First time at Universal - what are your tips??

[BriarRose0708]

Yes, express pass works for Forbidden Journey, Gringotts and the Hogwarts Express!

Universal does a lot of private after park events. I do not know your dates, but end of April has Grad Bash nights, the last 2 being the 27th and 28th.

Their parks are never open as late as WDW parks except during peak season

Aha, that explains it. We are there the two Grad Bash nights. I didn't know those still happened at theme parks! We will just get up early and leave when the hoards of teenagers gets unbearable. Thank goodness for Express Pass!
