Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report – November 30 to December 6, 2014
Post-Thanksgiving week crowds at Universal Orlando Resort were very low, some of the lowest we’ve seen at any theme park this Fall. Guests to Universal last week saw near empty parks in the early morning with lower than average crowds building in the afternoons. Only Saturday saw park levels above a level ‘2’ on our scale.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report:
