Trying to plan our itninerary for Orlando visit the last 2 weeks of August with 3 kids (7, 11 and 15). Staying off-site. Have been reading and re-reading and re-re-reading (!) this whole site and the Unofficial Guide.

How many days should we earmark for Universal and IOA?
I'm guessing at 3. One day each park and the 3rd day to re-visit whatever we prefer.

Are Wed, Thurs and Fri good days?

So far, the plan is to arrive early, see as much as possible following the suggested plan of attack read about here and in UG. Leave park early afternoon for rest time/swim. Possibly not return to parks, have an early night and start again the next day. My theory is that this is the only way we can survive - happily- day after day park touring.

But! After a break, is there something going on in the evening that we shouldn't miss? What about returning for dinner? Is Citywalk suitable for kids? Thinking about Margaritaville or Bob Marley.

I'm sure I'll think of more questions the minute I post this, but THANK YOU for any and all suggestions you may have.
 
3 days is great.

Wed-Fri is good, but Tues-Thurs is better. Less crowds.

There will be nothing going on in the evenings at the parks during your visit. Citywalk is fine for children, but after 8pm or so it's primary target is adults. Margaritaville and Bob Marley's are very relaxing, and Margaritaville is more kid friendly, IMO.


HTH.
 
Thanks the Dark Marauder :D

I'll change our plans to Tues-Thurs.
Is it advisable to make a PS/reservation for Margaritaville? Or can we wing it depending on how tired we are?
 
If you get to the restaurants before 6pm, you'll have little-no wait. You can make a PS for Margaritaville, but it's more than okay to change it/wing it if you so desire. They have booths in the front of both parks that can help you get set up with a PS time if you so desire.
