Itinary planning

[Kaz65]

Hi - some will think we have left his late but........
just sorting out planning our itinary - going form 26th March til 9th April and staying off site for first 10 days with last 5 booked at POFQ. Hubby LOVES IOA, for me and DS it is the water parks, Seaworkd and Disney. Had planned to do Universal at the begining and leave Disney til the later part of the holiday but realise it will be busier the secodn week as in 1st week of UK Easter hols. Can anyone recommed a busy park guide or suggestions? My thoughts are we can make use of fast past at Disney which isnt available (unless willing ot pay extra at Universal) in the second and supposedly busier week. Can also make us eof the extra hours second week.

Hi, do you have a hire car for your trip? If not then even though the parks may be busier I would do disney whilst onsite, will be easier to use the buses etc. If you use fastpasses it shouldn't be too bad queue wise, but check when Spring break is in the US - that can make the parks really busy. At Universal, if you are there quite early then we didn't have a problem in June seeing everything we wanted, but IOA was a different story! Every ride was 2hr + wait, so we bought the fastpasses (not cheap - I think they were about £30 each when it was $2:£1) but we had our moneys worth as we went on everything.
You will be able to use the extra hours for the 5 days you are in disney so you can make use of them as well. Thats the best time to go to the water parks, as it will be a bit quieter either first thing or later in the night.

Hope that helps a bit Have fun

Thanks tinks86 - yes we have a car so more mobile and also we have ultimate tickets so can park hop if it gets really unbearable. Do you know where I can find out about the Spring Break period?

Um, try the US boards, maybe the college one, I've got a feeling its around Easter time but I think its quite big in Florida! We found it loads easier having a car, you can do what you fancy then, we were glad to break up the disney parks with universal etc when it got a bit much
