3 days for US and IOA?

[evie308]

We have 3 full days in Orlando before our cruise. Would 3 days for US/IOA be too much? We have 3 kids that are 10, 8 and 5.

Or 2 days US/IOA and 1 day for Seaworld. We have not been to any of these parks.

We will be going the 1st week in July so I am assuming the crowds will be high.

TIA

It would depend on the type of vacationer you are, and when you're going. If you like to take everything in 3 days could be enough. In my experience 2 days is usually good but if you are going after June then 3 days may be necassary

With the opening of the Harry Potter expansion projected for June you will likely need the 3 days.Also if you want to ride the Hogwarts express ( part of the expansion) you will need PARK to PARK tickets

We went to Universal for the first time last August. My daughter is 12. We spent 3 full days at the park plus another evening, and we could have spent more time! This was during a moderate crowd period and with express passes. It really depends on whether you guys like to go on rides one time each, or if you like to revisit your favorites again and again. We probably rode the Mummy ride 15 times, and it still wasn't enough. Also, if you want to do the shows, those take up more time and have to be worked into the schedule - even with 3 full park days from open to close, we missed the Animal Actors show because we never found the time to do it!

That's so funny! I think it was the location, and the times just never seemed to work for us. I am determined to make it to the show in May when we go back!
