universal studios

Is one day enough to tour the whole park? We will be going on a Monday in October do we need to get the front of the line pass or will it be a slow enough time of year to do without the pass? Are all the rides and tours included? Has anyone done their all you can eat meal plan? Was it worth the 20 dollars?





Thanks

One day should be enough.





I wouldn%26#39;t spend the money of the Front of the Line pass, if it is really busy, you can always buy one inside the park after you see the wait times.





As for the all you can eat plan, we have tried it a couple of times, but usually we don%26#39;t get it, since we prefer to eat in Universal CityWalk after leaving the park.





But if you plan to eat two main meals in the park, it is worth it.

What time is the best time to drive to universal so we can be there at opening.What time is the best time to return to anaheim (traffic wise).If we stayed a while and went to hollywood is it safe in the evening.What should or can we do in the evening in hollywood.




Yes, one day will be more than enough. We had annual passes in the past. Arriving by 10, we had seen all the shows and been on all the rides (including the backlot tour) by 5.



As darkbeer recommends, the front of the line pass should not be necessary.



We%26#39;ve considered the all you can eat meal plan, just because I have a teenage son that could eat me out of house and home, but have never purchased one.




The busiest traffic times are between 6:00 and 9:00 and between 15:00 and 19:00, so try to avoid those.





The touristy part of Hollywood (near the corner of Hollywood Bl %26amp; Highland Av) is very safe and always packed with tourists and locals alike.





Hollywood has restaurants, bars, clubs, movies (including the famous Chinese Theater -- which is beautiful inside!) and shopping. You can stroll along the Walk of Fame, look at the exterior of the Chinese Theater and its courtyard (if you don%26#39;t go inside for a movie), and spend some time in the adjacent Hollywood %26amp; Highland Center Mall,





Of course, Hollywood is only one of many, many neighborhoods in L.A. of interest to tourists. For example, you could drive to Santa Monica which is on the ocean, drive down (a deserted) Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, drive the curvy Mulholland Drive (which runs along the top of the Hollywood Hills) to see a brilliantly-lit panorama of L.A. and the San Fernando Valley. You can visit the Griffith Observatory, Koreatown, etc., etc, etc.




We did the all you can eat pass, and it was great, There are a select few places you can eat, but I stood in line got my wifes meal, then went in line and got mine. we litterally ate 50+ bucks worth of food. This was also during early summer when it was busy. You can buy it inside, but also if you plan to eat dinner at one of the many great places on City Walk, then don%26#39;t do it.
