Head out was quick and easy-I had no problems with my fast pass for Universal. I do prefer Disneyland over Universal as there are not as many rides but Harry Potter and Mario were great fun.

Universal is a good theme park and you'll have a great time, but if you're familiar with American parks, you'll be disappointed by its small size. There are a dozen attractions, each with a theme movie (including Mario), and that's it. Forget about all the other universal films. No movie-themed attractions either. If you don't have much time in Japan, I highly recommend the fast pass, which lets you do the whole park in a single day.

Flying Dinosaur was terrific. Unfortunately, Nintendo World was far too crowded despite the time-limited entry. We really had to squeeze through the crowds.
