Our flights got changed by our airline after I had already purchased our tickets for MNSSHP and also rented a DVC room for October 24th. We were initially going to do Universal as the first day of our trip, spend time at the beach in the middle, then do MNSSHP as the last day of our trip, but now we aren't flying out till the 26th instead of the 25th - so we are doing Universal on the 25th (one day p2p ticket).
What this means, though, is that we will be out late the night of the 24th at MNSSHP, so doing the EE at Universal on Wed Oct. 25th (which is at 7 a.m....yawn) is probably not going to be possible with travel time and not wanting to have a super cranky year old wizard on my hands. We are typically rope drop people, so I know what we are missing by not getting there at 7 - but in the grand scheme of things, I think it will be better for all involved (us and the people around us...lol).
I'm wondering if you think we might be okay if we arrive at IoA for their opening (9am) and then head straight to HP area and ride FP then take the train over to US to do the other HP stuff there - I'm thinking lots of the EE people from US will probably be there, but that we might do okay with crowds at US...or if we could push ourselves to get to US by 8:00 a.m. will that be a better plan? It's a HHN, so US has reduced hours - not sure if that has the same affect on crowds there as MNSHHP does on MK crowds for party days (they are lower). WWYD if you were us? It looks like it's predicted to be a relatively low crowd day (4 on touring plans; recommended on other sites). Thanks! Our main goal is the HP stuff, but would also like to explore a bit in the two parks as well.
