So we just got back from a week at WDW and had a great time. The initial plan was that if we liked it we would go back for Star Wars but now I'm not sure I want to wait that long. The husband is amenable if we focus on the stuff we didn't do this last trip. Since we were pretty hardcore this last trip--we really did just about everything in the four WDW parks--so we're looking at probably building a trip around Universal, Sea World and the Christmas party at WDW.
I'm trying to decide between a split stay where we stay at Universal (probably Royal Pacific or Portofino) for two or three days and the Swan for three or four days and just staying at Universal for five, six or seven days. I would like the trip to be a little more laid back this time. We had an amazing time this trip but were sort of exhausted by the time we got home. With that in mind I'm sort of leaning toward just staying at Universal but I'm a little unsure what we would do there for that long.
Like I said we will do a day at Sea World and an evening at the Magic Kingdom Christmas party but that still leaves quite a lot of time at Universal. We could always add a couple days at Disney, especially if we split stay--Toy Story Land will be new and we haven't done Candlelight Processional.
We're not really water park people but it would certainly be different--haven't been to a water park in ages. Is Volcano Bay even an option in December?
If we split we would probably just do two days of hopper tickets at Universal. If we stayed there the whole time we'd probably do five just because the difference in price really seems negligible. Is there stuff to do if you just run over to the parks for a few hours during a day, is there evening entertainment? I guess we could just do a shorter trip but we tend to travel in week long increments because we fly and don't like to feel rushed.
My husband is a huge Harry Potter fan. We're not huge coaster people but are up for just about anything once. Any input on how we should break up the trip and in particular what a longer trip to Universal looks like on the ground would be appreciated.
