newbie needs help

[itsdisneytime]

Hello pals,

I am sure this is going to be a redundant question and one that some of you may roll your eyes about .. BUT .. I need your help.

I am going to Florida October 8th-15th .. ... I have been to Universal/Islands 3 times but never when this Harry Potter World was up and running .. ... Ive been successful in doing both parks in 1 day previously as I am not a big roller coaster fan .. I moreso do these parks for my 9 yr old daughter ...

My friend coming with me this time wants to do Universal Parks but she is not a big fan of parks or crowds and she certainly will not be expected to "HUSTLE" ... so I suppose my question is ....

How crowded should I expect the parks to be that week? I would join a tourist plan book but im hoping someone with more experience can just guide me rather than me having to join another site.

Thanks

That is during Halloween Horror Nights so they have like a stay and scream thing for that (for night time), which the Halloween events at night are very crowded from what I hear. THe parks during the day I"m guessing will be light to moderate crowds. If you can stay on site at one of the hotels is best to get their front of the line access to all the rides, which will mean no waiting in line for any of the rides. Except for FJ.

The crowds during the day shouldn't be bad at all. Since HHN is only at the Studios, you won't even notice those crowds if you are at IOA. When you are visiting, HHN will be staged 10/8, 10/9, 10/13-10/15 so the Studios will close at 5pm on those nights. Again...HHN crowds do not usually affect day time crowds at the Studios or IOA crowds at all.
