To add another magic your way ticket to our disney package would only cost $36. for all 4 of us. But then getting there would cost money too. We haven't decided if we will rent a car, since other than getting to the fairfeild and getting to DW will be the only time we would need one. We have gone to DW the last 3 summers (except oldest son 22, this will be his first trip.) and haven't been to Universal. Now that it is only 23 days away, I'm really going into planning mode. All tips would be helpful.

My suggestion is that if you're not really interested in adding another day to Disney, enjoy the resort ammenities and pool and City Walk. Or, better yet, see if transportation is available from your hotel to Sea World. Sea World is a wonderful experience and has one of the best coasters in Florida - Kraken. Journey to Atlantis is also a high quality water/dark ride/coaster experience and Wild Arctic is one of the best themed animal exhibits ever created.
Originally Posted By bethany Hi, My husband and I spent two days at Universal in late April. It was fun, but we definitely saw all we wanted to in those two days. We did Islands one day and Universal the other...even had time to reride some favorites. I think 4 days is too much, unless the lines are huge.
Originally Posted By Bob Paris I have to echo what others have said. I think you could see EVERYTHING at both parks in three days. I don't know what your passes allow but we got a combined USF/IOA/SW/BG ticket and spent a day at Sea World. If you are allowed that I would definitely spend one day at SW.

I assumed we were at the Fairfeild across the street from Universal Studios, but I checked my paperwork from AAA and we are at the one only 1 mile from DW! I was really happy about that so now it will be no problem adding another day for DW.
