Second, go to Adventure City, Castle Amusement Park, and Scandia. All three of those are better than Universal hands down...sorry Joey!

Awee, I really liked USH better than USO and it definately shouldn't be missed.

 

Act real nice around the right cast at DLR and you could get a dream fastpass

 

Have fun!

I found with USH that a good strategy to get the main rides done is to arrive at park opening and get on Back to the Future first, then just jump on the escalator and go on Jurassic Park and Mummy since they open 30mins later, check out a few of the lower lot attractions since it will be quiet down there, and then head back up and see the rest of the park.

USH was a really fun park IMO and didnt leave me dissapointed.

If you pick up a hooker... use a condom. Better yet... don't pick up any hookers.

Here are my tips.

 

1.) Early as possible to DL, if you don't have a pass or a special offer you have to redeem at gate , I would print out tickets at home - cuts down on the line. (true of Universal too, print tickets @ home)

 

2.) Head to Nemo first thing, if the line is going to take a few minutes, pick up fastpasses to Space MT either before getting in line for Nemo or having another member in the party do it while in line for Nemo.

 

3.) Finish T-land, head toward Jones, back to Haunted Mansion, then Splash. Pirates' line does move quicker than any of those three. I would prioritize the major attractions in each land first, and then revisit the lands latter on another lap to pick off the 2nd tier attractions.

 

In general, never turn down an opportunity for a fastpass on the way to another attraction or for rerides later in the day. People tend to get very territorial over fireworks viewing spots, so keep that in mind. If you have the time/money, I would park hop DL & DCA.

 

Universal.

 

I would actually skip the upper lot completely upon park opening and head down to Jurrasic Park and Mummy (slowest moving line when busy). Universal is also better on a weekday when production is happening on the backlot tram tour, far moreso than the weekend. Skip food in park for food on the Citywalk, like Bubba Gump. If your'e at the park early, then will try to sell you on valet parking, it's not worth it.

 

Have a good time.
