That is what I figured. Imagine both WDW and US are crazy busy. Thanks.
All local theme parks are jammed that week and going to WWoHP is going to be an adventure. You won't catch me at any of the parks that week...and I live here.Wanted to know what the crowds would be like during the week following Christmas. I know the crowds at Disney are the largest of the year, but have also heard that the crowd levels at Universal are down comparatively speaking. Just wondering if anyone had any info/advice on this? Want to experience Grinchmas and HP. Were there for the grand opening and didn't get to experience the shops. Should this be a problem again? Doing a 1 day ticket for IOA only. Thanks for the replies.
We were planning on heading to Universal on Wed. Oct 5th. Is Wed usually a low crowd day. We may go for a 2nd day on that Sat or Sun which day would be least crowded. We have done Disney many times but never universal. It makes me nervous to not have enough info.
We want to absolutely do WWoHP it's the reason for the trip. Should we run there first at opening or go later in the day as some people suggest because we won't have early entry option?
What else should we not miss. It will be Me, DH, DD (9), DS (9), DD (3), DS (3). I don't do big coasters so I could take the little kids somewhere while DH takes the big kids on the coasters.
I would love to "zag" while everyone else "zigs" but I don't know where to find out that info.

Wednesday the 5th should be a light-crowd day. Whether you hit WWoHP early or late in the day is up to you, I've had success with both.
If you do return that weekend, generally Sundays will have much more manageable crowds than Saturdays. If that's Columbus Day weekend though--I think it is--the difference will be less noticeable.
We will be in Hogwarts on the 18th without early entry, sadly. Do they still route the offsite guests in another direction, or are we safe to assume we can travel by Green Eggs and Ham?
We plan to do WWoHP in the morning, skip over to Universal, then back to finish our Islands' adventure! I purchased the 2 park/1 day ticket and Express Pass just to be safe.
Have the locker/non-locker lines to FJ been changed at all? I know some were entering through Filch's. Thanks to this board, I have purchased a handy-dandy fanny pack to hopefully avoid the lockers.
I don't think you'll have any trouble going through Seuss and GE&H. I believe they do that other route for off-sites during more peak times. No changes to the lockers at FJ, either.
Excellent! Thank you for all you do for us on this board!
