Okay so I have been to Disney world many times since I was a kid, and never once have I been to Universal, Sea World, etc.

I am a young adult going with the same age group. Do you think that it's worth it to take a day out of my normal Disney vacation?

Thanks all!

Absolutely. You're the perfect age for Universal. The attractions there are a blast. Despite the poor CM quality (from what I've seen), IOA is still my favorite park of all time.

Yes, Universal is great fun. I have some amazing memories from about 13 years old at Universal Studios (long before IOA came around). We're going in 3 weeks for my anniversary and getting the annual pass, 2 years for the price of one.

Both parks are great. Universal Studios is comparable to MGM. MGM does some things better, Universal does alot of other things better however. So if you like MGM, I think you'll like Universal although they do have a different feel.

IOA, I haven't been to yet, but from the pictures, videos, and friends comments that I've seen and heard it looks great and like something totally different than anything Disney has to offer. Some of the theming there is amazing. I saw a long video of the whole Jurassic Park area and was blown away.

You'll have a blast. It's not Disney, but it's still very good.

Universal is amazing. I actually like both the Universal parks better than the disney parks because the rides are just so thrilling.

Heck yeah, you sound like you're all at the age where you should be loving rollercoasters and thrill rides, it is DEFINITELY worth it!!

There's The Hulk, Spiderman, Mummy, Duelling Dragons, Dr. Doom, MIB, some awesome rides there. The rides are more extreme than Disney - ie, more upside downey rollercoasters atc and Jurassic Park scares the life out of me everytime, about 30ft higher than Splash Mountain and you'll feel every inch!!

Have you checked out their website www.universalorlando.com ?
You really don't want to miss it!

There's not really the same attention to detail and magic feeling that there is with Disney, but they have a much wider selection of thrills.

Yes!

I'm 26 and we go every time we go to Orlando. Can't say the same about Disney, not because I don't love it, but we occasionally take a long weekend to Orlando and that's perfect for Universal because it's not worth the money to rush through Disney in a weekend. Plus, if you plan on going more than once in a year, I recommend the annual pass. It's pretty cheap and u get lots of discounts. Plus, it's just a blast!
