Need advice for Oct. trip

[SM1992]

We're visiting Orlando Oct 19 through 25 and are planning one day at Universal, primarily for Harry Potter attractions. We're not interested in Halloween nights. Could anyone suggest the best day to visit? Fewer crowds on HHN days or non HHN days?
Thanks!

The only two days that you will be here w/o having to deal with HHN is Monday, October 20th and Tuesday, October 21st. Those are going to be your days to go. With Diagon Alley open now I think crowds will definitely increase but shouldn't be too terribly bad. Keep in mind that you are visiting during the 2nd Hell Week when local schools have a day off but if you are going on Monday or Tuesday, it won't really matter.

We are locals and I know my DD has Mon. Oct. 20 off from school. Tues Oct 21 might be a better day.

I understand the Orange County Pubic Schools are off Thursday and Friday of that week too. What school system is your DD attending?

I am asking because my family will be there the same dates and while we have Universal planned for Tuesday and Wednesday, we are spending a day at WDW too.

We are in Lake Country Schools. Polk County Schools are also off on Mon. Oct 20.
