Q: Can I bring food and drinks to Universal Studios Hollywood? A: The park allows visitors to carry water bottles (maximum 2 liters), small snacks, and special food items for dietary and medical requirements. Soft-sided insulated bags are also allowed as long as they are no larger than 8.5 wide x 6 high x 6 deep.
Most of these rides allow you to safely store items that can fit in your pocket or small fanny pack that can tuck under your shirt. However, all other large items (purses, camera bags, backpacks, etc.)must go inside the ride locker.
If you have the Express Pass, you can easily get everything done in a single day. I recommend buying the Express Pass to maximize your one day at the park (it's doable without, but more on that later). I'd only recommend two days (or 1.5 days) if you are visiting during a busy period.
There are some attractions, such as the terminator one, that require understanding Japanese, as it is live, but for the most part the reception should be trained to speak at least bare minimum English, attractions should have english alongside, and the food stalls should have english menus.
