Labor Day and Universal

[godders]

Hello everyone

I'm going to be at Universal 6/7/8th of September over Labor day so I was just wondering what people's past experiences of the crowds were like. Touring plans has it down at a 2 but easyWDW has it at a 5 so not sure who to believe.

I am staying on site luckily so I'll have FOTL but I was just hoping to prepare myself for how busy it will or won't be.

TIA!

I'm curious, too. I'll only be there one day, probably Sunday, and want some time to really explore Diagon Alley without insane crowds.

Florida schools are back in session before Labor Day. We were pleasantly surprised one year to find Disney, over labor day weekend, to be the least crowded we have ever seen it. I think the same goes for Universal. I know they don't really work for the HP areas but the FOTL passes will help in the other areas of the parks for the weekend. No waiting for transformers, spiderman or men in black... so worth staying onsite!

That is good news. It was really quiet the week after Labor day last year. I was staying on site so had FOTL so everything was a walk on. But then not so sure about crowds with Labor Day being so late this year so I know a lot of schools don't go back till after.

Just planned a short trip with my cousin and our kids (11, 10, 8) for September 2-5. Hoping for manageable crowds, but I'm also wondering about that since Labor Day is late this year (my kids go back to school 9/8). We are staying at HRH so we'll have FOTL access.
