The Mouse For Less Tips
- The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride! is a delightful attraction mainly geared toward younger kids. This gentle, slower-paced ride offers a charming aerial tour inspired by Dr. Seuss’s beloved children’s books, making it perfect for families with little ones.
- To enjoy shorter wait times, try to get in line right after the park opens or late in the day when many families with young children have not yet arrived or have already left.
- Although this ride does not accommodate a wheelchair (manual or ECV), some of the ride vehicles are designed to assist people with mobility disabilities to make boarding the ride easier. For further assistance, you can locate an Attractions Attendant. For more on disability assistance at Universal Orlando Resort, click here.
