One of the best things about Universal Orlando Resort — especially during the pandemic — is that it is that you can park hop between Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Park hopping is something Disney World has done away with for now, so it is exciting for Florida residents and visitors to still have the option to do so at Universal. And now, park hopping at Universal just became even easier!  Previously, if visitor wanted to jump from Islands of Adventure to Universal Studios, they had two choices. One was to enter the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and hop on the Hogwarts Express. This gave people a super fun and magical park hopping experience, but it came with a longer wait time to board the attraction. The second option was to leave your respective park and enter the next. The only issue with this is that Universal Orlando has been hitting capacity very often, especially on weekends, and if you left a park to enter another and it was at capacity, you would lose your spot in the previous park and have to join a ‘wait list’ to see when you could enter. Universal has now found a third option that their guests can use and it lets you go backstage! Expedition Theme Park (@ExpThemePark) took to Twitter to showcase that Universal now has a backstage walkway opened to get between both parks.
It seems that visitors still need to check-in with a Universal team member before entering, but from the above photo, it looks like the crowd size using this method of park hopping is very small, which would save you lots of time. In Islands of Adventure, you exit the park from Seuss Landing and subsequently travel to Universal Studios backstage — which for many guests, may be a new experience entirely! Considering crowds at Universal Orlando Resort have been growing, it is great to see the theme parks are expanding guest walkways and travel paths in order to help spread the crowds and promote social distancing. Have you found Unviersal crowds to be very large? View Comments (5) Post navigationHi guys! My wife and I brought a park hopper for one day in March, and we want to visit both Islands and Studios for sure, especially for the Harry Potter stuff. It will be our first time. We know that one option is taking the Hogwarts Express between parks. But we’re confused on how we can simply walk to the other park? Don’t we have to go through security lines all over again? Do we have to go through City Walk? Just want to find ways to make the walk as efficient as possible without being bogged down with security lines or whatever. If anybody could please help clarify on what it’s like to walk between parks, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! Monday, November 16, 2020 - 12:24
Although the 2-Park - 1-Day Ticket for Universal Orlando Resort is more expensive than the standard 1-Park - 1-Day Ticket, it is a very popular option for guests as it allows you the flexibility to visit both Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure on the same day. Before this week, the usual two ways guests had available to them of park hopping between Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure was to either simply exit one park and then queue and enter the other. The much more exciting way, although perhaps more time consuming, was to ride the Hogwarts™ Express between Hogsmeade™ Station and King's Cross Station. With increased attendance expected over the holiday period since Universal Orlando Resort kicked off Christmas Celebrations on November 14, there appears to be a third park hopping option that will be available to guests choosing the 2-Park - 1-Day Ticket. On Saturday November 14, Expedition Theme Park tweeted that a quicker way to skip between Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure was open. If you are in Islands of Adventure the entrance to this walk way is in Seuss Landing which then leads backstage and surfaces at Universal Studios Florida by the brake run to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and emerges out on the pathway past Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.
It is expected that this option won't necessarily be available every day and could just be saved for busier days.
