Ok, I'm actually "happy stressed". We are arrive at Univeral\Portofino Bay for an 8 day\7 night stay next Saturday! We are hard core Disney folk but this is our first Universal vacation. We have a 5 day 3 park "hopper" included with our resort stay. We have been reading a LOT about the parks, food and hotels the past few weeks in preparation, and while I feel good about the trip, I'm also stressed we are going to have enough time. We usually do two weeks at Disney, I realize there is more there, but tend to do a relaxed pace with a lot of resort time.
As I THINK our 5 day ticket is enough for the parks, the other side of me is freaking out over the possible wait times for things like Velocicoaster and Hagrid's. Then the other side says wait, we have express pass for everyone else, lol. In all reality though, over an 8 day span, 5 full days for the parks, and one resort day, do any Universal regulars feel we will be able to do it all and then some? This of course includes Volcano Bay which we have also never been too. (would like to do more than one "waterpark" day).
Overall we are very excited, but man, as crazy as it sounds, knowing Disney inside out forward and back for 20+ years makes it very scary going somewhere totally new no matter how much research you do!
Thanks for input, comments or smacks!
