2 Parks, one day, no Express Pass in Early March

[craigdad]

Will be arriving in Orlando Monday March 9th (staying at the Nick Resort) for first trip dedicated to visiting the parks, leaving Saturday the 14th. We're trying to hit US/IOA, Sea World and Busch Gardens during this time. The big question is, can we hit both US and IOA in one day with no Express Pass? We have three kids, ages 2, 4 and 9. Also, since we're doing the parks Tuesday-Friday, is there any one day of the week we would be better off going to a specific park? Our plan is to spend one day at each park, and then have the other day of our trip open to revisit (2nd day free at US/IOA and Sea World) if we want or have a free day to spend at the pool at the hotel. Any feedback on this is appreciated!

I don't think you could do both parks in a single day and do everything with three children. Those kids are going to be completely worn out...even if you go during the week. I'm not a big fan of telling people to do both parks in a single day because there's too much to see and do. That being said...I would spend two days at Universal...not one.

I agree with metro and I know from experiance taking my 2 boys ever since they were 9 and 13
they would get very tired and wore out and not to mention even with sunblock on they would get sun burned and complain and thats why when we went to orlando from then on we made plans on doing atleast 1 day per park but then agian we love universal so much we devote everyday to the parks
