Help! Going during Chistmas week, are we crazy?

[Micday]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is basically our first time to US and IOA. We always went to Disney. I'm a "planner" and I'm really nervous, I like to be prepared. Going during Christmas week is crazy but it works for us.

We are driving down and plan to be in Orlando on the 20th of December.

We are staying at the Renaissance for two nights, going to SeaWorld.

On the 22nd we are checking in at the RP and staying two nights, we will be getting season passes. We will have three full days with the express passes. Even with EP will we have lines?

Is there a good site that helps you plan for US/IOA like they have for Disney? I've been looking on here too.

Help

Won't be so bad since you are staying onsite.

Touring Plans does the wait times for US as well as WDW.

They are very easy to navigate .It will be insanely busy but with the express passes, your waits will be minimal

Wait times for Express will be in the 20-30 minute range that week as opposed to 90+ minutes in the stand by line.

Just remember to try and eat during off peak times as Express doesn't help you with in park dining.

Restrooms could have longer waits too...no one really thinks about restrooms but yes...they get busy too.

Yes, it will be extremely busy and you should change your plans! I'm only saying that cause I'm doing the exact same thing - checking into RP on the 22nd, 3 days of ExpressPass Universal, so I need to convince 20,000 people to stay home
See you there!
