Planning to attend Super Nintendo World during labor day weekend (on Friday 9/4), how is this schedule?

I am planning my one day trip at universal on 9/4/26. This is the current schedule:

  • 5:45 AM — Leave Culver City Hotel

  • 6:15 AM — Arrive Universal, park ($35)

  • 6:45–7:00 AM — Walk to gates, descend escalators to Lower Lot

  • At Early Access start time (likely 8 or 9 AM — confirm on Universal app the night before) — Enter Super Nintendo World, straight to Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge

  • After Mario Kart — Power-Up Band challenges (Goomba Crank, Koopa POW Punch, Piranha Plant, Thwomp), ? blocks, work toward Bowser Jr. boss battle

  • Park officially opens (likely 9 or 10 AM) — Stay in SNW finishing challenges

  • 11 AM — Studio Tour first. Then choose from Jurassic World, Revenge of the Mummy, Transformers, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, Simpsons, Secret Life of Pets

  • Lunch 12 PM: Toadstool Café inside Super Nintendo World

  • Afternoon — Re-ride Mario Kart via Single Rider line if reasonable

  • Late afternoon/early evening — Head out

Does the schedule above look feasible? Also, a Couple of questions,

  1. I have budgeted a lot of time to enter the super nintendo world early access lane. Is that too much or will there be so many people in line into the park for early access? I saw this post about being there at 6, so I wanted to confirm.

  2. I plan to get universal express, is there still an 11am limitation for the studio tour?

  3. How difficult are the lines to re-enter super nintendo world for the afternoon lunch at toadstool?

  4. Can I make reservations well in advance for toadstool cafe? Is there a wait time issue for it despite making a reservation?

Thanks for your help!
