Doing US&IoA in a day...?

[torsie24]

Hello!

We are spending 2 weeks in WDW at the start of October.

Ideally I only want to spend one day at US and IoA as we have a few wedding planning commitments on site, and we want to spend lots of time at the WDW parks and also some time relaxing as it’s our only break from work for the whole year!

But on the other hand, I will only be in Orlando once this year and I don’t want to half-do US and IoA.

If we do go for one day we’ll most likely get the express passes as that works out at $111 each for one day vs. $99 for 2 days with no front of line.

So my questions are:

1 – Will 1 full day with FoL be enough to see IoA and US (Rides we must do are: HRRR, Simpsons, ET, JP, Jaws, Backlot tour, MiB, Hulk and Spiderman.)

2 – Will we need FoL on Wednesday 7th October? How should the crowds be?

Thanks in Advance!

If you are doing only several attractions at each park and only have the one day to spend, you should probably purchase the EP's but only when you arrive...do NOT purchase them in advance as they are non-refundable and are date specific. October is really slow during the week and you may not need them at all. On the list you gave...there is no backlot tour...that's at the Hollywood park...and the HR3 may or may not be open when you visit but I certainly hope so.

Thank you!! That's a great help!

Thanks for saying about the tour, I swear I went on one at US florida when I waas little...must be thinking of WDW. It's a shame they don't have one as it's my favourite part of USHollywood.

be at the turnstile at ioa by 8:20ish.

wednesday is usually a good day crowd wise to be at the parks.

i couldn't do both parks in one day though.


do as much as you can.

be there before opening and stay until they close.

and like metro said, don't buy the epp until you are in the park.

who knows if you would need them for both parks......

I think there used to be one here but they took it out.
