4 UA/IoA Park Days vs 3 UA/IoA Park Days + 2 Park VIP?

[Wells Larsen]

Hi folks. I'm looking for your opinion on which you would rather have starting the Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
I am trying to decide between 4 park days (UO & IoA) vs 3 park days with a 2-Park Shared VIP Tour (on one of the 3 days)?
Assume the cost difference between the two choices is negligible and staying at Royal Pacific Resort.

Thanks!

What’s the advantage of VIP tour when you get unlimited express passes with your Royal Pacific hotel room that can be used for everything except Hagrid’s and VelociCoaster ?

I don't know. I haven't been there for 8 years. I don't know how busy it is or how well the Express Passes work. Also, I don't know if the football players / cheer leaders will make a difference now that they switched their conference from Dis to UA. Other advantages, I guess guaranteed quick access to Hagrid's and VelociCoaster, plus maybe some backstage stuff (not sure what that all includes though)

We max out Universal/IoA with one private VIP day. Sounds like way too much time there to me.

We went on a group VIP tour in February and loved it. The food was amazing and it was so nice not waiting for anything including Hagrid’s and Velocicoaster which the Express Pass does not cover. They also take you backstage which is fun. I would do the tour the first day and then you can repeat what you didn’t do or loved on the other days.
