Looking to plan a Florida trip March 27-April 1 2021. Easter falls on Sunday, April 4, 2021. We were planning on spending one day at a Disney park, two days at Universal, one day at Sea World and one day at Discovery Cove. Everything I read says to stay away from Disney around Easter. Is this a bad choice? We went to DIsney in 2015 in the summer and had crowds and we don't want to have that same experience again. Thank you.

Hi! We are coming to see the Harry Potter worlds and can either be there Wed - Sat March 13-16 or Sun-Wed March 17-20. I would have thought the 13-16 would be less crowded but it's slightly more expensive then so maybe I am wrong?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Coming June 2019. Is there any advantage to 10-14 as opposed to 17-21

Thanks

what time do people have to leave universal if they are not attending halloween horror

Thinking of going midweek from June 3rd to June 7th. Would it be really crowded and warrant an express pass even if it's midweek?

OHH man we are going February 16th- to the 20th. Mostly for just Universal and one day at Magic Kingdom. After reading this im wondering if we should spend extra money and do the hopper between the 2 parks and add the fast lane too. so we can do both park in one day. Is this doable in your opinion? Unless you think both parks with just the hopper ticket is enough? it looks like we are going during a busy time. AHHHH!!!

We are visiting in late May of this year. Do you know when the publish the special graduation dates the park closes early for middle schoolers?

Planning a visit March 31st to April 4th. What are the expected crowds? Thank you!

When will the Holiday Schedule be available? I'm going the 1st week of December and trying to plan for the parades and Christmas events.

Planning on a trip April 13-17 2019. How long will waits potentially be if we have unlimited pass?

Thanks LaRod

Hi, Thinking of going to Universal March 7-11, 2019. How will the crowds be and do you recommend the unlimited express pass? Thanks

Planning on visiting Universal on Saturday April 13, 2019 thru Wednesday April 17, 2019 with the unlimited express pass. Will this be ok with Spring Break crowds? Not sure exactly when it the most crowded.

What is the best way to get from the airport to the hotel? Has anyone ever done Uber and how much was it?

My family and I go from 9th April for 10 days, we obviously expect it to be busy but was wondering if its worth going later in the afternoon/evening or very early morning to avoid the peak of the crowds?

My husband and I will be traveling to Disney World on Jan 26 and leaving Sat Feb 1st. What is there to do there while we are waiting for our room at the resort on Sunday? There isn't much time that day since we can't get into our room til late afternoon. What is there to do while we wait?

i - we're planning a return to Universal Orlando *sometime* the week of Jan 1- 5 ,2019 (one day, as we're also at Disney), with 2 park tickets. Is there a particular day that seems better during that week (considering we're balancing it with Disney)? And, should express passes be necessary? Generally,to get the passes,

Thanks!

My son and I are going to Universal for 1 day, Park-to-Park. Do you recommend a fast pas?

Hi -

We are going to Universal with our sons (ages 8 and 10) from April 17-23, 2019. We are debating staying at Cabana Bay versus Royal Pacific. If we do Cabana Bay we will buy Express passes. My kids love swimming so the pool area is very important. Can you recommend one of those over the other? Thanks!

Is there a reason why Jan. 17-21, 2019 is considered worst time to visit? I see that Pro Bowl will be held 27th, and Harry Potter event is not going to happen. Does this change the crowd predictor?

I will be visiting Universal Islands of Adventure on Dec 27th. Just to get an idea, how much of the park can I approximately cover in a day that being a Christmas week.

1. Do you know the 2019 dates for Christmas decor and shows?

2. Is November still warm enough to swim?

Hi we are planning on visiting universal 31st March 2019 - 1st April. We are staying at one of the hotels that offer the Unlimited fast track passes will this still be busy? Or as we have the passes will this make our trip easier. Looking at your dates for 2019 I think we are visiting the wrong time hahah x

We will be going to Universal Orlando Christmas Day and the day after. Do they limit the Universal Pass? if so, how soon would we need to get them before they sell out?

We are a family of 5, planning a visit the last week of February. Is it possible to do both parks (we want Harry Potter World) in one day? Or is it better to have 2 days to cover everything? Thx for your help!

Hello! We are taking our son for his 7th birthday on May 2nd & 3rd (Thursday & Friday). I was wondering if it would be worth it to add-on the fast passes to our current general tickets? And if so, any idea how much that add-on would be? Thanks ????

