Planning -- Any day better than another?

[webswing]

Hi, all...

Planning which days we want to be at which parks. We will be in Orlando Mar 29 - Apr 5. During that time I expect the parks will be busier than heck on just about every day. However, I thought I would ask those more experienced if there are any trends that make visiting either USF or IOA and better one day of the week compared to another. Is there a "best day" to visit either of these parks?

Thanks in advance!

I cant answer but bumping it up for someone that can!

I'm hopeful that someone knows this. I'm not going until summer, but I'm planning on the highest projected days for MK as our Universal days.

I keep hoping somebody will know the way to go, but I'll never hear way back on page three!

I would only be speculating becuase this year has been a little different than last year but my guess would be Tues, Wed, and Thursday to be the lightest.

Sundays used to be one of the lightest days but lately that hasn't been the case.

Phantom, are the parks busier than usual this year? tia

The off season this year has been much busier than the off season last year. I don't know if it's because people cancelled trips during the hurricanes and then waited to rebook during the off season. That may be the reason or maybe people are realizing they can get more bang for their bucks at Universal. Whatever the reason, the off season hasn't been so "off" lately. Yesterday there were 42,000 people at the parks during the day and at night for Mardi Gras. Even in the afternoon, the parks were packed.

I didn't notice the crowds being more this year at Christmas and Thanksgiving as they were the year before. They were equally crowded then. So I don't know if the Spring Break and summer crowds will be more this year or not.

Thanks for the input!

I'm looking at a Tuesday/Wednesday.
