What days are *good* days?

[CathrynRose]

Hi all!

I have an upcoming September 23 --- October 2, trip to Disney (of course) with 2 days dedicated to Uni and IoA,...... and Im soooo excited to be visiting Uni & IoA (it's been a few years!)

Question - in my "planning" what days are better days to be at either of the parks. Im making an assumption NOT to go on weekend... is there busy versus less busy days?

Thanks to any answers!

I've been on weekends and weekdays in September. It's pretty slow either way. You might want to think more about planning around the weather. IOA is not a great "rainy day" park, but IMO, Universal is.

I went to Orlando on the weekend of 12/16, supposedly a "dead" time. We hit US and IOA on Friday, and I would be surprised if there were 500 people in the parks. We literally just walked on every ride. Our only wait was waiting for more people to get on. It was truly empty. We were able to do both parks and check in to our hotel by four.

Saturday, we hit MK at WDW, and it was packed to capacity like I've never seen it. You had to move with the direction of the crowds...crazy packed at MK.

So I'd say you're pretty safe at US & IOA with whatever you decide

Try this link it gives a good indicator to visiting all the parks, its worked for me anyway and is simple to use like a traffic light. Green = Quiet, Red = Busy

Weekends are quiet but weekdays are busy? Something seems wrong with that on the website. I've always found Jan/Feb .. May .. Sept/Oct to be not too busy .. thats when I make my trips!
