Unsalted and shark-free!

Unsalted and shark-free!

Agreed, and w.r.t. Florida, gator-free.

I thought this might be interesting. Please add any additional insights in the comments to and let us know if your next WDW stay will be a DVC resort , other Disney resort, Off Property (gasp!) or Universal…

We haven't been to the parks in over 12 years, we are coming down the beginning of November and will be doing 2 Disney Parks and 3 Universal Parks, we are getting old, 62 ha ha and figure this might be our last big theme park vacation as there are so many other places we want to travel but are huge Star Wars and Harry Potters as well as looking forward to checking out the Dark Universe at Epic.

I voted Yes. We'll be going down Sept 2026 and staying 4 nights at Universal (really want to check out Dark Universe and we're Harry Potter fans), then we'll be checking into our home resort. Quite looking forward to it!

Had our first ever visit yesterday with Express passes (we are staying at Stella Nova for 4 nights).
Lovely park visually but things seem to be on the slide already…large Piranha plant still not operational in Nintendo world but worse still both pre shows at Monsters unleashed were down (and covered up) and 3 major animatronics not working (first Werewolf and 2 x Draculas)..shame as really took away from the ride experience! Statfall racers was down for about 5hrs from lunchtime and then returned sporadically with just 1 car running (TM said 1 car had been an issue all day but not sure why).
Ate lunch at Oak and Star tavern and food was lovely ..the closing lightt show was worth waiting for too, really cinematic music to match the lights, was very good.

I voted, yes! We just got back from a visit and did one day at Epic. The EP for our day would have been $230+tax/person. I wouldn’t/didn’t pay for EP at Epic. If there is bad weather or technical issues, the EP isn’t going to do much to help. The day we were there, Ministry was down for most of the day. There was a storm in the afternoon. Despite all of these issues, we managed to do everything (all of the rides and two shows) except the carousel. We arrived early and had a plan. Universal did a good job with Epic and we enjoyed most of our day there, but we won’t be back until it is part of an annual pass or multi park ticket.

We have a March 2026 Disney reservation and considering going to Universal. I've only been to Universal in California and that was 20 plus years ago. My daughter would like to go to Harry Potter and Epic Universe (she's never been to Universal) and I don't know how to do any of it. Lands, tickets, etc.
