For your Island of Adventure itinerary, we suggest getting into the park as soon as you possibly can and heading straight to Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. By the time you get off of Jurassic World VelociCoaster, regular park hours will most likely have started.

Overall we would always lean towards Islands of Adventure for early park admission. The main reason is this park is home to the newest Universal ride the VelociCoaster. As you can imagine this ride can have one of the longest wait times in the parks throughout the day.

Most of Universal Orlando's rides allow you to wear a fanny pack. The Incredible Hulk, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit & Velocicoaster are the only attractions that require ALL items including cellphones be put into a locker.

Universal Orlando even mentions it on their very own website not to wear sandals. Sandals with the little plastic piece that goes between your toes can be really uncomfortable after a day of walking around a theme park.

When it comes to rides, Universal doesn't let guests bring large items like backpacks, camera bags, or purses onto their attractions, unlike Disney.

Tennis shoes Let's get the most obvious out of the way. Wearing a good pair of tennis shoes at the park is without a doubt, the best option for your theme park adventures. With a good pair of tennis shoes, you can make it through the day without any issues.

As a general rule of thumb, the least busy days at the three Universal Orlando parks will typically be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Mondays, in that order.

Plus, the park is considerably more than some other waterparks like SeaWorld's Aquatica. Having shelled out that money ourselves and spending the day at the park, we are happy to say that yes, Volcano Bay is worth the money.

If you do end up visiting during peak seasons or on holidays (when the parks are open late), consider waiting until late afternoon and staying until closing time -- after the dinner hour the parks are generally much less crowded.
