PAGE 1 2-DAY P ARK PLAN Universal Studios Florida™ and Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ 2-Day Park-to-Park Plan Thanks to continued expansion inside its parks with first-rate attractions and experiences, the Universal Orlando Resort™ is easily a multi-day destination. Harry Potter™ fans and families with teenagers will love Universal’s Islands of Adventure™. The park has an abundance of thrill rides, including the serious coaster The Incredible Hulk Coaster® and the incredibly well-done The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man® and Skull Island: Reign of Kong™. For families with younger children, there is plenty to see and experience within the park, especially the water rides Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls® and Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges®. For toddlers, Seuss Landing™ is a Dr. Seuss book come to life in color and landscape, with the very best play area of any theme park we’ve encountered in If I Ran the Zoo™, and a number of tot-friendly attractions. Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ also has the original The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade™ and the headlining Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™. With The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley™, Universal Studios Florida is now home to one of the most amazingly themed lands of any theme park we’ve ever visited. Through painstaking detail, experiential retail and inter- active experiences, Diagon Alley™ is as close as you can get to being transported into the books and movies. With the headlining Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™, guests are transported inside Gringotts bank for a wild ride some 10 miles down into the bowels of the wizarding world’s most secure vault, where they’ll cross paths with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Bellatrix Lestrange and the evil Lord Voldemort! Both parks typically open about a half-hour ahead of official opening time with a handful of attractions in operation. We suggest you take advantage of this, especially during the busiest times, by arriving at least 45 minutes ahead of opening time. WWW.UNDERCOVERTOURIST.COM 1.800.846.1302 PAGE 2 We suggest staying on-site at one of the Universal Orlando Resort™ hotels and beginning your journey in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Depending on when you visit, it’s possible Early Park Admission will be available in one park. During the busiest times, both parks offer early entry into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Fans of the series will want to spend time soaking up the magic. They can try their hand at the various spells that can be performed around both of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ lands with the help of interactive wands available for purchase Ollivander’s™ and elsewhere around the parks. A word about Universal Express℠: Most of the Universal Orlando Resort™ attractions offer Universal Express℠, or skip the lines access. The exception is Pteranodon Flyers™ in Universal’s Islands of Adventure™. Single Rider lines are typi- cally faster than even Universal Express℠, so consider splitting up when wait times are at their highest.

This plan assumes you are not staying on-site at a Universal Orlando Resort™ hotel*, and you are entering the park ahead of official opening and finishing in the evening. We recommend visiting on a weekday for lower crowds. During busier times, a virtual queue may be in use for select rides. This plan assumes virtual queues are not in use. *If you are staying at a Universal Orlando Resort™ hotel, we recommend taking advantage of Early Park Admission to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ when crowds are at their absolute lowest, with the option to revisit it in the evening.
