We returned two years later and it just isn't me at all. DD enjoys it being a teen but I find it more of an amusement park than a themed park like Disney. Rides are super close, touring is quicker, front of the line is group. But an amusement park feel. NOTHING like Disney.
But not everyone feels that way. My family sure doesn't. We truly cannot comprehend how people think its not themed. Heck, new fantasyland and the new entrance to anaheims DCA are nearly copies of IOA. And IOA did it first and IMO better.
Only way to know where you fall is to do it and do it with an open mind. Our first trip to orlando we gave wdw 10 days and universal 4. Even with that trip we regretted the shortness of the uni stay.
And on that trip no one did the big rides at all! DS was too nervous or short, DH is still of a body size that does not work with the restraints, and I don't like the fear of death while on vacation so I only go on coasters to keep DS company (I used to love big scary coasters but now I have things I want to live for and don't want tragedy to befall me).
I actually recorded the music outside IOA because I love it so much. Sounds a lot like the background of a imagination dragons song so I love that song too. Just love it there.
