DD17 and I will be going to Universal on Monday 3/12 as a one-day break from Disney. We're keeping our Disney hotel, so won't be staying at Universal. We are planning on buying unlimited Express Pass, due to spring break crowds. (With just two of us, it will likely be cheaper to buy the pass than pay for an EE-eligible hotel.) Both parks are open 9-9 that day. Early entry isn't on the calendar yet, but I'm assuming it will be the studios.
We've been to universal before, so we know what we want to see and what we can skip if time runs short. We haven't been since Diagon Alley opened up, so that's our biggest priority, along with Hogsmeade and the big coasters.
What would be the best strategy for us? I'm assuming we should start in whichever park doesn't have EE, so if that means starting in IoA, would you go to Hogsmeade first or other parts of the park? What would be a good time to leave for the Studios and Diagonal Alley? Since we'll have the express pass, should we just ride whichever rides we want as we pass them? I'm hoping to make the most out of our twelve hours there!
