Thinking of a 2 Day trip to Universal while we are in Orlando 2nd week of December. Just missed King Kong last trip, really interested in experiencing King Kong AND have never seen Universal with holiday decorations. SO here is the question, we WONT be staying onsite this time(we have always stayed On Site, many times) guess we are spoiled, BUT not this time. SO the question is, we are planning "tentatively" a 2 day park ticket for Sunday, December 16th and Monday December 17th of 2018. I have read various comments, some say that folks are so busy with upcoming XMAS preparations that the parks are not too crazy this time of year, one week 7 days before Christmas. ANY PARK EXPERTS that could chime in? Next question, would it be worth it to purchase an express pass(As I said, we have never done this before as we have ALWAYS either stayed at Portofino, HardRock(most of stays) or Royal Pacific. IF we decided on purchasing the Express pass, how much extra per ticket for a 2 day ticket would this be?

ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

THANKS vey much!
