So how busy is Universal on Thanksgiving week?

I posted this about WDW too, and everyone seemed to agree that it gets really busy on TG day and on the Friday and Saturday following. Just wondering if it's the same way at Universal/IOA because we're planning on hitting WDW, Universal and possibly Sea World. Just trying to figure out what days it would be best to go where?

So, umm-what exactly are you trying to say?

Thanskgiving Day isn't extremely busy but the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving are very busy.

What about the Sunday-Wednesday before Thanksgiving?? How Busy??
Would we need to purchase FOTL passes for this time if we're staying offsite??
Any help would be appreciated!!

Usually it isn't busy then.

Would it make much of a difference if we stayed onsite at HRH one of the others? We are thinking about next year but are planning to drive in on the Friday after Thanksgiving and stay for a couple of days. Would the express make the lines bearable (under 30 minutes)?

If you are going the Friday after Thanksgiving then I would highly recommend staying onsite. FOTL should be less than 30 minutes.

Thanks. We enjoyed HRH last month and thought the kids would really like the pool there.
