🎄 LA Universal Studios — Christmas Season VIP Guide 🎢

Last-minute trip? Me too! I bought a VIP ticket after Express passes sold out — and it was SO worth it during the holiday rush! 🎟️✨ If you have a midday VIP slot, arrive early! The park opens at 9 AM — get there by 8:30 AM to check in at the VIP lounge. Enjoy complimentary breakfast, snacks, and drinks while they give you your VIP badge (your all-access pass + Express combined!) and a free poncho for Jurassic World later. 🦖☔ The park is split into Upper Lot (entrance level) and Lower Lot (down the escalators). Upper: Minions, Secret Life of Pets, Harry Potter, Simpsons, Kung Fu Panda, WaterWorld, and the exclusive Studio Tour. Lower: Jurassic World, Super Nintendo World, Transformers, Revenge of the Mummy. 🌟 Must-Do Rides (Thrill + No-Motion-Sickness Picks): Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey – immersive 3D + motion magic! Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash – adorable & only in LA/Orlando. Jurassic World – The Ride – epic water ride (better in daylight to dry off fast). Revenge of the Mummy – one of the park’s most thrilling coasters! 🌟 LA Exclusives You Can’t Miss: 🎬 Studio Tour – Only here! See real filming sets, special effects demos, and VIPs even enter soundstages. 💦 WaterWorld – High-energy stunt show (sit in green/blue if you want to get wet!). 🎅 Holiday Season Tip: If it’s sunny + crowded (like Christmas!), Express or VIP is a lifesaver. For off-peak or rainy days, Single Rider may be enough. Thrill-seekers — Orlando has more intense rides, but LA’s Studio Tour is unique! Already dreaming of my next Orlando trip 🏰 — but for Hollywood magic, this did NOT disappoint! #UniversalStudiosLA #VIPExperience #HolidayTravel #ThemeParkTips #HarryPotterWorld #StudioTour #TravelGuide
