We'll be on our first trip to Universal this Christmas, staying in the HRH, so will have the unlimited express pass. Is there any lines that are worth doing standby at quieter times, e.g., first thing in the morning, to see the theming?
i stay onsite and use the express lines but, first thing in the morning i hit the above rides early in order to do the regular line.
you miss a lot in the above lines when you only use the express lines.
once the lines build, i use the express lines for the rides.
i do stay onsite for decent number of days so it is not an issue for me to use the regular lines when the general public is let into the parks.
