Opinions please ... Is 2 days enough at universal?

I'd love to hear if you think 2 days is enough to do most thing in universal in early September? We are not fussed about volcano bay and it would probably only be DH doing the "big coasters" as we have a 8 year old with us ... We are tempted to just get the 2 day tickets and save a few quid but can't seem to decide

Other's may differ, but personally I would say 2 days is enough. We have always gone in September and have never spent more than 2 days there, and did everything we wanted.

Not for us, we usually do four days. We also visit before our flight home.

I agree that if you are going to be there from start to finish, then 2 days at that time of year should be adequate.

You do have the option of booking a Universal hotel for the fast passes (make sure it is included as not all do) to reduce queueing time further, which will help you do more.

Unless you are a crazy Harry Potter fan like my DD2 and just want to spend hours there, hanging out pretending you are part of the HP world, then I think you would be fine in 2 days.

As I indicated just now, 2 days would never do for us!

In my opinion, yes 2 days is enough as long as you get there for opening, in my experience it's pretty quiet up until around 11:00 when it starts filling up

Is it much cheaper? I was just looking and I think there wasn't much in it.

I had ruled it out and then Phil's cousin has just told me it's the best thing he's ever seen. And he's a theme park consultant (what an job!).

So now I'm looking again.
