Possible trip in March 2009!!!

[kyliep]

Just wondering how busy it is in march, and we are only there for 7 days, But i want to try and fit in Disney,Universal and IoA, has anyone managed to do this???? Wanted to try and fir in a water park aswell,but I think this may be the straw that breaks the camels back!!!!!

Any thoughts/comments/tips would be gratefully received!!!!!

Should be quiet - Easter is when it gets busy and next year it falls early April, when we go!

March crowds should be very manageable, though to fit 'everything' in will be a rush even if the parks are not busy.

Universal Studios and Islands Of Adventure are side by side and walking distance apart, so in theory you could do both on the same day.

Getting to the parks early is essential throughout your stay.

Thank you for your help, it seems very difficult to work out how busy the parks are, it depends who you talk to!!! Not sure which ticket would get us entry into both universal parks on the same day, without getting the flex ticket.

There is a multipark ticket which allows you to do this, but not sure if you can with the standard ticket???

I would definitely do US/IOA in one day and probably miss out the water park if I was doing all of the main Disney parks.

I think I will have to skip the waterpark, but not sure whether we will manage both US and IoA in one day, if its busy but might have no choice!!!

This ticket gives you unlimited admission for 7 days so you can move between the parks as you please.

I know you will not need 7 days access, but the ticket is so cheap. For example a 2 day ticket direct from Universal costs more.

If you get to Universal at park opening you could spend the morning at whichever park you choose and either go straight over to the other park - 5 minutes walk - or have a break and return later in the day.
The key is getting to the park at opening time, if you do this it is feasible to have a good amount of time at both the parks.

You basically buy now and use/activate the 'next time you go' - so you can purchase and use next year yes.

off the website...."Purchase it now and use it the next time you visit, regardless of when your arrival date is. "
