We’ve been there three times now and enjoy it way more than the Disney parks! We got the 4 day passes each time and used them for 3 days on each trip. I believe the 4th day was free when we bought them, but ran out of time as we went to a few beaches. Our kids are teenagers and had a great time on most rides. Our favourite areas were the Harry Potter sections, but we are big fans of the movies!
We didn’t really go to any of the restaurants, so I can’t give any suggestions. Oh wait, we did frequent Bubba Gump’s a few times and really enjoyed the food. There are a lot of choices just outside the entrance to the parks. There’s a huge walkway and everything from sushi to Cinnabon to burgers, etc. We also purchased a lot of the Butter Beer in the Potter section!
We found that Universal was just as busy as the Disney parks, but got smart and went early in the mornings and then back for more fun in the evenings. These seemed to be the least busy times. Each time we didn’t leave until the parks closed and felt safe leaving the area. Can’t wait to go back!
