florida trip to ONLY Universal

For the OP, you might miss WDW; you may not!

For us, no Orlando vacation is complete without USO and WDW. I've done the no-USO thing and the no-WDW thing, and I've come home feeling a bit empty. Once, we woke up Saturday morning with a wild hair and just drove to Wet N Wild -- no WDW or USO ... talk about feeling lost when we got home

And we don't need to stay at WDW. If anything, I get sick of the Disney music 24/7 after a day or so. Our perfect vacation is either a week in our timeshare with parks (WDW & USO) during the days, Citywalk at night, or three to five nights staying onsite at USO and venturing to a WDW park one or two days.

I just bought the 7-Day, $85 tickets for my wife and kids for our upcoming trip to UO. I have maintained my PAP for the huge resort savings, as well as food and souvies. We are staying for five days and these tickets are a huge bargain!! My wife and I can relax by the pool or in the pubs while the kids ride Hulk and Spidey to their hearts' content. If we were to try and buy tickets to WDW for five days: . $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We were in the same situation last year. We love both Disney and Universal. Since I had taken 6 months off work with a new baby "money was funny" and we only did Universal. We had a great time. Like someone else posted, to get our Disney fix and be able to say we were there, we went to the Contemporary and ate @ Chef Mickeys and rode the monorail. We were considering doing the same thing this year (the cost of the disney tickets is a budget buster) but have decided to go to the World instead. Of course my kids still want do Universal also.

In short, you will have a wonderful time. Enjoy.

Back in "the day" (before we lived in FL), Universal didn't have all the hotels so we just stayed at Disney and came over on Mears. By the time all the hotels had sprung up, we'd gotten pretty disillusioned with WDW and had focused our attentions on Disney cruising. If we hadn't moved to FL, I could easily see us doing dedicated onsite trips to Universal vs. Disney. We have APs for both and now visit Universal probably four or five times as much as Disney, even tho' we live literally next door to WDW. We're still a part of the cult, but a lot of the pixie dust has given way to mummy dust.
