If you're tight for time during your Japan stay, you can go for the 1-day express. My friend and I did a lot in 1-day without express (8:30-20:00), but it is impossible to do all of it without express. However, the reason I recommend 2-days is because, for me personally, my time in USJ felt like a lifetime.
