We are Disney veterans but have never been to Universal. We are considering a Universal trip (likely the second half of May). Can anyone offer opinions regarding whether crowd sizes at the various times of year (and I guess, in this case, in late May in particular) at Universal essentially...

Anyone been to all three? If so, could you state which you'd choose if you could attend only one during a trip to Orlando, and briefly explain why? Thank you.

We had similar experiences in late October. We were there with people who had not been to Disney since 1991. I believe it made a bad "near-first" impression.

The refurbs were announced this summer. I know Dinosaur was back in June and it was scheduled to re-open 10/17. I think anyone planning a trip within a few weeks of a refurb end date is taking a chance that it will not be open. Its not like Disney is keeping it closed on purpose to annoy people...

Visiting at the end of this month. As was the case many times before, paying full freight, including for deluxe resort accommodations. Today we receive notice that, on top of everything else, our Dinosaur fast passes are replaced. Thus, a given snapshot of our all-in Disney vacation most likely...

Some of Disney's announcements come long after commitments have been made and money spent -- in some cases (like today, for instance) less than two weeks before the trip. Thus, statements such as "Go somewhere else" do not account for the reality of the situation. If all of the information were...

I'll search my invoice for the "dozens of other attractions" discount.

We have fast passes for "Soarin'" next month. We haven't been to WDW in two years. Is the only version of Soarin' that now exists the recently-redone Soarin' - i.e., the "Soarin' Around the World"? Thanks!

Have any of you done any of the food or drink seminars offered during Food & Wine Fest? Was it worth it? Any particular recommendations? Thank you. PeterP

Please forgive my unfamiliarity with Universal generally and with Universal terminology in particular (we are Disney-only veterans). My question is whether, in late October, the lines in the two Universal parks are manageable even without the benefit of the "Fast Pass"-like benefit that people...

The projected refurbishment completion dates for a couple of attractions we like currently are near to, but prior to, our arrival. In the board's experience, can we count on the refurbs actually being completed by the projected completion date? Many thanks.

Thanks to all for the replies. PeterP

We've never been as late in the year as late October, but will be this year. I understand all the resort pools are heated(?) Assuming this is this case, I assume swimming that time of year is fine? Thanks much. PeterP

We booked a trip and subsequently received from Disney a unique offer code/pin. We've never had trouble using the codes/pins in the past, but we've never had the current circumstances, i.e., those in which we booked prior to receiving the offer. Now we're being told we cannot apply the offer...

Sanaa looks right up my alley, but we're traveling with a real "meat and potatoes" person or two. Would they find things on the menu to their liking? Thanks.

We're in New Orleans. In addition to having taken trips as kids and young adults, we visited the World four times from 2007 to 2009, but have not been since then. Are hoping to be there 8/31-9/7, should know soon.

In choosing one versus the other, are there any significant differences of which we should be aware? Thank you!

Three-time Beach Club visitors, we are consideringthe Swan or Dolphin (for reasons with which I will not bore you). We love the BC. Will we be disappointed with the Swan orDolphin? Thanks.
