NO to universal

[millie]

Well I am def in the Disney camp. I am not a fan of Universal at all. Don't really enjoy big rides and I love the theming and the little touches that Disney has. I don't think it is just for children at all.

Universal for me is just lots of rides in a space. IOA is much better themed but I am not really a fan of the rides there. Most years I just give them the by.

You really dont know what you are missing Mizzy, give it a try next time, I am certain you will each find something that you love.

I quite agree. I went to Universal rather reluctantly, and now I think it is one of the best. I am not so keen on IOA but that is because I am not a roller coaster fan.

I love the Disney theming too, but Universal has a very nice 'feel' to it and does very good theming too.

we think the best one for all sorts of rides and things to see, shows etc has to be Busch gardens, we have tried MK and Lauren was 7 then altho she probably thought she was going on 13 then, shes never been "young" for her age therefore wasnt so keen on magic kingdom!! we will look into animal kingdom and epcot for our next visit alongside Busch gardens

Hi I would say you have been missing out big time leaving these two parks out. This year me and my daughter are only doing these two parks as Im a bit fed up of disney for now. Maybe we might go to mgm next year as this is the only park I like of disney at the moment. Bet you come back and say you loved them both. Im 36 and dont mind standing shoulder to shoulder with spiderman one bit. You will all love it I bet

Come on!! What a delight to read these comments in support of IOA and Universal-We have a little disappointed with Disney the last couple of times I must admit. Whereas we have had a fantastic time at IOA/Universal every time we have been.
Having said that I don't think that there is anything on earth to beat the look on a kiddie's face when they first walk on to Main St and see the castle.
So-you pays your money and you makes your choice (as Popeye would say)(also available at IOA)

Love both the Universal parks and if honest while I love all that disney stuff (cos I am a big kid!!) would not dream of missing universal.

Would drop Epcot/Animal Kingdom before I dropped Universal

I love Universal and Islands of Adventure!! For me the Jaws ride makes my holiday!! Shrek 4D is fantastic and I love Earth Quake, Twister and a good ol' knees up watching the Blues Brothers & Beetlejuice!! Islands of Adventure must have some of the coolest retro style cartoon t-shirts ever and walking round the place is great fun in itself!! Honestly I really do rate both parks very highly.
Disney parks are great but tend to be lots busier and have always stressed me out a lot more then the universal parks but I'm 26 and don't have kids and I really do think that kids get a lot more out of the disney parks then they maybe would out of the universal parks.
Which ever park you lean towards though sure beats Alton towers!!!

When asked what parks my kids (15 & 11)wanted to return to this year, Universal was top of the list (other than discovery cove for my 11yr daughter). Disney does not have the the same attraction for them!

Mizzy I am the same as you, I love Citywalk but I am not overly bothered about the rest. My older boys used to love it though but they don't want to come anymore since they went to Uni[msnsad]

As I still have two little ones 5 and 10 it will be Disney for us in August[msnsmile2]

I think Disney and Universal are very different animals. We have been to Disney every year until 2006 and then we only went to Universal, which we had, until then visited sparingly over the years. This Easter we thought our Disney raised daughter would want to go back to the Disney Parks, but no, she was happy visiting just Universal this trip. We did Mardi Gras twice, which was fantastic, and a real fav now. And on October she wants to do the haslloween horror nights again. I am glad we have had a break from Disney (we did it ALOT for 13 years, but look forward to a return. [msnwink]
