Mother's Day Crowds

[rowan555]

We're planning to drive to Orlando Mothers Day morning and arrive around 5 PM. I think I remember reading somewhere that Mothers Day tends to be really slow? If that's the case, I'm considering leaving Saturday instead and using Sunday as a park day to take advantage of the low crowds (Monday and Tuesday we'll have express passes due to our one night RPR stay). Anyway, is it true that Mothers Day tends to be very slow at the parks?

According to Touring Plans both parks are at 4 out of 10 on Sunday and Monday - Saturday the 10th -they are at a 6 out of 10. If that is any help.

Sunday tends to be a lower attendance at the Universal resort.

Do I need a paid membership with Touring Plans to see those numbers? I'd like to look more closely at the trip days we're choosing. Also, do they have numbers for Sea World, or just Universal?

it's a paid membership

I just got the membership, and now I'm wishing I'd stuck with going late February! I guess staying on site will make it a good trip no matter what, but we'd wanted to go back a third day after we check out of RPR. 4/10 crowd level on that day scares me.

That is still a low crowd day. I was there moms day last year, it was very slow. Remember that even that low 4 is predicting the absolute height of the afternoon. It will be even more empty up til then.
