UPDATE: As of 4:49PM both Universal parks are now open to all guests.
Universal Orlando Resort is a popular place to be over spring break this year!

The theme parks at Universal Orlando function on a first-come, first-serve basis. So, unlike Disney World’s Park Pass Reservations, guests aren’t required to book a ticket into the park in advance and can just show up when they’re ready to hit the parks. And, as vacationers are spending their spring break taking on the theme parks, we’ve seen both parks (and even the water park) fill to capacity early in the day. And, today is no different.
As of 11:04AM this morning, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are at capacity. Universal Orlando Resort shared the news early this morning on their Twitter account adding that they do believe that the parks will reopen to more guests later today.
Today, April 2nd at 11:04 am, Universal Studios Florida & Islands of Adventure have reached capacity. We anticipate reopening later this afternoon. For updates, please call our capacity hotline: 407-817-8317 pic.twitter.com/YV8v3S24Cw
