I'd like to compare the parks in a slightly different way. I've been to both resorts on multiple occasions, but only once did I stay at WDW and UO in the same week. That was the time I REALLY got to notice the differences. I even got the "honor" of being selected for a survey on my last day at UO, where they basically spent 45 minutes asking me "How do we compare to Disney?" or "How can we be more like Disney?" So, they care too...
The bottom line is that Disney gets the details correct. UO ignores the details. When I've been at WDW, no matter the time of year, I've never had to worry about a bathroom being clean...there has always seemed to be a CM in there keeping an eye on things. At UO, it was the complete opposite...dirty bathrooms were the norm, rather than the exception. People at UO will smoke anywhere in the park, and UO employees will walk right past them and not say a word. I don't know how WDW does it, but I've never seen anyone smoking outside the designated smoking areas. I went to one of UO's largest merchandise shops, and there was a huge line at the single register they had open. Plenty of employees walking around talking to each other, while 15 guests were trying to buy things unsuccessfully...at least 3 other cash register stations were available to be opened, but nobody seemed interested in doing anything other than talking. These are the types of things that WDW does much better.
As far as directly answering your question:
Personally, I think MiB is the best dark shooter I've ever done. Think Buzz Lightyear on steroids. Cat in the Hat is parallel to Pooh. Sinbad show similar to Indy stunt show. Frankly, JT3000 does an excellent job with these comparisons, and I'd have to agree with everything said in that response.
In general, I would also note that Universal Studios very much parallels DHS in that it is very "show driven". Many things to watch, with more limited options for rides. Neither Universal park seems very good for the young kids, as my 6 year old spent most of his time either bored since he was too short for some of the rides, or scared since he didn't like the horror show, etc. My wife and I spent 3 days at the Universal resort alone and were able to complete both parks in about a day and a half (with Express pass since we were resort hotel guests) and we only missed 2 shows. When we took the kids, due to ride constraints and their lack of desire to see certain shows, we still only needed about 2 days.
Overall, I like UO area, but I would strongly suggest you go in with the mindset that it's not WDW. Don't try to compare them in real time, as I did, or you'll be disappointed if you're a huge Disney fan like I am. But, it is a really fun time for people (approx) 10 years and older...and if you have Express Pass!
