I'm OK skipping anything that is a clone of a ride in Universal Hollywood. Appreciate the help!
Originally Posted By sjhym333 2 days is plenty of time to do both parks. We are in Spring Break here so if you can afford XPress pass you may want to go that route. It may be pricey. The Simpsons is the same attraction so you can skip that. The Mummy and Jurassic Park, though similar are different from Universal Hollywood. Everyone runs to Harry Potter first thing in the morning at IOA. Hotel guests get in an hour earlier. It will be busy all day. You may want to do Single Rider, though you will miss some of the best parts of the queue. t If you spend all day at the parks, I think you will be able to do most everything there is to see.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip You should have no problem. We hit all the highlights at Universal in two days, spending about 4 hours at the Studios and 6 hours at Islands of Adventure. That was during October in the middle of the week... NOT a very crowded time. But with two full days and the parks staying open later (they closed at 6PM when we were there) I don't think you will have a problem.
Originally Posted By Parteecia Was just there last Friday and Saturday. Spent all day Friday at IoA. Headed to WWoHP with hotel early entry -- as did everyone else. Did Ollivander's first (10 minute line then; later we heard people being warned of a 3 hour wait), then FJ (25 minute line). By the time we came out FJ's line was 75 min. That was right around regular opening time. Worked our way around the rest of the park after that. I did Spiderman single rider which was about 15 minutes; regular line was an hour. The whole park got pretty busy by mid-morning and WWoHP was crazy crowded. Saturday was a half day at US. It did not get very busy while we were there. We had plenty of time to do what we wanted. You will have plenty of time for US and probably for IoA. You can always upgrade to Express in the park if you decide you need to. If we hadn't been flying out Saturday evening I might have gone with their park-hopper and returned to IoA.
