Take advantage of early access and fast pass.

Early access is only available if you stay on property.

Be at the park gates 30 minutes before early access open.

Head straight to the Potter rides.

You do the Universal Studios ride one morning, the Islands of Adventure ride the next morning.

Yes it sucks getting up at the ass crack of dawn but it beats the hell out of standing in line half the day for one ride.

You'll get the big Potter ride out of the way then you can wander the rest of the Potter attractions and park.

By noon you'll be shot so head back to your hotel and hit the pool or take a nap.

You'll miss the hottest part of the day that way and be refreshed to head back into the park for the evening activities.

Trust me on this one.
