Confused about park hours!

[thequeen63]

We are headed down ( with two 13 year old boys ) and going to the parks on Saturday ( Sept. 30 ) and Sunday ( Oct. 1 ). We want to go one day to Universal Orlando and one to IOA. I know that the Halloween Night is on Sat. at IOA, I believe. Should we go to UO on Saturday to avoid crowds at IOA and go to IOA on Sunday? Also, I get conflicting times for the parks on different sites. HELP!!! Just trying to make the most out of our two days. Thanks!

Are you staying onsite?

No, we have two free nights at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club on International Drive They have a free shuttle that leaves at 8:25 a.m. and we plan to be on that shuttle.

Since HHN is going on both nights, I doubt you'll be saving any time by going to one park over the other. IOA will definately be crowded in the evenings with people waiting to get into HHN on either night. Just remember...the parks close early during the weekends for HHN and if you're staying for HHN, you should plan accordingly.

The schedule says that HHN are only Sept. 29 and 30 that weekend, not on Sunday, Oct. 1. Would this make a difference? What are the official hours for those days? Anyone know?

Yup..you are correct about the dates. I was looking at the wrong month.

According to the Universal website, the hours right now are:

Universal Studios for Saturday, September 30: 9am-5pm & Sunday, October 1: 9am-6pm

IOA for Saturday, September 30 and Sunday, October 1: 9am-7pm

HHN is at Universal only not at IoA.
