Not all of them, see the link I posted above and this one below

Are you trying to help me or criticize me?
I know it said I should keep a $20 in my pocket for Harry Potter since I had given up all other personal possessions and I may want to buy something (a drink, snack) before I ride. Is that what you mean?
Or are you just being condescending? If so I will just ignore you like the other trolls. I am looking for real advice. I just want to have a fun trip. Can you understand that?
Those rides make perfect sense why no metal is allowed.
Sorry, I read what I could during my break and I was looking for the cliff notes. I am sorry if it is a bother to help other posters. Please feel free to ignore this thread. I would rather interact with people who are more polite.
Thank you for your post, have a magical day. You are no longer being helpful.
Thanks for this link, but no thanks to your superior attitude. Be kind.

At Universal, riders are instructed to leave any loose items -- including cell phones, keys and change – in a locker or with a non-rider. I am reasonably sure you may carry a wallet in your pocket . hope this helps
No need. I wouldn't call linking to a website as doing my research for me.
I think the tone came when you declared my "demands for info are insulting".
I am just trying to plan a vacation. If you think I don't appreciate your knowledge, don't supply it.
If you do give advice, don't supply it with conditions on how that information must be received or appreciated.

There is a great Universal Orlando podcast I listen too with tons of info on Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. They cover everything from tips and tricks to the top 5 bathrooms in the parks. It's called the Unofficial Universal Orlando Podcast. Very informative and fun to listen to.
Thanks! I'll give it a listen.

We too are Disney vets getting ready for our first Uni in 15 years. Went yesterday to buy AP's (friend got us a great discount). Soooooo - you park and then walk to the central parking funnel where every person goes through a TSA style bag scan and metal detector. Then you walk down the ramp and walk all the way through City Walk. It took us an hour and 45 mins to get in to the front gate at guest services and back to the car. I think the bus for Cabana Bay drops behind the security lines too so you may want to plan ahead if you like to go early.

You will learn how to enter the parks and leave in less than 1.75 hours. Glad you got an AP, it will pay for itself in no time.
Just treat your first experience like staying at AoA and taking the bus to the MK. That takes a chunk of time as well.
Curious, why did you make a special trip to buy an AP?

We were actually in Orlando to visit friends Sat so we went Sunday to get the passes so we can skip the line when we go. We did not enter the park, so we did not activate them yet.

OK, for something like that I would have parked at one of the hotels and if they couldn't help you at the ticket desk in the hotel then you could have gone to the park on a water taxi or a short walk on the garden paths or even hopped in a pedicab. If you had a meal at one of the hotel restaurants they will validate your parking at the hotel
For early entry it is not busy most of the time. I can be from the garage to the gate of IOA in about 15 - 20 minutes Starbucks in hand. Like WDW it depends on the time of day, there are a lot of people going the same place you are.
With time you will find these things out. It is the same as learning WDW
