I’m an AP / regular visitor. I will say that six days is a lot! However, it’s going to let you go at a leisurely pace…
• It’s great that you’ve downloaded the Universal Orlando App!
The parks no longer offer paper maps. The app is your key to navigating the parks. Plus, it will give you ride wait times and mobile ordering food options. Some places, like Minion Cafe, want you to use the app to order food to your table.
• At your hotel there is a “Vacation Planning” desk. If you need to pick up any tickets / passes you can get them there instead of waiting in a long line at “Will Call / Guest Services”.
At this desk you can also get a packet of coupons for discounted food, merch and activities in CityWalk. In particular there’s a good coupon for the mini golf! With six days you should do golf one night - it’s better when all the stuff glows in the dark.
• If you can stay out late you MUST ride Hagrid’s at night! Like when it’s really dark - like after 9pm. (With it being summer it’s a long day, but worth it at least once.)
Also, Jurassic Park River Adventure is way better at night!
• Pack a set of clothes/shoes just so you can get soaked at Toon Lagoon one morning. Plan a morning to ride a few things at IOA then head over to Toon Lagoon after 10am to ride Popeye & Bluto Barges and Dudley Doo-Right each like 4 – 5 times each and be completely soaked! Then go back to the hotel to change and have lunch! Those water rides are fun, but will drench you even in one ride. You might as well go crazy and get soaked. It’s a hoot!
• You’ll have enough days & Express Pass (UXP) that going to rope drop is optional. The biggest reason to go early, IME, is the HEAT!! 
It’s worth getting up at 6:30am - 7am to take advantage of Early Park Admission (EPA) to be able to take a break at lunch. Then come back after 4pm to stay until close. You can enjoy the pool, rest or whatever. Getting out of the sun is key to a good Florida vacation! 
Having the UXP means you will only wait about 33%-50% of the posted waits.
Places to eat that are good value and delicious:
CityWalk - Antojitos, Breadbox Sandwiches, Red Oven Pizza – Try to learn to Mobile Order!
(The kids will enjoy Toothsomes! I find it to be “just ok”. However, they’ll love the milkshakes & etc…)
Islands of Adventure - Wimpy’s / Green Egg & Ham Tots, Three Broomsticks
Universal Studios - Central Park Crepes (sweet) / All WWOHP food, Minion Cafe
• Stay Hydrated & wear sunblock. I realize that you know all that, but I see so many 
people.
• You will be able to pool hop & I’d suggest you take them over to Cabana Bay. It’s got a lazy river, slides and such. It’s 1950 “Americana” themed.
• The premier hotels have the BEST table service food. On Wed. & Friday nights there are magicians that go to table-to-table at “The Kitchen”. I really like the food. It is a little pricey at dinner. This is my favorite place for a breakfast buffet. It’s got everything you can imagine for $32.00 Adult | $17.00 Child (ages 3 - 9)
• A good number of the attractions are notorious for causing motion sickness. Go ahead & pack Dramamine! I don’t have an issue on a lot of things, but even I take it to be safe. Sometimes Forbidden Journey or The Simpsons will make my head spin!
• There is a luau at your hotel! Have you looked into that?
To break even on the cost you have to drink 3 sodas minimum per cup. If you are a big soda drinker it may be a value. I bring a refillable sports bottle. The Freestyle Machines give free ice & water to everyone. You’ll need it!
