Difference between IOA and Universal

[lisa and john]

Hi there,
I have never been to WDW or Universal before, so this may be a naive question... I am wondering what the difference is between IOA and Universal... What do adults tend to prefer? Is there a seperate admission for each of these?

Thanks so much...looking forward to my first trip in March!

2 parks with separate admission, but there are tickets that allow you to visit both parks.

USF is more like a classic film park, IOA is more thrilling.

with the exception of Jaws and a couple of shows, US attractions are indoor, movie based immersive attractions. IOA is a high-tech theme park. they're complete'y different parks. we love them both.

If you go to Universal Orlando's website, they give descriptions of all the attractions at the parks.
