First timer

After going back and forth on what i wanted to do on this holliday, i have finally decieded that were doing Disney and Universal. Been to Disney so no worries thier, but Universal is a new one for me! Iv planned to do 3 days - one in each park then a park hopping day. Iv got the 2 park bonus ticket that lasts 14 days - can you park hop on this? Is 3 days enough to see and do everything? Were going in the middle of september so it SHOULD be pretty quite in the parks.

Any must dos and places to eat? any help would be great.

Three days is perfect. One day at each park and half a day to do your favorites again.

There are menus posted, so definitely check that out.

My personal favorites are Three Broomsticks (great breakfast!!), Louie's, Pastamore, Finnegan's and I'm hoping to finally try Mytho's next time!

3 days is fine. You should get everything done you would want to in that time. And you can definately park hop on the 14 day 2 park bonus ticket. It`s such a good buy.

Are you planning on staying onsite for any of your trip as you would get early entry in WWoHP as well as Express Pass......we still use it even when it`s quiet

As for restaurants we all have our favourites. The food sticky has some really good info.

We love in IOA Confisco Grill and Thunder Falls Terrace it`s near Jurassic park and Croissant Moon Bakery in Port of Entry is lovely too. Not forgetting Mythos.

In The Studios Louie`s Pizza is a must do. With Ben and Jerry`s right across the street for dessert Finnegans always gets good reports from peeps.

Loads of good choices at Citywalk too

you won't be seeing crowds for the middle of september.



if the weather is great, more locals do the park on the weekends.

3 days is perfect, although you can always do more. I always say 2 is the absolute minimum, but 3 is so much better to be able to take your time, and enjoy the stuff you discover in detail on the first 2 days.

Thank guys Not staying onsite, were at Clarion inn at LBV., but they have a shuttle to Universal. Great to know that 3 days is right, we may end up doing more if we enjoy it but i think its going to be a more Disney trip. Also thanks for the places to eat tips, will defo be looking at those menus and get a good idea were i want to eat before going. My boyfriend has given me complete planning control so its all up to me
