Few questions before our trip??

[Jedi5]

Leaving for US in a few days and I have a few questions before we leave...

We'll be there 5/9-5/12, what are crowds like that time frame?
Staying onsite so with the express pass, if crowds are low, should be very little wait time for rides, right?

More or less, how much money do you take per day?
Thinking big purchases will be on credit card, maybe big meals as well.

Do they have sugar free or snacks or fat free ice cream?

I think you can bring in water/drinks to the parks, right?
If so, how do you keep them cold? Do you ask for a free cup of ice?

This will be our first time to US/IoA, hope we fun.
Any words of wisdom or advice for a 1st timer?

Thanks all!

1. Should be nice.
2. Absolutely.
3. Yes.
4. Hope so too.
5. If you have any interest in seeing Ollivander's, arrive before early entry begins and go straight there--even before Forbidden Journey.

My biggest piece of advice is to take your time. Because of Express Pass and taking advantage of early entry to WWOHP, you'll be ably to easily do every ride you want multiple times. Don't stress about having to get something done right away. For example, take a breather and check out both the Royal Pacific and Portifino Bay hotels, both fantastic places. Have a nice snack while you enjoy their atmosphere.

Have to agree with this. We always take a least 1/2 day to whole day just pool hopping and having lunch at a different resort. HRH has a great pool and pool bar that we enjoy going to and the lunch at the bar is really good (but pricey) and then PBH also has a fun pool and we go to Sal's to have lunch..great pizza!
