which days should we go to universal/ioa?

[maddiesmommie]

Our trip is booked for 10/22-10/29, we're staying at Cypress Palms. Our potential days are Sunday through Friday. I'm planning 4 days Disney, 2 at Universal. Which days of this week would be the lowest crowds at Universal/Ioa? Thanks

i would go monday and tuesday.

you are avoiding the nights that hhn will be held.

Just guessing, but I vote Tuesday/Wednesday.

that is what i usually say but due to their dates, i couldn't say that.

normally i tell newbies that tues thru thur are the best days of the week to visit.

since they are going when hhn will be on, i would go on the monday rather than the wednesday that week.

the unknown will be how will the crowds be in the park on wednesday afternoon.

Fair enough--you know your stuff. I was under the mistaken impression HHN ran Thursday-Sunday.

you do a great job in helping others on the universal forums.
you know your stuff too mesaboy!

the last few weeks of HHN, wednesdays are added on to the event.
first 2 weekends, it isn't.


it's just that i am completely and totally addicted to HHN.....

Aha, that would make the difference. I didn't realize that. Thanks!

What day would you go if you are going the first week of Aug? We are looking to go next summe for the first time and are planning on 1 day at each park. We will not be staying on property and we usually go early for rope drop.

We will have Sun-Fri. Actually the first few days are still July but it will be Sun-Fri. What days would you suggest? We will be spending 4 days in the Disney parks.

Thanks

since you are going next year, you have time to sort out the days for visiting the parks.

so much can change in the next 16 months in crowd patterns.

the usual best guess is to go week days, monday - thursday and avoid the weekends on crowded time periods.

the summer months are always busy.

Are fridays any better than saturdays?

Sometimes...but Fridays can be just as busy as the weekends. It depends on when you're going.

Thanks this is awesome advice! Do you think the crowds will be pretty reasonable at this time of year? Do you think we'll get to see everything and ride things multiple times?

Yes...October is a great time to visit. You shouldn't have any problems doing what you want to do.
