I think going during the week is better than the weekend. I went on a Tuesday, and it felt less crowded, which made it easier to hop from ride to ride without waiting forever.
I recommend hitting the less popular rides first thing, like the Matterhorn or the Alice in Wonderland ride. The lines build up quickly, but they’re way worth it.

Don't miss the nighttime shows! Find a good spot an hour before. We learned the hard way after getting stuck way at the back. Better to be early and up close!
Consider packing your own snacks. The food inside the park can get pretty pricey and the quality doesn't always match the price. I brought some granola bars and saved a bunch!
If you can, stay at one of the Universal hotels. We splurged a bit, but that early park access was so worth it! We rode everything we wanted before the lines got nuts!
I suggest looking for deals on parking before you go. I parked near the entrance, but if you walk a bit further, you can find free spots that save you a few bucks.
