We're thinking about coming down a day earlier and going to Universal. The kids have never been and the oldest really wants to go for the Harry Potter stuff. Not sure yet.

I live 10 minutes from Universal and I haven't been over there, other than CityWalk and Pearl Jam at the Gibson Amphitheater (which is now Harry Potter) in more than 20 years. FYI, parking is $20 dollars, which I found out the hard way when I went to the IMAX presentation of
Rogue One. I should have Uber'd.
Be sure to stay on top of the Fast Passes. Plan your day out, which rides at which time, etc. so the wait won't be as long. You can't stack Fast Passes all day, you have to wait until you're within the time frame (usually 1 hour) of your current pass in order to get another pass. It's jacked up.
I talked to a friend earlier this week that took his family to Orlando that told me it's like $50 additional per person to purchase Fast Passes at Universal, which he said was totally worth it. It's too bad Disney doesn't have a similar option because I'd grab it in a heartbeat.
I've taken my kids down for a full 12 hours before and we've only gotten into 6 or 7 rides.
Good luck!
