will be in fl next week

[nancyv58]

My family will be in Florida next week but only for 5 days and we are attending MNSSHP on the 25th and have an illuminations cruise on the 24th. We are thinking of going to Universal on the 26th, how are the crowds at this time of the year and are special things going on for Halloween? Any help would be appreciated. Can you do both parks in one day, IOA and universal? Thanks

Parks close early for HHN, IOA at 5pm, USF at 6pm, both open at 9am. If you get to the gate early before 9am, you can do one park.

If money is not an object, then you could do this. See USF in the day, then pay for HHN and do the rides at IOA that night because they will stay open until 2am. Most people are doing the mazes, and the rides have short waits. That would be a very long day, and cost about $90 ($50 USF, $36.95 Upgrade Peek Night HHN) a person, but you could do it. Saturday nights sell out fast, so you'd have to book your tickets online and pick them up at the Kiosk machine.

On my day Thursday October 10th, I did IOA in the morning, over to USF in the afternoon for 1 attraction, checked in my hotel, rested, then came back to IOA for HHN. It can be done, but it's alot of walking and my feet hurt.
