We did both US & IOA in 2 days when we went a few years ago without the express passes & early entry, but we were flat out & it was before all the new Harry Potter stuff etc opened. I'm not sure if I'd fancy trying to squeeze VB in too but depending on what you like/dislike & can skip in the parks maybe that will give you more time?

In answer to your question it’s not enough time to do everything in the 3 parks. With the express line access you will be able to do all the major attractions no problem so it really depends on your definition of everything and how much endurance/desire you have to go hard at it all day both days

With early access to VB I guess if you are doing all 3 you’d probably want to do that on the morning of day 2. Personally assuming you’re getting either Disney water park or aquatica access at some other point in your holiday I’d leave vb and use the 2 days to see most of what the 2 theme parks have to offer

We nearly did this mid august last year (a sunday and Monday). we did park early entry on 1st day, I think it was only ioa. we left mid aft when lightning threats were closing coasters, for a little break, and went back in early evening to closing - loved riding dr doom and hulk in the dark.

Next day we went early entry at VB - I think it was 7.30am as it was so soon after opening. we stayed there to around 10am. got loads done in the early entry hour, but we didn't have time to do everything at the waterpark, and never sat on our lounger! not the usual waterpark relaxation, but we probably wouldn't have gone in there without that early entry opportunity. we went back to rpr checked out for 11 and went back into parks till around 5/6pm.

The only major ride we didn't do was king kong as it broke down whilst we were in the q, but we did hp rides once, and hulk at least 3 times in those 2 days. we did nearly all the major rides we wanted to do at vb too, and still had time to chill at the rpr pool for 3/4 hour on the first day.

Good luck with your trip

i would say you need at least 3 days to do the 3 parks.

We did 2 parks in 2 days in August 2016. Did early entry both days to do HP. But we had been before so I think we may have skipped a couple of the attractions in each park and didn't do absolutely everything! We did do all the major ones though in HP did Kong a Hulk RRR etc. Think we may have done MIB 3 times one morning 😀

Twice travelling in October we have managed to do both parks in 2 days, but even with express passes I doubt we could have managed volcano bay as well.

This year we could have done with a third Universal day as we visited
The day after Irma and a fair bit was still closed
