EXCITED AND FUN - it never gets old coming here though it's been our fifth visit. There are always something different. When you get to Universal Studio, you should get prime/preferred parking which allows you to park closer to the entrance of you have small children. You also should purchase your tickets ahead of time so you do not have to wait in line wasting time . I bought my tickets ahead of time with Undercover Tourist and they mail the tickets to me free of charge. Please note that I'm not affiliate or benefit in any ways mentioning their name. You also need to have a strategy before you get there: which theme park to go first: Island of Adventure or Universal Studio. In both theme parks, I divide it in three categories: roller coaster rides for the brave hearts, rides for youngsters like Dr Seuss train, games & sightseeing, and food line. Average wait time for popular roller coaster is about 60 minutes and if you can afford it, purchase Universal Express tickets which gets you to your favorite rides faster. Average wait time rides for small kids and faint hearts is about 20 minutes. For food, you need to decide what you like to eat because it can cut into your budget and time waiting in food lines. If you have a small child, you should bring a stroller where the child can sleep and you can bring snacks and water. I would recommend you bring a stroller any way with younger or not so you can bring your jackets, your favorite snacks and drinks so you don't waste time and money buying expensive food and drink. A slice of pizza will cost you $15, a bottle of water costs you $5. I recommend you buy a 2 days pass: one theme park a day.
