Crowds on Memorial Day - Worse at Disney or Universal??

[Gagebre]

What do you guys think? I have reservations at both but my hearts keeps pulling me towards Disney! I know it will be really hot so I started thinking FOTL at Universal might be better. But I keep longing to go to Disney (just don't want to be miserable)!

Last year we spent the tues-saturday before memorial day at WDW and Sunday - Tuesday (including Memorial Day) at Universal. Everything was fine at WDW until we were at MK on Saturday (yuck - we will never do that again!!!). Stayed at RPR so we had FOTL at IOA on Sunday and Universal on Monday, it was great. We tended to wait 10-15 minutes w/ FOTL... regular lines were 60 -90 minutes at IOA (I don't remember what they were at US.)

This year, we will be at WDW the whole weekend - but will try to avoid MK Saturday & Sunday... hopefully that will help.

We are also going to be there during Memorial Day and since it will be only our second day there, wanted to go ahead and do a park instead of taking our one "off-day" then. We were thinking MK or MGM....anyone who has experience with this? Any advice would help us "memorial dayers" out


Also, what is FOTL? I was sitting here thinking "fruit of the loom?"

Last May we went to IOA the Sunday before Memorial Day and US on Memorial Day. Both times we were at the gate before opening and managed to see and do everything we wanted with very little wait. In fact, we walked onto some rides. Our days were finished by 1:00 or 2:00, so we left and headed back to the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge. And I will never forget the mass of humanity headed into the parks when we were leaving and the day was getting hotter. Get there early!

Front of the Line!!! Of course! That makes MUCH more sense than "fruit of the loom" (which was all I could make out of that acronym ) Thanks!
