Thanks for the responses everybody We cancelled our trip last summer and got a truck instead, so I haven't read these until now :lol: The above responses nailed it and my hubby LOL at the second one. Thanks for laugh. The "Disney magic" is a marketing ploy because I've felt more "magic"...

I don't have to explain why Disney "gets a pass" because it's not relevant on how Universal can improve their parks. The bottom line is that Universal does not have have attractions/shows that appeal to us, and the Mousetrap does. Who is more likely to get our vacation dollars?

I've noticed this in American society in general. Some time ago I remember when Gisele Bundchen dared use her freedom of speech to express opinions on breastfeeding :eek: People were up in arms because she expressed an opinion that they didn't agree with :rolleyes: I wonder how these people...

and releases it in the original theatrical version!

It's a toss-up, but I chose Tangled because of less annoying characters. The Cajun accent that Jim Cummings used for his character in Princess is really annoying, but I love the hand-drawn animation and John Goodman. I also did not like the fact that Disney was PC in the making of Princess by...

You might be onto something Skip. However, I am coming from the perspective of a casual theme park goer with a keen interest in Disney. I don't keep updated on Universal, nor do I have a deep desire to visit. Most people here probably do not share this same perspective. Thank you for your...

:ROFLOL: No, I think that Lucille Ball needs to be removed from the park. It takes up space and casual theme park goers like me are not interested in walking through an exhibit that features a celeb that been dead for twenty years. Universal, why not have an Elvis exhibit? Right there's...

I've never been to any Universal park, so I have a unique perspective. However, Universal can pique my interest if they did the following: ~ Lower ticket and parking prices, especially for those who live over 1,000 miles away. They have Florida discounts, so why not have discounts for those...

That would be a nice effect, but a bad idea. Trained owls are still wild animals and can fly where they want to and do what they want to. I think that would be a liability issue for Universal. What if an owl swooped down and try to grab a snack out of a guest's hand? Or worse attacked and...

Exactly, it's Basic Economics 101, which is why DH and I cancelled our Disney trip last summer. It was Disney's right to raise ticket prices just as it was our right as consumers to cancel our trip as a response. If more people would vote with their pocketbooks then both Uni and Disney would...

I don't pay attention to Uni prices as I've been brainwashed by Disney's talented marketing department and really focus my attention on the Mouse. Okay, just checked on Uni's ticket prices and attractions: http://www.universalorlando.com/Ticket-Store/PurchaseTickets.aspx?ParkTickets...

That's funny because I see WDW as the biggest tourist trap in the country. :lol: Though I enjoyed my Disney trip it can't remotely compare to a trip to Six Flags. Heck Disney can't even compare to family-run Silverwood in Idaho. I go to theme parks to have fun and be entertained for a good...

Hilarious siggy OP!

I completely agree. Sure kids love the cars, but you can find this attraction at different parks across the country. Also, I don't think Walt would like the Indy Speedway to be here today, WDW needs to Keep Moving Forward.

Please explain what the Disney "magic" is? No, I don't mean the cruise ship :lol:

WDW and Kennedy Space Center here we come! :sohappy:

My number 1 tip is to drive instead of fly but if you insist on flying you need to check the TSA website before you fly: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/index.shtm

I wouldn't put it anywhere near Aggieland :hurl:

I haven't been to WDW in 25 years, but my favorite ride as a kid was probably Big Thunder. That won't be my favorite ride when I make a return trip this summer as I don't like roller coasters anymore. It also won't be any water rides, I learned that lesson in Silverwood. My DH and I really...
