One or Two Days in October?
Hi all - we’re in the process of booking a trip for the three day weekend in October, flying in on Friday and visiting Universal on Saturday and Sunday. We’re primarily going for Epic Universe and I’m trying to decide what makes sense for us. We’re a family of four with a 7 year old and a 5 year old. They have both been to Disney multiple times, but this is their first Universal trip. We’re mostly coming for Super Nintendo World and Isle of Berk. My 7 year old is a theme park junkie - loves rollercoasters and thrill rides, while my 5 year old is much more interested in experiences, shows, and calmer rides.
What I’m currently trying to decide is if we should buy two days of single day passes and do Epic Universe on both Saturday and Sunday, or if we should book a 2 Day Pass with Epic Universe one day and Universal/IOA the other day. I’m stuck here, as I’m not totally convinced the rides and attractions in the other two parks are going to be as attractive to the kids.
Anyone with similar aged kids have any advice? Should we do the two days at Epic Universe or are the other two parks can’t miss?
Bonus question - I currently have the Double Tree Hilton booked as we had points, but now I’m debating whether it is worth it to stay on property somewhere closer…thoughts?
