Oct trip schedule

[GooniesScott]

Going Oct 2013 (3-11) going to have 5 day park hopper at WDW, 3 day park hopper at Universal, and 1 day at Seaworld.
Tentative schedule as follows: Thursday: (arrive and ready to roll by 3pm) thinking of hitting USF until close then eat and shop around city walk. Friday: MK
Saturday: SW(think we can get done by 3ish), head back to USF
Sunday: IoA
Monday:Epcot
Tuesday:AK then hop to MK
Wednesday: HS / hop to Epcot or maybe DTD Thursday: play by ear and visit our favs (maybe hop Epcot to MK$
Friday: fly out

Is two half days (3pm to close) at USF going to be enough to thoroughly enjoy USF? We have a full day at IOA planned, but don't want to miss out on anything. Thoughts/Suggestions?

Universal will close at 5pm on the days you havw planned due to HHN.

I was wondering about that. Is there an October universal schedule somewhere?

I was wondering about that. Is there an October universal schedule somewhere?

Based on last year's schedule, IoA is open 9-7 and the Studios is open 9-6...except when HHN is staged which is Thursday-Sunday (during your visit) in which case the hours are 9-5.

You can go to the Universal website and check under park hours for last year's schedule. You will have to go back by month to find the hours.

like other posters already said, hhn will happen on that thursday and saturday.

i'll be there at the darkside on some of your dates.
based on past years, the parks will have crowds on the above dates when it gets closer to park closing at the studios.

you will have from 3 to 5 at the studios and a couple more hours at ioa for those thursday and saturday.


why don't you reverse your parks ?

you can start with ioa or studios at park opening and then switch to the motherland for 3pm to closing.
they will have longer park hours and maybe you could hit the darkside parks on mon/tue/wed instead.
