With a Little Planning, You Can Have the Ultimate Volcano Bay Day.
When you arrive, head to the far side of the volcano–you'll find plenty of rides and seating in the back of the park. Better yet, hit the beach 30 minutes before the park opens when you stay at a Universal Orlando hotel. For the ultimate stress–free retreat, reserve a private cabana or a shaded lounger–you can even have food delivered to you.
