How many days in parks

4 days universal - we are all harry potter and jurassic park fans
3 days at water parks - including Volcano bay
2 rest/shopping days.
How does that sound?

if you really wanna nail it - have a look at the free guides on Undercover Tourist

designed for American market who are only in florida for a few days - so 1 day in each park - tells you what to fast pass, what to q for, where to eat - you can just adapt it for your own plans/preferences...

we do it all a bit slower but its good

Others may completely disagree of course. I'm only saying this because Disney is so vast and so much to see, it can be useful to have one extra day to go check out the things at Disney you might not have been able to see in the one day per park.

Love the idea of express passes, and that all depends on time of year, in terms of how useful they will be. I've never found I need them for Universal at the least busy times that we go. HHN though... that needs express passes of some kind. Huge queues.

Can't wait to see Volcano Bay

EDIT: I meant to also say that we never spend whole days at water parks. We tend to hit the parks first thing, and once the crowds pick up we shoot off to a water park for a few hours

Hope that helps.

It does, and I may look to move the dates in universal to the first week and save some more time for Disney. We go 12th August - so anticipate it being busy.
What is HHN?

I'm going to look at undercover tourist now as well.

undercovertourist/bl...touring-plans/

these 1 day or 2 day touring plans are great if you want to cram.

someone once posted doing all 4 Disney parks in one day!

we are lucky if we can take in 4 in one week - first visit we did tooooo much - sw, unix2, disx6, both outlets, wally, we eve did LEGOLAND - this year we had sooooo many pool days at crb - amazing

but if you want to maximise your park days - touring plans are the way to go. there are paid ones - but UTs ones are free.

HHN = Halloween Horror Nights. It's a special event held at Universal Studios on certain nights (weekends mostly), end of September through October.

It consists of haunted houses filled with actors who try to scare you witless, and special street performances.

I've been fortunate enough to avoid August time, but every so often I get to see crowd levels or wait times for such busy periods, and I think planning and especially early morning planning are essential at such busy times of year.

Good luck
