We've been doing 3 days. But to be fair we haven't toured with EP as of yet and both 2011 and 2017 tickets were bought with a buy 2 days get 1 day free option so cost wise it was the parking (and of course food) for that 3rd day.Usually we go for at least two days and we're kinda board by about halfway through the 2nd day
I've enjoyed having that more leisurely pace in terms of it but EP would lessen the amount of waits..though with Irma the waits were pretty dang low to begin with.
For my case Universal is never an add on it's part of the vacation
. The amount of days is different spent at each though. I had liked alternating the days to give us a rest from WDW especially because my husband loves larger roller coasters but that won't be likely feasible the next trip with the ticket restrictions both WDW and USO have put in place in terms of how many days you have to use them after your first use.-------------------------
I see your point though. In terms of those slow rides Universal wasn't built with that in mind. Disney def. was. To that point though my husband gets so bored on those rides. He rides them for me lol but he would prefer more action. CoP and PeopleMover are def. acceptable slow rides to my husband though. The High in the Sky Seuss ride is a good one- you can get great views and pictures (both in day and night), Cat in the Hat is a slow ride, you can also sit and watch street acts if you will like Blues Brothers. I don't know if construction around it impacted it when they went but we dried off (after riding the 3 water rides in a row) just outside the splash zone for Jurassic Park River Adventure. That was so fun to relax and people watch not only the ones coming down on the ride but also those getting wet because of it. There's a QS burger/chicken sandwich style place inside the Discovery place too. In terms of HP we sat on the benches for a while just resting. One time we did have a beer though. The music and the ambience was nice to rest. We did more of that in Hogsmeade because seating was less prevalent in Diagon Alley.
But really a day is just not enough because no matter the lack of slow rides in comparison to Disney you still feel the crunch of just doing stuff to get your money's worth (maybe even moreso with having EP). On the other hand age, height and interest level in attractions available def. impacts this as well.
