Memorial Day Question

[ltribble31021]

We are going to be at Universal over Memorial Day.
(We expect it to be busy.)

Will be there on Friday 25, Saturday 26, Sunday 27, and Monday 28. What three days would you recommend going to the parks and which parks?

Thanks

We went to IOA & USF on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend last year and it wasn't too crowded. At that time, early entry was allowed for anyone with a multi-day pass and we arrived at IOA at 7am, went back to the hotel mid-day, and returned for dinner at Margaritaville and visited USF that evening. A large amount of people leave the parks in the late afternoon. I think the early entry policy is only available for on-site hotel guests now, but you may look into that further.

Anyway, to address your question, I'd guess Monday is a travel day for many people taking advantage of the 3-day weekend, so crowds would probably be lower then than on SAT & SUN; same for Friday and many people won't have that day off anyway. If you aren't traveling on FRI or MON, then I'd recommend those days for sure. I don't know how SAT & SUN compare to each other.
