Which park for MLK weekend?

[LisaAJ]

Hi everyone

I am trying to finalise our movements for our trip in Dec/Jan and just can't make the decision on which park/s (Universal or WDW) to book over the MLK long weekend.

These are the two options we have;

9-18 Jan - Pop Century (Marathon Weekend 7-11 Jan)
18-20 Jan - On-site Universal Hotel (MLK weekend 17-19 Jan)

OR

9-11 Jan - On-site Universal
11-20 Jan - WDW Hotel (MLK weekend (17-19 Jan)

So what would you do? Keeping in mind we will have the Express passes for Universal to help with the crowds over MLK weekend. Also if we take the second option, the MLK weekend will more than likely be our second visit to the park so the crowds may not matter as much.
Our dates are not at all flexible unfortunately as we are coming from the other side of the world!


Help!!
TIA
