6 Reasons Why Universal Orlando's VIP Tours Are Great

5. Skip The Queues

The absolute best thing about the VIP Experience is being able to skip the lines.

We never waited longer than 10 minutes to ride an attraction and only then for the next ride vehicle to arrive. Often we were taken through either back routes or disabled access points to go right to the front of the line.

When you first begin the tour it is a little bit embarrassing walking past a line full of people to go straight onto the ride, but after a bit you just get over it. You are a VIP after all!

On the private tours, you can do this on the same ride over and over again. It's your day, you can do what you want. If you want to spend your time riding The Simpsons over and over again then that's not a problem.

It's like having the Unlimited Express Pass but there isn't an attraction you can't skip the wait. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts aren't attractions that are included in the Express Pass but once again we breezed through the queues with our guide.

With all of this line skipping we found we had time to enjoy some rides that we might have usually overlooked. I was able to ride so many attractions that for one reason or another I've never gotten around to. It was a day of doing things we'd never done before, and we found some new favourites because of it.
