Universal between Christmas and new year?

[carinagh]

I have read that Disney is crazy busy at Christmas. Just wondering if universal is the same? Considering a few days after Christmas in universal then maybe do Disney in the first week of the new year when hopefully it’s a bit quieter. Any opinions? Many thanks

Unfortunately I don’t have an answer but I’d be interested in knowing what the crowds are like. Hopefully somebody will come along soon with some advice.

We did a quick 6 days In Orlando without the kids from 27th Dec 2018. Universal wasn't to bad for crowds . Got on the rides ok without long waits. Obviously new years eve was busy later on in the day.

I was at Universal a few years ago on 30th & 31st December and it was exceptionally busy (as was the first week of Jan in Disney) - if you want to see pics of crowds etc have a look at my trip report in signature below.

Christmas & New Year are the busiest times of the year and the first weekend of January Disney hold their run Disney event so it doesn't really quieten down until the second week of January. It was still a lovely time but definitely huge crowds and planning necessary.
