I know it's a short time but we are determined to do everything!!!

Any suggestions?

I guess it's mainly when to do PI, IOA/Universal.... on that thursday thru saturday time period... Also, AK has an early hour on that Saturday but not sure if we'd need that - would it be beneficial on a Saturday?

Notes:
we don't plan to do all the Universal Studios attractions - just the ones that are new since the last time we went...so we don't need a full day... and what we don't get done, oh well...

we can get a good Alamo special on their website if we rent a car Saturday morning and return it Sunday morning ($23!!!). The other day's well have to pay about $35. But I heard Saturday was really crowded, but we'd save about $12 on car rental

I think you'll have a better experience at Universal / IOA if you go on Friday instead of Saturday. Saturdays are usually a zoo there -- it's a very popular "locals" park.

Would you say Animal Kingdom is a Zoo that day?

What park isn't crowded on a Saturday ?

Most parks will be crowded on a Saturday in May, but every time I've been to IOA on a weekend, I've gotten fed up with the crowds and left. If I take a day off and go during the week, it never seems as bad.

DAK won't be any more crowded on a Saturday than it is regularly in May. But for some reason, the the Universal Parks seem to have a bigger attendance bump on weekends than the Disney parks do.

That's just my experience though.

Thank you. There is an extra morning hour at AK on Saturday... But I've heard it's crowded so it doesn't really matter and I might as well go on a non-weekend day... But then again I have to do something on Saturday
