Just got back from a Universal-only trip and thought I'd give a few thoughts:
TMs continue to be fantastic.
At the risk of beating a dead horse, the place was far busier than I anticipated for February due to a combination of a cheerleading competition and South American groups. The good news was that they were easily avoided since they traveled in large groups, but it still led to some really inflated wait times for slow-loading attractions (Kong in particular). This didn't dampen the enjoyment, just led to a little less structure in terms of planning.
Don't depend on single rider lines to shorten the long waits - the only ones that were consistently open for the length of time I was there were FJ and Transformers; Spider-Man's was never open, and Gringotts was closed about 3/4 of the time. Ended up buying Express for a day to maximize my time and make sure I got all the rides in.
No one accurately prepared me for those Toothsome milkshakes...so big and SO delicious! I highly recommend the brownie one, though I'd definitely get it to share with someone else.
All in all, I had a wonderful time and can't wait to get back later this year!
