How long to stay?

[eianson]

Hi,

Thinking about a trip to US/IOA next spring break and want to get a sense of how long it should take to adequately see everything. My basic plan is as follows:

- Get tickets through Costco (3 day - Park Hopper).
- Stay at one of the on-site resorts to get FOTL access
- Arrive pre-rope drop at the parks
- Use early entry for WWOHP
- Take breaks around lunchtime and return in the evening
- Plan to stay 5 nights/4 days
- Try to do the two parks in the first 2 days, take a day off to enjoy the resorts/City Walk, and then do ride repeats on the last day

Any thoughts on this plan? Also, want to confirm that the only early entry at either park is for WWOHP....right?

Thanks!

if you are going during spring break next year, and plan to buy the 3 day park tickets for UO, then do 3 days.

the park will have its crowds during spring break.


hopefully, you will be able to catch all of what you want to explore at UO and city walk in those 3 days.

So are you saying not to not stay four days if we are only getting tickets for 3 days?

I could do 4-day base tickets as an alternative.....but I didn't think I'd need to worry too much about the crowds if we are staying on-site.

If you are staying onsite, the wait times will be cut but the crowds will still be there. That's a very busy time so just keep that in mind. You should be able to do everything you want in three days but if you want to do a fourth day, go for it.

ditto on what metro stated.

do the parks for with the 3 day tickets and then explore city walk or pool hop and relax around the hotel for one day.




if it were me going there during spring break, i would do the alternative and add another day for the parks.
