Universal One day..HELP!

[V2000]

Hello everyone!

I only have one day for Universal Studios but I really want to go!

Is this possible without stressing out?

I mainly want to see everything Harry Potter (I know it's in both parks)
I am not interested in trill rides, however I love shows!

Can this be done in one day? What you recommend?

These are thing shows/rides I possibly would be interested in. I never been to Universal Orlando Before.

• Everything Harry Potter (rides/shows/shopping)
• ET
• Horror Makeup Show
• Beetlejuice Graveyard
• Minion Mayhem
• maybe Men in Black

Not sure if there is anything else worth seeing.

Yes you can do HP in one day! Arrive early, go to Ollivander's in Diagon's Alley, then Gringott's. Take the train to Hogwarts, do the castle, then the dragon challenge, and finish with the flight of the hippogriff. On a slow day you can be done before noon! Take the rest of the day to explore Hogsmeade and Diagon's Alley.

Buy an express pass!

A must for minion mayhem.
MiB is fun, but don't miss Krustyland nearby!

Then the Mummy is a lot of fun.

Transformers and Spiderman are essentially the same ride with different characters. perhaps do one or the other if you have time.

Best roller coaster is Hulk, especially at night.

Does anyone know what time the park opens and closes for horror nights? I will not be attended that.

Does anyone know what time the park opens and closes for horror nights? I will not be attended that.

the studios closes at 5:00 pm on the nights HHN happens.

IOA could close at 7:00 pm those nights.
(weekends could be 8:00 sometimes)
that closing time is not set in stone, but it usually closes 2 hours after the studios during HHN.

if you one day visit to the darkside happens during october/hhn period, a tuesday would be a safe day to do a lot in both parks during the day.
regular park hours in late september and october vary but usually closed early.


parks open at 9:00 am for guests.
onsite hotel guests at the 3 deluxe get early entry of 8:00 am.
