH other than we will get the Express Pass for our entire party in order to take full advantage of our one day. The ‘youth’ in our party are ages 17, 20, and 21 and the main reason for going is for 17yo to experience Nintendo World. Should we start our day in Nintendo World? The Harry Potter section is also a priority. We plan to stay at The Garland, so we’ll be relatively close for an early morning start. Does anyone know of a good resource for detailed planning, like the DIS but for USH? Thanks in advance!

No need for a strict plan with express pass! We went a few weeks ago, arrived at 11 am and went right to lower level for Ninetendo land and all of the lower rides. Had lunch at Jurassic and then did the studio tram tour. SPent the rest of ghe day exploring the upper level and seeing shows- our favorite is Water World. Saved harry potter land for nightfall to see the light show on the castle. We were finished with everything by 8 pm. It's so nice not to be glued to an app and to eat what and where you want.

Thank you for the info @Canchaser143 and @China Expat, that is most helpful! I'm usually pretty resourceful with this stuff, but I'm pressed for time right now with planning so I appreciate your helpful answers!

If they’re still offering early entry for Mario land it’s totally worth it, if that’s a priority for you. You can knock out the Bowser ride early.

We also stayed at the Garland and the shuttle was very convenient!

No need to wait for night fall cuz you won't get a chance. I think universal closes at 6 pm in Jan and Feb during the week
