Iam sorry to hear this, but let me warn you, you have lots of gangsta type in the evening at City Walk. Not so much in the parks but they are there at City Walk.
Jimmy Thick- Former police officer, can spot them easily.

oh and for the record I wasn't being racist, just before anyone says anything, there are tons of white kids in that category, they come from rich areas especially where i live and think they're "down with da hood" or something. That is if the hood was a place gated off with houses the size of small office buildings.
Interesting fun fact for this informative and compelling Disney versus Universal debate. The Universal parks start with the word "Universal". Thus, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal's Gator Land are owned by Universal. Conversely, the Disney parks start with Disney, i.e. Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. No one knows who owns EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, or the Studios park next to UIoA, since they aren't properly branded. For years, rumor has insinuated that a duel of some kind may finally provide a solid owner for these parks that seemed to spring up apropos of nothing.

I grew up in Ocala. Still live there. My great grand parents lived/live in Lake Placid. (Great Grandmother passed last year at the age of 95. Great Grandad is still kicking at 98). When I was real young I knew we were halfway there when I saw the big Circus World Ferris Wheel
Ask the OP....
You don't. Only a few narrow minded..... people.... peddle this thought hoping to ignite a response.

Yes, but free fastpass isn't now nor has it ever been available to everyone. If you didn't get there early enough you were simply out of luck. Uni may charge but you have a fighting chance to get to buy your way in. With the old system it didn't matter how much money you had... when they were gone, they were gone. Under the FP+ it appears that if you have A LOT of money you will be on the "cool kids list", if not you're outta luck again.

That's a VERY good question, one I find myself asking far too often on these boards.

The bottom line of this thread; WDW has always been the gold standard of "Destination Theme Park Resort". So the real question isn't what does WDW do better than UOR, it is what is UOR doing better than WDW.
1. State of the Art Attractions.
2. Luxury Resorts.
3. Table Service Restaurants.
4. Transportation.
In other words, the basics of what makes a "Destination Theme Park Resort".
But WDW is better at condos, city busses, and fleecing it's guests.

They'll soon be able to add Value Resorts to that list.

No, they have Movies, Comic Books (Marvel), Ancient Mythology (Poseidon's Fury, Sindbad's), Sunday Paper Comic Strips, Children's Books (Seuss Landing, Curious George) TV Shows (Dudley Do-Right, Barney) and Literature (Harry Potter and Jurassic Park).
And Portofino Bay blows both The Grand Floridian and The Boardwalk Inn out of the water in terms of accommodations and service.
While Tower of Terror and Haunted Mansion are 2 of my favorite rides. Spider-man and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey are truly state of the art attractions. And only someone blinded by Pixie Dust would argue the point.
And the only park at WDW that has the drama of IOA's entrance is crossing under the train tracks into Main Street. The mess known as the graveyard of Epcot's entrance, or the thrill of The Crossroads with it's perverse view of The Sorcerer's Hat simply pale in comparison. As does the entrance into Universal Studios Florida.
