Sunday at US/IOA or Volcano Bay and ticket question

[dspads]

Hi,

We will be in Disney the first week of June, but are planning Sunday 6/4 and Monday 6/5 at Universal. We will get a ticket for Volcano Bay and one park to park. Which park would you choose on the Sunday? Where would you get the tickets and will it be cheaper to buy ahead?

We have been before and are not getting express pass. We know we don’t be able to do it all.

Also, any idea how much premium seating at VB costs and how far in advance it sells out?

Thanks!

For what it's worth, the Touring Plans Crowd Calendar predicts Sunday as the less busy day at USF/IOA (a 5 out of 10 at both parks) than the Monday (a 9/10 at USF and a 7/10 at IOA). Not sure how much faith to put in those predictions. But I have also heard that Monday is a good day for Volcano Bay, as in general water parks tend to be less busy on Mondays. So perhaps consider doing the USF and IOA on Sunday and Volcano Bay on Monday. But when you buy your tickets, I don't know how the pricing works out - would you buy a single day park-to-park and a single day VB, or would you buy a 2-day 3-park park-to-park? That second option would give you more flexibility, allowing you to go into USF/IOA after your day at VB if you have any time left ... ?

Thanks for the info. I think we are going to do the single day option, it will save about $50pp. I am thinking of VB as more of a relax day, so not wanting to run to another park after.
