I'm older than you and I think that Universal is currently way more appealing that WDW. Their resorts are nicer and their theming is getting better all the time.To me Universal is still an amusement park. The best amusement park there is but still an amusement park. If rides are your most important thing than Universal is tough to beat. But Disney World can be about the rides or not about the rides. Disney resorts can stand alone from all the attractions. At DW you can have a nice laid back vacation with the parks and attractions on the back burner. I don't feel that way about Universal. I also like the massive size of DW. Once you enter the front gates you feel disconnected from the real world which is nice. I just feel DW has a much broader appeal as a whole. Now if your between the ages of say 15 and 35 on average I can see Universal being the most desirable but I feel every age group can find something at DW. I,m 44 so at this point a more laid back Disney vacation is what appeals to me. It's just where each of us is personally coming from. Universal and DW and quite different places IMO and it is hard to compare them. Universal is the best amusement park we will probably ever see but it could never be DW for those who might think it is building up to be just that.
You are right that Universal isn't WDW though. Frankly I hope that it never is because the differences are nice.
