well, this thread isn't too bad so far...I don't see a lot of "zomg, disney is always beeetteerer, uni ahs noathig on disney becauz they got 2 parkz and disney has 4 parkz"
This is what I enjoy about Universal more:
1.) Layout of the complex, everything is within walking distance, parks, hotels, and citywalk...all right there, kinda like Disneyland actually (but with TWO good parks
)
2.) As part of this, no buses needed to get where you're going, nice, relaxing ferry boat rides...wonderful hotels that are less expensive than Disney's for the amenities
3.) Food. Universal in most cases has Disney beat overall, unless you get into the really pricey fare. Plus Universal has Mythos, enough said.
4.) Relaxing atmosphere extends to other aspects, there's no need for making reservations 6 months in advance for restaurants, you get front of the line access as a resort guest
5.) Since the demographics are a bit different, there aren't strollers everywhere :zipit:
6.) Excellent technology in their attractions and more edgy themes, things they do that Disney won't (or won't for long...like Alien Encounter being replaced by Stitch...that wouldn't have happened if it was at Universal)
7.) Lower prices for Florida Residents, especially AP passes and more perks and discounts for AP holders as well.
8.) Besides HHN, their other special events are not separate admission, close the park and make everyone leave early so they can reopen and charge $50 again, like at Disney. HHN basically transforms the park(s) into a different experience altogether, so its not like they just hand out candy and let you dress up, and charge you $50 for the same stuff you could do in the daytime.
