Universal April 2026

[ecefaratti]

We are planning a Universal trip next April (2026) for Spring Break. We haven’t been in many years and are excited for all the new areas and especially Epic Universe. My question is should we plan for 3 or 4 days (not including travel days) to be able to go to the 3 theme parks. We would get the park to park tickets. We are not water park people so we don’t plan to go to Volcano Bay. Our kids will be 14, 11, & 11. Thank you!

I would opt for 4, since I think you can spend 4 even at just the two parks without getting bored. But regardless, it'll be busy during spring break, so the extra day will help with more low crowd mornings/evenings and the ability to add in shows without being too rushed.

Also, your title says 2025.

Thank you! That was my gut feeling as well, especially since we haven’t been in a very long time. Thanks for pointing my title out, I changed it

Personally, 5. We spent 3-4 in the original 2 parks.

Agree with 5.
3 for park to park in the original 2 parks, then 2 days for Epic.
That way you are more likely to get on all the rides you want, to look at everything you want to see and to eat at everywhere you want to eat.
You’d have time for spells at all the HP areas and time to do the activities with the watch thing in Mario world.
You’d have time to do both shows at
Epic that way as well.

I agree with 5. I think the HP areas will be a big draw for your kids due to their ages. It is an area that you cannot just do once, at least from what I've seen. I visit it at least twice a day while at Universal Studios and could do more. Those areas are worth the ticket to get in IMO. I'm sure the new Epic will be a big draw for them too, so it's all good
