Steve’s take
The coaster park. Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is the rope-drop priority — line balloons from 30 min at 8 AM to 180 min by 11. VelociCoaster after dark with the lights of Jurassic Park glowing is the best coaster in Florida. Hogsmeade has the original Wizarding World (Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks). On-property Express Unlimited cuts every other line — it pays for itself if you have one full day here.

Want help locking in Universal Orlando too?
Steve has booked Universal trips since the parks opened and knows which on-property hotels are worth the upgrade. Pixie agents are free to use (the resort/cruise line pays our commission, not you), watch for price drops you’d otherwise miss, and pull room locations the booking sites don’t show. Disney/Universal/cruise prices climb the closer you get — booking early gets you the best rate and pick.
