What parks what day?

When we go to Disney, I have always relied on touringplans.com to help me decide which park we should go to each day. I have not been able to find anything like that to help me with our upcoming trip to Universal - so I am hoping to gain some wisdom from all the experts here!

We are going to be in Orlando from Tues. 7/19 (plane in at noon) through Tues. 7/26 (plane leaves at 5 pm). We are not staying onsite, but did book through Universal at a partner hotel, so we have early entry privileges to IOA. Our main objective is the WWoHP, but we definitely want to see all there is to offer at IOA and at US. We are also planning to go to Sea World and Aquatica, and possibly Wet and Wild if time permits. My only real plan, right now, is to go to Downtown Disney on the day we arrive to get a bit of a Disney-fix , have dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe, and then get back to our hotel and to bed early so we can get up at the crack of dawn on Weds. to hit IOA with our early entry.

I am thinking we will want at least 2 days for IOA, and can probably see US, Sea World, and Aquatica in one day, each - does that sound right? What will be our best days for IOA and WWoHP, crowd wise? Do we need to worry about the crowds at Sea World/Aquatica at all? Any suggestions for which days to visit each park is very much appreciated!!

That time is peak crowds at all parks so it's going to be very busy most days. Any park you visit on the weekends will be more crowded than during the week. Other than that...I don't think it really matters what day you do a park.

If you blindly pick, the best days at universal of T, W, TH.

At Disney, that is not necessarily the case. There are weird things that effect those parks, including EMH.

Last time I went, the least busy day at MK was a Saturday!

Seaworld and Aquatica can get a little busy, but not like the other parks. I would priortize the other ones, an fill in the gaps with Seaworld.
