Mich's Universal Studios Strategy

Early Park Admission (Universal hotel guests): straight to Escape from Gringotts.
- 2
Then Revenge of the Mummy (it builds a line without Express Pass).
- 3
Midday: explore Diagon Alley at your own pace — Ollivanders, Butterbeer, the shops.
- 4
Afternoon: take the Hogwarts Express to Islands of Adventure (Park-to-Park required).
- 5
Come back for the nighttime lagoon show.
Note: With Express Pass Unlimited (included at Premier hotels), you can do everything in half a day.
