Universal at Christmas

[DMLAINI]

Any tips for going to Universal over Christmas? And should I make dining reservations?

Stay onsite at a hotel that gives Express Passes. Or at least stay onsite for early entry perks.

Otherwise, plan to be pulling into the parking lot an hour (at least) before park opening.

Have a list of must-dos and hit those first.

Get park to park tickets if you can.

Get the app and monitor wait times. Plan accordingly.

Avoid the Harry Potter parts noon-5 as they are miserably crowded.

Eat lunch early, snack in the afternoon, CityWalk for dinner.

Reservations don't need to be made yet so think about your plans more. Many places don't take reservations so plan accordingly (aka don't wait until you're famished to eat).

Look at the mobile ordering options for meals too in the park.
