What we loved most about my experience was how genuinely friendly everyone was. The staff and characters waved so often, smiled, and made us feel so welcome, especially when they found out it was our first time visiting. One of the absolute highlights was meeting Shrek. He was just as excited as we were! He gave Sam a huge hug, and they both laughed so much that Shrek ended up holding his heart like he couldn’t believe how funny and joyful the moment was. It was so special, especially coming from Australia and not speaking Japanese, to be able to interact in such a physical, no verbal way. It made the experience feel truly magical and unforgettable. Thank you so much! We will remember this forever.

So much to do and the theater stuff was great. Recommend watching Sing (mostly for the kids) and Rock Roll Monster (forgot the name, but it had Japanese Beetlejuice & English singers). Got the Pass 4 express pass and make sure it either includes the park entry or you'll need to pay that separately. Harry Potter ride was the most fun VR ride experience I've ever done. So sick. Musts for me: -Harry Potter express pass -Jurassic World rides (we didn't get express but got in as soon as we walked in) -Mario cart express pass -Jaws (fluctuates in waiting, but wasn't bad at all) -Backdrop ride

Very good and very serious! Practical too. On the park website itself, it was no longer possible to get fast passes and Land Mario tickets. Thanks to you, we were able to get them, what's more, there were 4 of us, and all at the last minute. ( 48 hours before ) . I highly recommend it! Christine ( France ) 17 Ictibre 25 .

    Fantastic experience.The park is beautiful, meticulously maintained. It feels like being in a dream. We stayed from opening time until closing time and despite the heat of the day and the miles we walked we would have liked to stay there for another whole day. You really never get bored. There are so many attractions , shows and games you can do. For young and old alike. We were fascinated by Nintendo World where it really feels like being catapulted into a video game and the settings are fantastic. Also very nice is the Harry Potter Village where we tried what for us was the best attraction of all (Harry Potter and Forbidden Journey).For lovers of the Saga it will be spectacular.I recommend buying the Express Pass to have a chance to skip the line in at least 4 attractions because for the most popular ones there is a long wait (at least an hour). There are many restaurants and the food is good. Prices are average for amusement parks and there are many restrooms, all super clean and cozy. Highly recommended if you want to have a carefree and fun day and want to be a kid again. We will be back.

    the fast pass is 100 percent worth it. There are so many people at USJ and so little rides that the average wait was 60 minutes. However with headout I was unable to pick a time slot so I didn't get access to super nintendo world until later But we were still able todo alot because of the fast pass.

    The skip the line was amazing, it allows you to move faster and smotthly between attractions. Totally recommended. We travelled from Mexico with the main purpose to visit Universal Studios, it was great, we will definitely do it again.
