Hello everyone. We will be going to WDW & Universal last week of August. We did pretty much the same trip in 2012. We stayed onsite at WDW the entire week and midweek rented a car for 2 days and drove over to US & IOA 2 days. Lines at Universal were pretty minimal except maybe a couple of half hour waits but really not that bad at all that I recall.
I am now wondering with the expansion of the Harry Potter World if the crowd levels will be ridiculous? any thoughts? So now I am debating staying at WDW for the first 5 days and then staying at Royal Pacific for the 3 remaining days because of the express pass. We get the military discount at WDW so the rooms are about 100 or so cheaper vs. staying at Royal Pacific. Does anyone think Express pass will be almost a necessity in August?? My DD8 is tall so she can ride just about every ride except for I think the Hulk and we wouldn't be spending much or any time in Dr. Seuss land this year..maybe a quick walk through but nothing major. Just can't decide ..
