Both Parks or just IOA?

I'll be going to Orlando in January with my husband, and we've never been to Universal before. We only have one day, which we'd originally planned for IOA, since the whole point of going was to see WWoHP. However, now I'm rethinking. In looking at the rides at IOA, it seems an awful lot are water rides, or at least rides with the potential of getting wet. Being January, we're not too keen on that idea. About all I see that we'd be interested in other than the HP stuff is Spiderman and Jurassic Park, and maybe Cat in the Hat just for kicks. Is it silly to get a two-park ticket for that one day, with the added front of the line pass, to help us ride as much as possible? The park closes at 6 PM that day (I'm guessing, they haven't posted for sure yet, but it seems logical based on past closing times), so I don't want to end up buying two-park tickets we wouldn't have time to use. I'm also wondering how much time we'd spend at WWoHP, since we're both big fans and would want to do as much as possible.

Adding a day to Universal isn't possible, we're at Disney the rest of the time. The FotL pass is a given, we were planning to get it anyway since it's so cheap during the time we'll be there.

Anyone been in this situation before?

I would think you can do both parks. You won't be going on Popeye or Ripsaw falls so that will cut out some time. You won't be able to see all the shows but doing all the rides in both parks is possible.

Now i could be wrong but I think you could spend about 2-3 hours in WWOHP and see/do everything.

Also keep in mind that the FOTL pass can't be used on the FJ ride in the WWOHP. Are you a coaster fan? That would impact the number of rides you might be interested in at IOA, and therefor the amount of time you will need there. (as well as the value of FOTL for you).
