How many days for non-thrill riders?

[twinspluscade]

I'm in the process of planning a trip to Orlando at the end of May. We've decided to skip Disney this trip, and do the non-Disney parks instead.

I can't decide on how many days we'll need for US/IOA. I won't be buying the park to park tickets. At first, I figured I'd buy four day tickets, giving us two days in each park. Now I'm thinking maybe a day in each park will be enough for us, given that two of us are total ride chickens (won't ride anything more extreme than POTC), two fall in the middle (love BTMRR type rides), and one likes coasters but absolutely can't do any kind of spinning or motion simulator rides.

OTOH, my daughters and I are really excited to check out the WWOHP. Obviously we can't ride the train--and we might not be doing the rides--but just to walk around and go in the stores will be great. So, then I think maybe two days in each park will give us more time to explore the Harry Potter areas?

What would you guys recommend? Would we be fine with just a day in each park, or should I stick with 2 days per park?

Thanks!

I would do a total of 3 days. One day for each land and one for do overs. And FYI- a two night stay gets you three days of ep and ee.

Also, definitely go thru the lines for all the rides then take the chicken exit. The lines are soooo well themed and not to be missed!

We just returned and I feel that 2 or 3 days would be plenty. Honestly, I am not a roller coaster person (unless it is Expedition Everest or tamer) and I can't do motion simulators. That left me with little to do except for the Harry Potter areas--which were amazing! I spent 2 days doing the Harry Potter stuff and the water rides and I was happy. My husband returned for a 3rd day to do the coasters. Don't go to the Horror make-up show if your kids are sensitive. My friend said that the show was funny and a "must do". They show some scary clips from horror movies and my 10 year old was crying and miserable. All kids are different and some might enjoy it.
