Park strategy...arriving Tues after Easter?

[rapunzal]

We are going to arrive the Tueday after Easter (4/22). The 5 days in a row ticket Universal is offering on-line looks like a great deal. My question is should I have my starting day on Wed., Thurs. or Friday ? How do you think the crowds will be? We leave on Wed. April 30. Looking to hit the parks early and leave by lunch and go to the pool. We are not staying on-site. Any ideas would be great! Thanks

Your plan already sounds good if you are arriving to the parks early each day.

Are you visiting any other parks, like SWF (Sea World Florida)? If you do, then visit SWF on Saturday arriving early.

5 days is more than enough time to see USF/IOA if you're getting there early each morning.

Start your 5 days on the Wednesday after you arrive. Even if you skip Saturday and go over to SWF, it's still worth it, because Sunday has light crowds.

With that much time, I'd even take a rental car and drive the 75 miles west to BGT (Busch Gardens Tampa) on Monday or Tuesday.
