Crowds

[emilysmom09]

Does anyone know if crowd levels from previous years are listed somewhere? We hope to be taking our first trip to Universal next year, but I don't want to go at the most crowded times.(we went to WDW the week between Christmas & New Year's--Never Again) My daughter is in school so we have to work around school schedules. Right now we're looking at March 14-19. Anyone ever been at that time that can give me info?

Thanks!!

Anytime that you are going and kids are out of school it will be crowded. I believe that time in March is during Spring Break when it will be very crowded. If you are looking for a calm time to go, then choose sometime when there aren't alot of kids out of school. Usually after Easter until Memorial day is a good time to go if you are looking to go in the Springtime.

I have to agree with the previous poster. You will always find crowds during school breaks. To get the most out of your vacation time/dollars, you really should consider taking your daughter out of school and visiting during a non-peak time such as January to early February, late spring, fall, or between Thanksgiving & Christmas.

Or you can stay on site and get the FOTL perk and then it won't matter if it is a busy time. I've gone New Years Eve for several nights and spring break for several nights (same time of March as you are considering) and with FOTL, had no problems at all. Since you use the express line, we had minimal waits. I did find Sunday less crowded than Friday or Saturday.

Going back March 17-19 and staying at the Hard Rock Hotel.