We will be in Orlando Dec. 30, 2018- Jan 4, 2019 for our 2nd time at Unversal Studio's and Island of adventure, getting 2-day park to park tickets. Our "kids" are 21, 17, and 14 yr old boys. We are arguing over where to spend New Years Eve - at one of the parks, or Disney Springs and hitting one of the parks on Jan.1st and another day before we leave. Your advice?

This is such a great resource for those who are traveling to Orlando. From the crowd calendar to the park plans to the many other suggestions and recommendations, this site has more information than a person can use but everyone will find something to help in planning their trip

Hi! I'm planning a trip during president's week in February 2019. Should i anticipate crazy crowd volume and splurge on the extra cost of the express pass?

I’m looking to visit February 24th-Mar 1st 2019,how will the crowds be during this time?!

We always go the last week of April for iur Anniversary and crowds would be low. Why is it so crowded at this time anymore?

You said September is peak rain season, whats the weather like during January-March?

This probably isn't the right place to ask this question, but does Universal still have their refillable cup program or do they only have the Coke Freestyle program?

We will be visiting during Spring break. March 16-22, 2019. Will probably only do 1 or 2 days at Universal Florida. Any ideas which 2days would be best?

Thank you for all the info.

I’m going to apend Christmas at Universal and I’m wondering if the express line will be too crowded too. Do you have an idea of the worst it can be ?

Thanks a lot

Thank you for all the great advice! I am trying to figure out the child to adult ratio for Nov 29 - Dec 2. If there are a lot of kids riding the rides, I would splurge for the express pass but if this is more of an adult crowd due to time of year I may risk it. The crowd tracker is showing 5/10 to 6/10.

We are taking our first visit to Universal from December 8th - 13th. How crowded do you think the parks will be during that time? Do you think the weather may be warm enough to go to Volcano Bay?

Just wondering if I can do 1 day park to park tickets for jan 2019? When I choose them it has be select dates but its only through dec 2018...help

I am spending 1 day at Universal during the Thanksgiving weekend (11/24/18). I bought the 2 park pass because I am really going for HP's Wizarding World. I am going solo. Is it really worth it to buy the express pass since I will always be the single rider?

Love your site! Thanks!

We will be at Universal Studios and Adventure Island the week of Thanksgiving 2018 (11/19-11/22); what type of wait times can we expect with the Universal Express Pass? We just visited during early October 2018 and the Express Pass lines were only 5-10 minutes. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

This looks like a good guide line. We are a family of 3. I was looking at March 2-6. Universal studios to do 2 days and than to Dayton beach for a day. Any and all recommendations would be helpful.

Hi, we are going to Universal on Dec 9th and 10th, a Sunday and a Monday. How do you think the crowds will be?

Curious if I buy anytime tickets now will be good in 2019? When on Universal Studios website, you can't select past March just wanted to make sure they are good for all of 2019?

We ended up staying an extra night in Orlando in hopes of hitting the Universal parks today. Do you think we will need the express pass for today, September 10, 2018. (Sorry for short notice. I just found your site, and am unsure with the crowd calendar.). Thanks!!

With the 2 day park to park with 1 day free ticket---If we go to Universal Studios & then leave to rest before returning for Halloween Horror Nights, is this considered 2 parks in one day? Just a little confusing for this great grannie! :-) Thanks & am excited to having a small family reunion in Oct. - Nov.

Looking to go to universal Feb 23 to March 2 . Trying to decide if we will need Express passes for that time. Everything I find is moderate crowd and I really am not sure if that would still need Express passes. Obviously hotel stay would be extremely cheaper if I didn't but wasn't sure if you recommend them or not for that time

Hello, Love your site and hope to book our Universal trip here. (Just bought WDW tickets for the Int'l Art Festival!) With the crowd calendar showing 9/10 at Universal the week of January 1--would it still be "doable" with staying at one of the premium hotels and using unlimited express? (And adjusting expectations?) Or do you recommend finding another time? Thank you!!

Our family plans to come to Universal Studios the week before Christmas 2018. We were wondering if should purchase jump ahead passes because it may be crowded that week or have the family just wait in the lines.

We are looking at bringing a group in 2019 either May 1-3 or May 10-12. Which of those dates would be best? How is the weather early to mid May?

Thanks for such an informative post! I can't wait to go again and check out the new water park!

We definitely need to check this out!!
