of entry. Take a map from the entrance or on the official universal resort app and
familiarize yourself with the eight sections of the park. The eight section
of the park in a counterclockwise route are the Marvel superhero island, toon
Lagoon, Skull Island Jurassic Park, Wizarding World of Harry
Potter Hogsmeade, lost continent, and Zeus Landing. Tip 3: planning makes a difference
remember do everything you want to do in an area before moving on. It avoids the
back and forth which will save you time and walking. Tip 4 there's free Wi-Fi at
Universal Islands of adventures so you don't need data to use the app while in
the park. Tip 5: universals Islands of adventures have single rider lines at
the amazing adventures of spider-man, doctor dooms fear fall, Skull
Island reign at the king, and Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey. Lines move
faster than the standby line and you don't need to purchase an Express Pass
If you don't mind sitting next to a stranger and then this time-saving tip
is for you. Tip 5: if it's your first time on Harry Potter's of Forbidden Journey
then take a standby line if it's not too long. They have some pretty spectacular
effects and then once you go through it the first time then you can do it again
through the single rider line. Tip 6: for your information all outside attractions
are closed during thunderstorms or impeding storms which are usually in the
afternoon so check the weather. Plan ahead so you don't miss riding on
an outside rides like the Hulk. Tip 7: you need a park to park ticket or an annual
pass to take the Hogwarts Express train otherwise you would have stood in that
loan line for nothing. Tip 8: the Pteranodon flyer is only for
children and a guardian per qualifying child. All children must be taller than
36 inches and under 48 inches. Visit the kiosk outside the attraction entrance to
get your virtual line pass then return when it's your time to ride. Tip 9: bring
a reusable water bottle there are soda stations all over the park so you can
refill your bottle with ice and water for free which can save you at least $15
per person. Tip 10: be prepared it often rains in Orlando especially June to September
so pack a reusable rain poncho. You can also use them on wet rides like Dudley
do Wright's rip saw Falls and Jurassic Park River Ride adventure. Tip 11: the wand
the wands and Ollivander's are sold for $45 to $50. If you have
children it's hard not to buy them however save yourself an extra five
dollars. The interactive part does not work that well in this side of the park
The wands are in a nice box and they include a map. Make sure to go to Ollivander's
Show before buying the wand. After the show they'll lead you into the wand
shop where you can buy one. There are so many wands to choose from it could take a
while. Tip 12: consider buying a food plan we recommend the quick service dining
plan. Butter beer or pumpkin juice alone sells for six dollars so this plan can
really save you some money. Universals Islands of Adventure is a top-notch
attraction that should not be missed when visiting Orlando! Happy Travels. Go
