Is this possible? Only have 3 full days

I am trying to plan a low budget quick trip to US/SW/IOA in March during our winter break from school. We'd have to fly in on a Wednesday night, have Thursday, Friday and Saturday and fly home again on Sunday.

These would be the only three parks we would be doing. If we spent an entire day at each one, could we see most of the park?

We're also debating onsite vs. off and if this would impact our time at the parks and would love any input. TIA!

I wish I had a choice to stay onsite... Originally, my trip was to be 2 days, with a stay at the HRH. We switched to offsite and 5 full days. DD(11) was disapointed but the decision maker was that we dont plan on swimming, we live in Miami and have a beach 10 min away and a pool at our apt bldg. For our $$$ we can extend our vacation and slum it HoJo's for $50 a night including breakfast for 2, and free bus transport to the parks.

If you can, stay onsight, it sounds like (from the boards here), that wait times are 15 mins or so for onsight guests. If you pick and choose the things that you can manage to skip, Im sure your fam will see almost everything you want to in one day per park

You will have no problem doing the parks if you stay on site. You say you are going during winter break. If that is anywhere near holiday time, DEFINITELY stay on site. THat express perk can't be beat.

It won't be near the holidays. Probably March 10-14 (Wednesday to Sunday).

Definitely stay on sight! If you're only there for 3 days, with the FOTL...you can do plenty! Just be there right when the park opens and stay until it closes. Or maybe take a mid-day break back to your resort. Go swimming...take a quick nap...have lunch at the resort...etc.

FOTL is the best!!
