How long do you allot for Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure?

We were there in mid October last year and allotted two days, one for each as well and I thought it was plenty of time. We never used our park hopper option, but if I recall it's not too much more expensive so I'd jeep it if you're concerned about wanting to do WWoHP both days.

When my husband and I go one day at each is plenty and we ride all the rides a few times. I could personally spend a whole day in Harry Potter world though, so you have to factor that in too. Both parks are very small in comparison to Disney!

I also find one day per park to be sufficient. I wouldn't get the hopper option unless I only had one day or really really really wanted to visit WWoHP both days.

We just got back and were able to ride everything in both parks multiple times with ease in 1 day.
I would not use 2 days unless during a busy season when you cant walk on the rides.

We never waited longer than 10 minutes for any ride.
October is awesome for Orlando.

We did both parks in 1 day. Of course it was only me and hubby. So we walked past the Dr Suess area and a few other rides. We also skipped some of the roller coasters. We went to Harry and saw everything, but the wand picking the wizard. The people that I know say the wand picking the wizard is only fun the person that was picked and it is a long wait to get inside. That is just what I have heard is all. Some people might just enjoy watching it.

The biggest thing I remember about Harry Potter World was I was buying an Christmas ornament and the person in front of me had bought 580.00 worth of stuff. My credit card cringed in fear.

If we go again in the Christmas season, so we could see Manheim Steamroller and the Macy's Parade balloons, I would go again otherwise would just skip it. Then again once they expand HP I might have to go again.

We went in June. We did 2 parks, 2 days, no hopper. In truth, we spent about 6 hrs. at each park & were done. We had an extra day to use, too, IIRC, but no one was interested in going back for the 3rd day.

I think that you'll probably have plenty of time with the tickets that you bought. I haven't been myself for years, I'm always too busy with all there is to do at Disney to leave property!

One day for each here too.

Wife and I did it all in two days and I am a slow walker.

I used to have an annual pass to US and IOA and you can definitely spend the whole day there if you are planning on doing all the rides and attractions. 2 days is plenty to see all that you need to see though.... There are some rides that are definitely better than others... But that all depends on what YOU like. I can give recommendations if you would like based on the last time that I was there . The mummy is top on the list. Awesome ride.

When we had two days allotted for each park I think we left by around 4pm each day.

We normally do one park each day and find that plenty enough including one meal at NASCAR cafe

We seem to be able to cover it all in two days, one park each day. We usually have time to spare for shopping and table service dinners.

We stay at Portofino Bay for a week! During this time we do both Uni and IOA. Although we also slot in SeaWorld for an afternoon!

We like to revisit the parks even though they are both do-able in 2 days IMO. We were there in Sept and I fell in love with the new Transformers ride! I could spend a week on that alone!

Glad to hear you had a good time, Mushi!

I'm so glad you posted this! The conference I'm going to after the Princess half is at Universal, so I was hoping to get the downlow on what is good. Sounds like fun!
