2 parks in 1 day on Day of Arrival

[Sbunit]

We will be arriving in Orlando on Saturday Dec 10th very early in the morning (just before 9am) and plan to drive straight to Universal. We are spending our first night in Orlando at Universal before spending the rest of the week at Disney

We are 4 adults planning to do both parks in one day just hit all the major attractions/thrill rides (skiing out on any shows or lesser popular rides) and of course will have FOTL since we will be hotel guests. Can you guys please give us a strategy on how to approach which park first if we plan to get there no later than 1030am TOPS.

Should we do Forbidden Journey first or leave that towards the end of the day considering possible crowds? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Dec. 10 should be very low crowds. I think you can pretty much do it however you want. Since you are staying onsite, hit WW first thing and then just do whatever you want. The parks will both probably close by at least 7 pm.

Remember you will just be able to do the highlights of both parks.

No matter what you do it's still going to be commando touring.. Even with FOTL
Do IOA first that always seems the most crowded. Do FJ single rider... If you don't mind getting split up.. Saves a lot of time ohh and don't take any bags up to the ride. Leave them with someone that might not be going on the ride.. The locker thing is the worst and will waste a lot of time..

If you use a fanny pack, you will not have to store your stuff in a locker. Many rides make you use one, so this will save a lot of time.
