Thanks Tim for answering, and for your incredible detail!. I guess my question is (knowing nothing about HP - my kids are the fanatics), is it worthwhile to first stand in the ride-line with DH and kids who are riding and then go in the tour line with DS5 while the others are on the ride? Or...

Thanks Damo. But do I understand correctly that you see different things in each line? i.e. Is it worth it to go once with DH in rider line and once alone with DS on non-rider line while DH is on the ride with the others?

Wondering if I can be bag-holder while I'm with DS (5) doing tour while DH is on the ride with our three other older kids. thanks.

Thanks for reply Mollybeasley - I did check out trying to get tickets in advance but unfortunately, I can't because of the AP which has to be activated at the gates, and only then can be used for the discount on the rest of the tickets for my family. So I have to do it all there that first...

Kathy 884 - I meant to also ask you this in my previous post above - and anyone else out there: On Sunday Dec. 5th, there are all kinds of shows that are not available on the other days that week when the park closes at 7 p.m. This is another consideration - there's the Winter Wonderland on...

Thanks for reply mackeymouse4eva. Yes, we are coming into Orlando really late on the Saturday night (Dec.4)- probably midnight or even a little later - so I was worried about having to get my kids up for early morning hours at Universal (and this would be after checking out at our Saturday...

Thank you again, Kathy884. What a great plan. Here's my next question: ALL my kids will want to feed the dolphins for sure. So while my two older ones are on the roller coasters, is there something I can do with my younger ones while waiting, but that isn't yet the dolphins? If we do it...

Amazing. Thanks Damo. You always know what to say to put one's mind at ease!!

Thanks RabFlmom for your reply. I was wondering how busy SW will be on that Sunday because from everything I've read, the Harry Potter area's best day crowd-wise is Sunday. That's why I was thinking it's important to do Harry Potter on Sunday, to have smaller crowds, and SW on another day...

Thank you Kathy 884, for responding. My kids are dying to do Harry Potter - they really are fans, and we've never been to SW or Universal or anywhere but WDW once, so they can't really compare the two places. Although, if I were to ask them, I'm sure they'd want to do Harry Potter first. On...

Thanks - I was actually thinking of that originally....until I heard that SW is open until 11 p.m. and I looked on their schedule. Then I saw how much stuff there is to do, especially shows with the Xmas Season. And then I got stressed that we wouldn't be able to see the main shows with the...

Hi, we (DH and I and four kids, ages 6,8,10,12) have only four days in Orlando. After tons of incredible help from the Disboards, I decided on three days Universal and one day SW. We're starting our first day Sunday Dec. 5 and have until Wed. Dec. 8. The question is, I see that SW is open...

Hi, we (DH and I and four kids, ages 6,8,10,12) have only four days in Orlando. After tons of incredible help from all of you on these boards, I decided on three days Universal and one day SW. We're starting our first day Sunday Dec. 5 and have until Wed. Dec. 8. The question is, I see...

Bleeps, thank you so so much for your time and generosity in showing me the ropes! I'm a little stressed out knowing there is so much to do there and wanting to see as much as possible in one day, again, since we live abroad and won't be back soon. A coupe of questions: first of all, I...

Hi there. I'm coming with DH and four kids, ages 6,8,10 & 12 for four days to Orlando. :cool1: Three days will be at Universal and the fourth at SW. This is our very first time!! We're coming from overseas, and because we have so little time, and we won't be able to come back again soon, I'm...

Hi mollybeasley, thanks for reply. I love being given assurance that US to start off with is okay! Thank you for that. I do think that's the way to go, and letting them sleep on Sunday is really probably the most brilliant idea - your putting it in writing just solidified it for me! And with...

Fabulous - I will definitely try your plan. I am so excited and relieved at the same time, I'm bursting!! I am totally not a HP person, haven't read one book or seen one movie, but my kids have seen them all and the two older ones have read all the books, and I am just so excited to watch them...

I will get the park hoppers after finding out from someone on another thread that there's a great deal for non-US and non-Canadian residents on park to park tickets (actually for 14 days even, which unfortunately I can't use completely!). So that will help in that debate, and will give us the...

The AP at Universal is $229.99 plus tax ($247.09) for non-Florida residents. Is there a place to purchase the AP for less, or is this exclusive to Universal?

Momblanch, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! You have solved my (way-overdone) dilemma of how to proceed on this trip, whether to do 2 day hoppers, 3 day hoppers, base tickets, which park first, and on and on. I have been so caught up in this stuff for days, driving myself nuts (DH is...
