About this app

LINES will help you save time and money during your Universal Orlando trip. Because we’re independent travel writers, we can tell you what Universal can’t, from actual waits in line, to which park will be less crowded every day of your trip.

LINES features include:

-Both Universal’s currently posted wait time at every attraction and how long you’ll REALLY wait in line, based on our experience and that of thousands of families on the same ride.

-New “Ride Now” and “Wait to Ride” recommendations to show whether waits are going up or down at your favorite rides.

-Customized step-by-step touring plans for both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure parks, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter areas of each park. You tell LINES which rides you want to see, and LINES will create a step-by-step itinerary showing when to go to each ride to avoid long lines. You can even change your plans while you’re in the park!

-A Crowd Calendar showing you how busy each park will be over the next ten days.

-Universal’s official app doesn’t show you the waits for many attractions or character greetings. LINES has wait times for more rides, shows, and character greetings than even Universal’s own app.

-Ask questions and get fast answers from our online community of 120,000 theme park experts.

-Menus and prices for every restaurant, kiosk, food stand, and cart in all of Universal Orlando Resort – more than 4,500 things to eat! Every menu is searchable – you can find every steak in Islands of Adventure or throughout the parks, CityWalk, and the official Universal Orlando Resort Hotels!

Our theme park trip planning tools have been featured in USA Today, the New York Times, FOX News and dozens of other newspapers, magazines, television and radio shows. Since 1986, we’ve helped more than 3 million families plan their vacations.

Note: Some LINES features, such as the crowd calendar and wait times, require an in-app subscription purchase to access. Other LINES features, such as customized touring plans, menus, and viewing chat forums, are completely free. Your in-app subscription includes 365 days of access to TouringPlans.com, the Web’s most popular subscription-based site for theme park trip planning.

Ratings and reviews

Worth every penny! It estimates ACTUAL wait times, not just the posted times provided by the free sites. The Chat feature alone makes all the difference, too. Tons and tons of useful info and gives you full access to everything on the website, plus the Crowd Calendar (based on wait times, not number of people milling about) and even a money back guarantee. I joined Lines in 2010 and have never looked back!

Very helpful resource. I have used this app for touring at both Disney and Universal. I feel like the Disney wait times were more accurate, but overall a great tool for planning a Disney or Universal trip. The website is great too. Definitely try the touring plans to save yourself from waiting in long lines.

Was at the park today and the wait times weren't even close. No ride breakdowns either. So far this app has been a waste of money for Universal. It was great for Disney when we used to have passes there.
