[USJ] Universal Report After Golden Week! Is it really less crowded...?!

Universal report the week after Golden Week 🌏🌈

💰: 9,400 yen (Adult)
⏰: 09:00–19:00

With the Expo starting, is Universal less crowded?! There were rumors, so I actually went to check it out~ 🌏🌈 (Weekday)

Arrived before 9:00 🚉
Entered earlier than the official opening time ✨

Right after opening, Nintendo World area was being guided without entry tickets, so I headed there first!
At the area entrance, the end of the Donkey Kong attraction line was right there, so I joined the line as it flowed...
Moved through the area while waiting in line for about an hour 🚶
Finally reached the entrance of the Donkey Kong attraction, and the wait time showed 220 minutes!!!
Having already waited an hour and thinking about waiting another 3 and a half hours, I felt hopeless and gave up 🥶🥶
Left the line and moved to other attractions 😢
I saw many others doing the same 👀

After leaving the line, Yoshi’s attraction had a 40-minute wait!
Actually waited about 30 minutes and got on 🥚
Then went straight to the Mario Kart attraction 🏎️
I was able to ride and enjoy it after about an hour 🏎️🪽🐢

I didn’t buy the Mario band, but it makes you want to yell “Yahoo”... 😂❔ lol

Wandered around and enjoyed the Nintendo area for a while before heading outside the area 🔭🍄😌✨

Later, checking the app and such, since it was a weekday, it seemed possible to enter with timed tickets without a lottery 💡
The Donkey Kong attraction stopped at least three times while I was watching... (I don’t know why 💦)
Even after reopening, the wait time showed 90 to 200 minutes ⏰

Other attractions besides Nintendo had waits like: Hollywood Dream 90 minutes, Jurassic Park 30–45 minutes, Harry Potter 45 minutes, Minions 40–50 minutes, 20–30 minutes, etc. 💡 (Times I saw 💦)

Restaurants were smooth to buy and eat at even during lunch without waiting for seats ✨
Overall, it felt less crowded than usual 🤭
So maybe the theory that Universal is less crowded is true! 💡✨
Most of the guests seemed to be from overseas❓❗️ (50-80%) (My observation. lol)

That’s my subjective report 😂😂
