cruisenewbie Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Anyone visit Universal Studios the week BEFORE Christmas? I know it'll be crazy between Christmas and New Year's, but wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trip from Port Canaveral if we visit the week before (12/17), or if it'll be too crowded to justify the 2 hr round trip?

OrlandoC Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 It will be busy. If you can buy the Express passes (works on all the rides except the new Hagrid coaster) it might be worth it but without them I wouldn't try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdixon22 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 I was there last year on a Sunday, the 16th, and it was not bad at all. The park is beautiful at Christmas. I would give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaCruiseGirl1210 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I will say the week before christmas will be packed. I've worked at Universal during that time period and it will be packed. How long are you in port for? I would say take into account the 45+ minute trip there and back... plus traffic during the holidays... If you want to go I would say definitely don't expect to do everything... like @OrlandoC mentioned above get express pass if possible, but don't expect that express will give you less than 20 minute waits, you will still be waiting... If this is your first time ever going, I would say it might be better to come down for a specific trip to UO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
