what is universal like at easter?

[Candice30]

i may have to move my june trip up to the week i have off in april and right now i have easter week or can switch to week after. how are the crowds during easter at universal? i know disney is packed but don't think i will be splitting a stay and plan on being at universal the whole time.

i like crowds and warm weather; just isn't a florida theme park vacation without them. will i get them both?

Yes, you will get both, especially since Easter is April 16 this year. It should be pretty warm by then. I have been when Easter was in March and it was very warm. The parks are traditionally packed at Easter but if you are staying at a Universal resort you can get the Universal Express ride access where you bypass the regular line. If your not staying at Universal I think you can upgrade your park ticket for a fee to get that same option. I works pretty well, like a fast pass but for every ride. Well, actually I have to say it did work well, I was just there in January and since the park is fairly empty then anyway it is hard to say and the last time I was there in Easter was in 2003 and the express passes were only for hotel guests, they did not have the upgrade for non-universal guests, so it may not work as well as it once did. Good Luck and have fun!!!

If crowds are what you seek then MK is the ticket. Any time the parade is televised at MK, i.e, Christmas and Easter, the crowds are horrific. Most Spring Breaks happen here during March so Universal shouldn't be too bad.
