Rate Our Plan!

First time Universal visitors here! We will be there later this week. Here is our game plan for the park, I would welcome any feedback. For reference, the most important stuff for us in the Harry Potter land and then the Studio Tour.

We are staying at the Nite Inn, and so it looks like we can walk to the parks (or catch the tram). We are also getting the express pass. Only part I’m anxious about because idk exactly how it works - would love to hear people’s experiences.

Our park plan is this:
* Rope Drop Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, explore Hogsmeade before it gets busy. Maybe grab big donut and butter beer.
* Go to Lower lot, with express pass do Bowser’s Challenge, The Mummy, Jurassic World, and Transformers.
* Go to upper lot, eat lunch (simpons area seems to have a wide variety?, then Studio Tour
* Finish up the Upper lot stuff we wanna see (water world, secret life of pets, simpsons, etc), do HP stuff again w/ express pass. Eat dinner somewhere in there.

Does this all sound manageable and possible for an opening to close day?

Additional questions:
* How early before park opening should we get there? We’re used to Disney crowds and usually show up an hour+ before park opens
* When does the tram start running? Is there a time table somewhere?

Thanks!
