Help - need advice on x-mas or april visit

[cheetara]

I think I may be driving myself insane, but here goes

I have an option right now of going to Universal the week of Christmas this year (staying offsite) with some christmas special promo offers for a hotel. What are the crowds like during this time (12/23 - 12/28) in the parks? :confused3

Or should I just wait and go in April 12-18, 2008 when the crowd levels are lower?

I've never been to Orlando and so I have no knowledge what it's like in the parks, weather, christmas, etc. Any help would be great . . . :confused:

I have heard that crowds and prices are very high in April as well. Weather is beautiful though.

I would go with April because it will be after Easter and not likely AS busy as Christmastime....you don't want to go to the parks without staying onsite for the unlimited EP at the holidays :scared: I'd say go in April ...but that's mho.

Thank you both so much for your advice, I had a feeling that would be the case, and by what Universal has posted on their site now it says the times we would go in April is actually regular/low peak times. SO I will continue with making my plans for April '08 now. Thanks again for your help & your opinions do help! :banana:
