Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report – November 9 to 15, 2014
Our predictions last week told us that Universal crowds would be about average the first half of the week then very low for the second half. We were half right. Crowds were low all week. In fact, last week constitutes some of the lowest crowds we’ve seen over a seven day period at Universal Orlando Resort.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report:

What to Expect This Week
November 16 to 22, 2014
How Crowded is Universal Orlando Resort?
While guests at Walt Disney World pushed crowd levels as high as ’8′ last week, Universal Orlando Resort experienced some of the lowest crowds of the year. We expect similar doldrums for one more week until Thanksgiving arrives when the parks will become very busy.
