    It was already much more crowded today than on Thursday.

      I booked a makeup & styling session, a travel photoshoot, and rented two outfits. Stayed at the NUO Hotel, used early park admission, bought a set of three Express Passes, and got a 1.5-day ticket. I bought an owl plush and then got chosen for the wand interaction show! The emotional value and overall experience were totally maxed out. The photoshoot pictures turned out amazing. My feet were absolutely killing me, though. Even with my Disney annual pass, it's been a while since I spent a whole day at one park. However, the merchandise really isn't as good as Shanghai Disneyland's. I couldn't bring myself to buy much spontaneously. Still, I ended up buying 2000 RMB worth of products, pretty much forcing myself. After such a great time, I guess the next visit will be after the new land/park area is built.

        Haha, so it seems the main reason we didn't find it fun is because we're poor.

          It's easy to get into Universal, but truly enjoying it has a much higher bar. You really can't understand die-hard fans like us – just standing on Hogsmeade street for a bit can bring tears to our eyes, and the Forbidden Journey is a guaranteed tearjerker. P.S. It's my third year as an annual passholder, and the tears still flow readily.

            Universal Studios Japan is one thing, but I really can't enjoy Universal Studios Beijing.

              It's genuinely boring, lacks atmosphere, and doesn't have much replay value. Plus, it's crowded and the park itself feels small.

                A 400 RMB ticket, and it feels like 399 RMB of that is just for photo ops. Not much actual fun to be had.

                  Universal Studios Beijing and Shanghai Disneyland? I think they're both just okay, nothing special.

                    If you ignore the IP hype, I honestly think some Fantawild parks are more fun.

                      The queues were insane when I went; it just wasn't worth it.
