I am visiting Orlando Dec 18-Dec 22 (we'll be in the parks Sunday until Thursday).

Which would be the best days to visit the parks, specifically IOA to see WWOHP? We are flexible with our Disney days.

Also, do the Universal parks typically extend their hours during this week? The latest I've seen is until 6pm!

Lastly, I know this has been asked before, but is it posable to do both parks in one day and hit all the major rides? I suppose not if they are open until only 6!! But we are coming from a Disney hotel and if the parks are open later we would like to avoid some of the commuting costs and hit both parks in one day. Anyone have personal experience with this??

Thanks!!

Tuesday or Wednesday would be best...the huge crowds don't arrive until the following week so it should be OK. WWoHP will still be crowded and depending on how long it takes you to see everything, you may or may not have time to see the headliners at both parks. Universal typically closes around 7pm that time of year but is open later the next week. IOA might be open until 8pm but that's based on the crowd levels. You'll need to wait until the holiday hours are released in another month or so.
 
Thanks, I didn't realize the park hours would be released so early. I'll wait it out then figure out if we need 1 or 2 days.

Well I say that but who knows when they will be released. :rotfl:

It shouldn't be too long as people need to plan for the holidays.
