Early planning stage of 4 day Universal Orlando

[jkh36619]

I am looking at ticket prices and trying to decide to save a few bucks on the park to park option. I have never been to USO before. Is there any reason I would have the urge to park hop or are most people content to spend a day in each park? I was thinking 2 whole days at each park. I know everyone is different so I'm just curious to what you guys would do.

Thanks

Two whole days at each park is plenty, I think. If you want to ride Hogwarts Express, though, you need park to park.

I always get P2P on my tickets, especially if you do not have Express Pass. There can (and usually will) be times where one park is slower than the other during the day, and I love having the option to freely jump between parks.

The crowds ebb and flow in terms of traffic so while UO might be particularly busy, IOA may not (and vice versa).

2 days for each park is plenty. However, there are reasons some people prefer the park to park. Here's a link to the reasons I prefer it.

Years since last US visit. Park 2 Park for 2 days or 2 days, 2 parks???

As said, Hogwart's Express requires P2P. Plus, it is very easy to walk between the two. We don't always park hop at Disney, but it's so easy to do at Universal. It's like Disneyland, if you have been there.

Yes - get the park to park ticket just for Hogwarts Express - totally worth it. I got an annual pass and found it really helpful - plus I was staying several days so felt relaxed if I didn't see something one day - just caught it on another.

Yes, do the P2P option when you have 4 days. The whole family will like the freedom to re-ride whatever they want as the days go by.
