How is Grinchmas/X-mas at IOA/USF???

[Bob O]

We are staying at RPR from Fri Dec. 12 thru Sun Dec. 14 and was wondering how are the parks for X-mas, how is Grinchmas at IOA.
And any other cant miss things to see at parks/resorts/ther Universal entertainment distric???
We have been to the parks many times, but never in Dec with x-mas activities going on.
How busy will it be (thought im sure FOTL should take car of most problems with that) at the parks, and for the parade how far in advance should you get your spot.

Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Both parks are beautifully decorated for Christmas and since you're going in mid-December, you shouldn't have any problems with the crowds. You can always purchase the Express Pass at either park if you need to.

Don't wait three hours to see the Grinch, though. He's a mean cranky little tard

We will be there at RPR and the parks also on Dec 13-14th to see Grinchmas. I hope its not to crowded, but FOTL will take care of that.

A grinch question....
How long are the lines really to see the mean one? We will be at IOA on the 13 and/or 14th of December. If the lines will be longer than 10 minutes I would prefer to do the breakfast ....what do you think???

We saw the Grinch when he actually had a lair. He was absolutely incredible and well worth the wait.

I told him something (can't remember what, I was young) and he told me to shut up. I felt very ripped off, because at Disney, at least if the characters are thinking bad things to you, they can't say them so everybody feels happy.

That is one of the funniest stories I've heard in a while! I would be laughing hysterically & a little horrified at the same time. Too funny! I can only imagine Snow White giving me a nasty look and saying, "Shut up!"
