Sort By

  1. 1.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Don’t go on Saturdays. The lines will be over an hour for everything

  2. 4.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Way less crowded than Disneyland, but weekends can still get very crowded.

  3. 4.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Universal is pretty empty if you go on a weekday after Spring Break. No Front of Line necessary.

  4. 5.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Weekdays in late April are amazing. Lines are short and it’s not crowded at all.

  5. 2.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Avoid going on Saturdays, it’s the most crowded day of the week. You will need FOL if you’re going on a “Yup, It’s Packed” or “Forget About It” day.

  6. 4.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Sundays are way better than Saturdays. Not too crowded and the lines aren’t too bad.

  7. 2.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    The park isn’t too crowded, but the lines can be ridiculous sometimes. Front of Line is a must during peak season, otherwise you are going to be spending hours waiting.

  8. 3.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Arrive early in the morning and go straight to Harry Potter World before the lines get too long. The park is usually crowded by noon, so try to get as much done as you can before then.

  9. 2.0
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    Don’t go on any major holidays. It’s way too crowded! Every ride has a 1-2 hours long line.

  10. 2.5
    Light Crowds?

    Short Lines?

    I would avoid going to Universal Studios on Saturdays. It’s way too crowded! You will need Front of Line tickets to get all the rides done.
