It really depends on the crowds. We went the first weekend in June last year. It was very hot and crowded. However, we were staying at a Universal resort and received a fast pass. The pass given to you at the resort is like a disney fast pass EXCEPT that you can use it on every ride (with the exception of I think 2 rides) at ANY TIME. You dont have to return to the ride at a specific time. The rides have a special line for those with the passes and you sail through the line and onto the ride in no time. The pass the resort gives you is unlimited...in otherwords, you can go on any ride as many times as you want. You can buy a similar pass without staying at a Universal resort, however, I think the amount of times you can go on each ride with it is limited. With the pass, we were about to do both parks in one full day. There are alot of rides that we did not go on (the kids are under 10 yrs old).

I would say with those passes you could maybe do both parks in one day..or maybe one park per day depending on how many times you go on the rides and what type of park go-er you are (commando, layed-back, etc). If it is REALLY crowded and you dont have a pass...definitely you will need one day per park. Like disney, the lines get really long.

I would never do Universal at a high peak time without one of those passes. It is worth the money.
