Lines Universal Orlando

This started with the The concept of unofficial guide of USF recommending the Lines app. I of course Found the WDW app and couldn’t navigate the app without a subscription to realize it was ONLY WDW. So now I have a subscription to both. Which I don’t need. Then I tried to use the tour plans. 2 day, 2 park. However they only say “2 day, 2 park, day 1, part 2”. What happened to Day 1, part 1? It wasn’t in the other park section (I checked both USF and IOA). Then I tried to make my own following the stops in the plan in the book but these custom plans don’t allow you to change the park to make your own 2-park guide. Also the most optimal time to ride Hagrids, on early admin hours is first and is still 75 minutes? Makes no sense. Then all the other rides that day have a 1-7 minute wait. I thought the early hours would allow my first ride to go faster? Too frustrating. I’m going to rid the guide out of the book and follow that. I now have spent $$ on two apps I won’t use. Fabulous.

This app helped my family and me a lot. We went to Universal for spring break during Marti Gras, one of their busiest times. We were traveling with a 6-year-old and two special needs teens and had no clue that this would happen when we planned our trip months prior. Once we realized this, we knew that we needed a plan. So through lots of searching, we came across this app, and it was a lifesaver when it came down to knowing which rides would be the best ones to go on at a particular time. This saved us a lot of time. The only thing I had an issue with was the suggestion to get on the train and go to Islands of Adventure, then go back to Universal. ( We had the two park passes). We made our adjustment when it came to that part.

I used the Touring Plans to create our initial to-do lists for each day, but it was uncrowded on our first two days so we didn’t really need them onsite then. The third and fourth days we were in the parks, we still had lots left we wanted to do. Touring Plans made the difference between finishing the things we wanted to do so we didn’t have to miss anything. A bit of a novice at navigating phone apps, I found it a little confusing at times to get the info I wanted, but I eventually got there, and that’s the only reason for four stars instead of five.
