Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report – November 2 to 8, 2014
Last week was the slowest week at Universal Orlando Resort since early September. We saw crowd levels less than ‘5’ all week at both parks. Our estimates were consistently a level or two too high which tells us that attendance may be down at the resort, a good sign for guests who want to visit in November without experiencing significant crowds.
Let’s look at how the crowd levels stacked up each day last week on the TouringPlans.com Universal Orlando Resort Crowd Report:

I was there on Friday November the 7th. We got there at rope drop. We were a party of 7 and had done all of Potter land, Olivanders (our friends son got picked!) and the Simpsons area all before lunch! We pretty much rode everything before leaving at 6pm. Just amazed me that we could do all that on a Friday.
