If you’re looking for the more affordable Uber transfers between LAX and Universal Studios then you’ll need to head to the rideshare hub known as LAX-IT (more on how to get there from the airport below). Here you’ll be able to get an Uber to Universal Studios for around $30 depending on the time of day.

You 100% can make the most of Universal Studios Hollywood with only a single day. In fact, this is how most visitors tend to do it. Universal Studios Hollywood is a relatively small theme park compared to others, with a limited number of absolute “must do” attractions (in our opinion).

You should aim to arrive at the entrance of Universal Studios Orlando between 15 and 30 minutes before the park opens. The walk from the car park is around 20 minutes, so you’ll want to factor this into the time you should arrive at the resort itself.

You’ll need at least one entire day to visit Universal in order to make the most of your experience. Consult Universal’s website and social media channels before visiting to see what’s new and happening at the park during your visit.

Q: Can I bring food and drinks to Universal Studios Hollywood? A: The park allows visitors to carry water bottles (maximum 2 liters), small snacks, and special food items for dietary and medical requirements. Soft-sided insulated bags are also allowed as long as they are no larger than 8.5″ wide x 6″ high x 6″ deep.

Can you do both Universal Parks in one day? Yes, you can visit Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in one day. These are two of the most popular parks in Orlando, Florida. Most people usually stay for a week in Orlando and buy a Multi-Day Park admission pass which gives them a few days to visit the parks.

You’ll need to have a valid park to park ticket to travel between the parks in this way (you’ll also need one to enter both parks if you plan to walk between the two). There’s no need to walk to the front to exit or across CityWalk as this is all done on a train which is hidden out of sight at the back of the parks.

You can do both Wizarding World of Harry Potter worlds into one day but it would leave little time for other attractions within Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure. However, if you get a 2-day park to park ticket use one day with Harry & friends and the other seeing the rest of the attractions.

This park is better for rides overall as you have access to 3 rides within the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter along with roller coasters and plenty of child friendly rides. If you don’t like rides and prefer show based attractions then Universal Studios Florida is better suited to you.

In Universal Studios Florida we currently offer four roller coasters: Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Revenge of the Mummy, and Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster.

The easiest way to tell the difference is that Universal Studios is based more on movies and TV shows, whereas Islands of Adventure is where the fantasy and thrill rides are. The most unique park of the three is Volcano Bay, which is a fully themed water park that feels like you’ve discovered your own paradise island.

How Much Does It Cost To Ride The Hogwarts Express? While the Hogwarts Express ride is free you need a Universal Studios Resort park to park ticket to go on the ride as it takes you from one park to the other (either Islands of Adventure to Universal Studios or Universal Studios to Islands of Adventure).

You can go on the train as many times as you like as long as you have a ticket to both parks! The queues for the trains when we were there were 10 minutes – enjoy your trip!!

Your normal tickets for both theme parks (Universal Studio’s and Universal’s Islands of Adventure) will automatically get you into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. The only thing these tickets will not allow you to do is ride on the Hogwarts Express train between the parks.
