My Family Just Returned From Universal Orlando — Here's What It's Like to Visit Amid COVID-19

Universal's lower crowds also meant shorter lines. Its app makes it easy to track wait times, but I found that most lines were even shorter than the published time. We didn't wait longer than 20 minutes for a ride all day.

Universal already utilized a Virtual Line system for some of its attractions and at Volcano Bay, but many more rides have been added to accommodate social distancing while standing in line. Instead of waiting over an hour for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure like I have in the past, I reserved a return time and showed up when it was my time to ride.
