Two solid addition to two really great parks.

I am planning to take the family to Orlando next year for Universal, Sea World, and most likely BGT. When are a couple of times to visit with a better chance of less crowds?

UPDATE: Actually I got my answer through an Internet search, I should have tried that first. Most people tend to recommend mid Jan - mid May (except spring break and school holidays) and after Labor Day - mid Dec (except any holidays during that time also). They also recommend week days, specifically later on in the week.

the real question is how long do you wanna stay down there? You wanna visit 5-6 parks from what you are saying so far...so I would give myself atleast 8 days to make it a complete trip and thats a min of 8 days...

Well that advice might have worked before Potter but I would say those months are pretty packed now.

So there really isn't a good time to visit?

well from what I read universal's attendance went up by like 50%. so if they were use to seeing 2k now they see 3k a day. You have to pace yourself. I have been aug, sept, oct, nov of last year but as a hotel guest I got in early...so I never been back to potterland until the evenings. Now last nov was the busiest I seen it...

Thanks coasterbruh and coasterdave. I think we'll postpone going to Orlando, then, and go to BGW instead. Everybody on here has said tons of good things about that park and we've never been.
