re: Disneyworld vs Universal

Neither one are my thing, there’s just so many other places I’d rather visit for that sort of time and financial commitment. Unfortunately, it is my wife’s thing, so we we took our 4 year old to both last summer.

I preferred universal simply because we stayed on premise and their “fast pass” system was so much better (unlimited line skips at any time of the day, so we got to do so many more rides at our own pace and spent so, so much less time in lines).

After doing them back to back, though, it was obvious how much more of a polished experience all around Disney was. We ate lunch at the Marvel burger place, and although the Disney food options weren’t 5 star, it made the Marvel place just look terrible in comparison. This was pretty much true across the board when comparing the two in varying aspects.

It was a “fun” trip, mostly because of watching the 4 year old doing things like meeting his hero (Spider-Man) and being absolutely star struck. But I hope we don’t go back for a long, long time.
