Universal advice..How many days?

[mguilford1]

We went to Universal for 2 days 15 years ago and loved it! This trip we are staying on property for 1 night/2days! With all of the new things should I just buy a 3 day unlimited ticket so we can go back at least one more day? Or with the 2 day express pass will we see and do everything? We are in Orlando for 2 weeks and have 2 days with nothing at all planned. BTW we already have 2 rest days worked into our schedule already.

We did 3 full days for our first visit last year and I wanted to do a 4th but my daughter got sick that day. We enjoy repeating the thrill rides as much as possible, so if you like to only do each ride/attraction once, 2 days should be enough. We are returning in 3 weeks and staying on site one night to do 2 days with express passes, then we're going back later in the week for a 3rd day without express passes to do the shows, enjoy one of the restaurants, and catch a few rides if the lines aren't too long. I highly recommend going with the 3 day pass.

I am really leaning towards the 3 day pass! We definately like to go on the rides more than once! I am surprised no one else has commented on this post! When you come back from your trip can you comment on this post again and let me know how things went using the express pass and how many days you felt you needed? Thank You!

I would do 3 days..Gives you time to do things over again or things you missed.We do 4 full park days and still havent done some things

We were there last June for three days without express passes....we were able to ride everything multiple times. It was great! This year we are returning June 22-25....I am getting concerned about the expected crowds. We will not be staying on property so no EP or early entry..

Please don't feel ignored, we get asked this question on this board at least once a week. It's hard to remember if you've responded to each query or not. To me, 3 days at IOA/Universal is the minimum.

Ditto, we also go at least 3 days and more when possible This trip we are there 4 nights so we will have 4 or 5 days at the parks. That allows us time in the parks, and since we stay onsite time to just relax and enjoy the hotel pools, etc.

This trip we bought APs for everyone since we will be going again at least once within the next year.
