I am trying to decide which day to go to an early show so I need to know b/w Universal,IOA, and SW-Whcih is the quickest to get through in a day? We will have option to go back to favorites another couple of nights but need to be back at room around 4 to leave around 5 fo Cirque De Soleil.
 
I'm not sure about SW, but between IOA and US, I'd say US would be quickest...IOA always seems to get super crowded, however, US will take longer if you want to see a couple shows in between rides (which I do strongly recommend :))
 
IOA is the fastest because there's only 1 show to see (Sinbad).
If you're at the gate early, at 08:15am, you can take a lap in 4 hours. You start with Hulk and go clockwise doing the rides in order. Doesn't matter if you get soaked on the water rides, because you'll be going back to your hotel soon. Just put your shoes and socks in the middle compartment on Popeye, otherwise, they'll get soaked and you'll have water logged feet. You must wear shoes and socks as you board the raft, but after you sit down, put them in the middle.
 
IOA is fastest if you have the FOTL as it is rides and you get right on and go to another. US is more shows and you have to wait for a large group to go in and get on, and the shows are longer than a ride.
 

I think alot depends on whether you want to ride all the coasters - I would say Universal - especially if you have children - because they want to do all their things - and there's more for them in IOA. But personally - I would do the best of both and spend the morning in IOA, lunch then go to Universal for a couple of hours - maybe see a show if you time it right for the last part to relax a bit before heading back. :D
 
I can understand if time is against you, this is the way you would do it, but I don't understand how you can do IOA in less than 1 day. We have gone everytime and spend a day there and never truly do everything. Also, you really cannot enjoy the theming and atmosphere when you are on a schedule like that.
 
Thanks for the replies. We will be able to go back another day but I wanted to know which was the quickest so that I could plan which day to go to Cirque De Soliel. I am trying to use the best judgement of time with the 6 days that we will have there. I appreciate the help!!!

I am glad you will have more time there. You will love it! As you will Cirque du Soleil-:D
