Universal arrival time?

[mizzouchief74]

We are heading to Universal IOA tomorrow...what time should we get there. It opens at 9am didn't know if we should get there earlier or not.

8:15 if you already have your tickets.

this question, does Universal and/or IOA let people through the gates prior to the official opening time? If so, how much earlier?

Yes...it depends on how large the crowd is waiting to get in. Usually it can be as early as 15 minutes but I wouldn't go counting on getting in early. If it happens fine...if it doesn't fine.

Is that 8:15 getting to the gates or 8:15 getting the to parking lot?

To the gates so you can be ready when the gates are opened.

So would getting the parking lot at 8:00 be enough time to park and walk to the gates?

That should work.

depending on the date you go, could determine if you have much of a wait in line to enter the parking garage.


i bet your next question will be what time to be at the garage.......

I'll be there the second week in September, so I don't think they'll be much of a line. On top of that we are staying in a partner hotel, so the only people parking (at 7:00) will be other people that are staying at a partner hotel. So I should be good!
