HOW MUCH TIME TO ALLOCATE
TOURING UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FLORIDA
, including one meal and a visit to Diagon Al-
ley, takes about 10-12 hours. One reader laments:
There's a lot of “standing” at USF, and it isn't as organized as DHS. Many
of the attractions don't open until 10 a.m. We weren't able to see nearly as
many attractions at Universal as we were at DHS during the same amount of
time.
As the reader observes, some USF attractions don't open until 10 a.m. or later.
Most theater attractions don't schedule performances until 11 a.m. or after. This
