We were at Universal from 1/9-14 this past year and it was busier than I expected. We have always stayed at Cabana Bay (and LOVE it) so have never had EP. Was it do-able with the EP? Yes. Am I thinking about booking an EP hotel for the same time frame next year? Yes. Part of this is because we were in town for the Disney marathon weekend (1/9-12 in 2020) and that cut into our park time this past year, but it was busy enough to make me think that it might be worth it. Added that you don't have access to single rider lines due to your kids' ages, I would lean towards staying with the Hard Rock.
