not sure what recent headline attractions you are talking about at Universal...Harry Potter is at least 4 years old and all they are adding is more stores and gift shops. Disney built and is still building a new fantasyland with 1 major ride (dwarfs), shows, major lunch and dinner destinations (beauty and beast), family rides (mermaid)..try getting your kids out of dumbos circus play tent...they just built 1 brand new vacation club resort and started a new one, there's Avatar land, and possibly star wars land at the studios...and like it or not they created those bracelets that let you go to the pool, or waterpark and have a waterproof wallet right on your wrist..no sticking your wallet in your shoe or walking a mile to the locker to get it to eat...not sure what you want exactly but you have to at least be happy with one of those additions
