Going to go to Orlando in August. plan to do a split stay between Disney and Universal with main goal being Epic Universe. We would arrive late Friday night and stay one place Friday - Tuesday and then Tuesday night - Saturday at the next spot. Would you do Disney first or Universal first? Thanks!

I’d do Epic second so that youre at the park during the weekdays instead of weekend. I’m guessing Sat-Sun-Mon will be more busy than Tues-Wed-Thurs.

Personally, I would do Disney first because I feel like Universal is a more relaxing vacation. And I prefer to end on a more relaxing vacation.

Are you staying at a deluxe with Express at Universal?

If so, I would do the following....

Saturday - IOA/UO
Sunday - IOA/UO
Monday - Epic Universe

I doubt Monday would be busy at Epic Universe, you'd have express for the weekend, and you could do Disney on less crowded days.

If you dont have Express, then I'd listen to We'reAllMadHere

I have a feeling Epic is going to be very busy for a very long time...don't know if day of the week will change that.

This is a fair point. Are any hotels offering Express Pass for Epic? I know Helios does not have Express included but I wasn’t sure if the others do.

Nope.

We did WDW first back in '21, and then did equal amount of days at USO. We were amazed at home much MORE we liked USO. Go that route!
