[daisy and daphne dog]

My family is going to US/Ioa for the first time this Christmas can't wait... I was wondering if anyone has some tips?.......Best way to see both parks were to start..... I was wondering if US had any secrets to discover like Hidden Mickeys at WDW? Any tips would be helpful and fun.....

Christmas week is the busiest time of the year so seeing everything in a single day is practically impossible. You would need to purchase the VIP Express tickets to do everything...there are simply too many people.

be one of the first thru the turnstiles & start at IOA. You might be able to get many of the rides done there by afternoon... Spidey, Hulk, DD...they will be the busiest I think. If you don't really want to get wet, you can skip the water rides. It can be chilly in Dec. If you are going for one day, you will not be able to see everything. You will need at least 2 days.. that way you can get to US the next morning. If you cannot and have to do both in one day, you will have to set what rides are your priority. Over at US; R3, Simpson's, Mummy & MIB will be your busiest..... so if your priority's are those rides, than do that park first... at opening.. but be there early to get in as soon as they start letting people in. Even with EP's there can be wait times during Christmas season... and expect lines for food to be nuts at lunch time. If you can hold off until the lunch crowd has died down, do it .... for you will be spending up to 45 minutes+ for lunch.... If not eat lunch early and take snacks to much on while on cue lines... later in the day... then do an early dinner.
