We're going for our first trip to Universal -- one day, both parks, no kids -- mostly so my Potter-loving husband can experience Wizarding World. (It's not like I'm mad about going, either!). The rest of the parks seem evenly split between properties we're crazy about and characters/franchises we avoid like the plague. I'd really appreciate any feedback on things we should do (even if we hate the properties they're based on) and things we should totally skip (even if we really love, say, E.T.)
Things we have to do
Escape from Gringotts
Forbidden Journey
explore Diagon Alley
Hogwarts Express to Hogsmeade (and back again if time permits)
Things we'd love to do when we're done with Wizarding World
Jurassic Park River Adventure
Jurassic Park Discovery Center
Reign of Kong
Spider-Man
Hulk (he's a coaster junkie; I could leave it)
Mummy
(Is it insane to think we could accomplish everything above if we arrive at opening on a day with moderate crowds?)
I'm curious about
Simpsons (we're not mega fans, but we like them)
E.T. (I've heard it's so outdated it's not worth it. True?)
Men in Black (we don't care about the movie or characters, but is the ride fun anyway?)
Rip Ride Rockit (again, I don't care, but my husband loves coasters)
Things we'll avoid unless you change my mind
Shrek 4D
Minion anything
Transformers
Jimmy Fallon
Fast & Furious
everything else
