1. Download The App

Universal Orlando Resort have an app that its guests can download and use with the free wifi available in the park.

Its features include a parking reminder (including a place to attach a photo of your parking spot), park maps, wait times, ride descriptions, height restrictions and guest service amenities.

Don't want to wait 40 minutes to ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts? One cool feature is that you can set an alarm that tells you when your favourite attraction has a shorter wait time. This saves you from repeatedly checking to see when the wait time is down to a more desirable 20 minutes.
