Whole park in half a day?

[MarkMark]

Does this sound correct? I am using touringplans, and it is saying if I arrive at early entry (staying onsite) I can be done with most of the park before lunch, on Dec 29th?!?!?

Hulk, Fearfall, Spidey, Pteradon,Jurassic, Forbidden Journey, Hippogriff, Dragon Challenge, Poseidens Fury, and CaroSUESSel...all before 12:30.

I want to believe, but it doesnt seem right.

Same thing for Universal studios, all the major rides and attractions and done by 1pm

Confused

I guess it is possible, but do you really want to just be running from ride to ride? I would expect there to be some lines during that peak time even with express passes. If you plan for, say 20 minutes wait per ride and then some leisurely time to shop and munch, I'd be more likely to add a few hours onto that. Early admission starts at 7 am, I do believe.

During EA, you may be able to get right onto FJ (will still take you 10 minutes to walk the queue) but it is unlikely you'll get right onto Gringotts.

For Pteranodon Flyers, there are no express passes either, so that can be a bit of a wait. There are also things to explore that aren't on that list, like the Jurassic Park Discovery Centre.

With a 7:00 EE you can get a lot done before the crowds hit. So, if you move and have a good plan I believe it. That's 6-7 hours of "power riding". You mentioned staying onsite, but you didn't mention if you had express or not. That will also make a huge difference. There are also several major rides that depending on the weather you may want to ride. Dudley Do Right, Popeye and Bluto, Cat in the Hat, One Fish two Fish, Storm Force. Also remember Dragon Challenge has 2 sides that are different. And then there are the shows, the Frog Choir and Spirit Rally at Hogmead and Sinbad.

If you showed up at 10:00 or 11:00 and were staying onsite you'd be looking at a very different picture.

Adding to what Damo said, If you're staying at Cabana Bay and EE is all you have. I'd "power ride" those first few hours then slow down and enjoy yourself. If it's warm enough go back to the hotel and swim from 2:00 - 5:00 when the parks are swamped. If you have Unlimited Express Passes because you're staying at a deluxe resort, Chill out a little bit. Hit Forbidden Journey during EE then at 8:00 goto the Flyers. After that, take your time and enjoy yourself.
