Help me feel better! DH wants US this year instead of WDW!

We've been to Disney three times over the last 15 years but the last trip we split between Disney and Universal and guess what? Our trip this year is all Universal except one day, when we will go to just the Magic Kingdom. If it was our decision we would not even go the one day - we let our grandson (11), who has never visited Orlando, decide where he wanted to spend his time. He visited both websites and choose Universal. We then decided to throw in the one day at the MK so he gets a sample of both parks.

I agree with everyone on this post - both parks are different, both are special in their own way. Disney is magical the first time you visit, but that magic feeling wore off pretty quickly for me, replaced by jostling crowds, long waits, and miles of walking. Universal's two parks are compact, and the FOTL cannot be beat. That alone makes Universal more appealing to me.

Our first Time going to Disney and Universal was in 2005 and we were insantly hooked on Universal and now our trips to orlando is univesal only and don't get me wrong we like Disney too but it seems to cater more to kids and that isn't very appealing to me

My best advice on how to get excited about Universal -- read one of Barb's Trip Reports! Seriously, they are full of photos of everything, she writes in a very engaging style, and you will quickly wish you were there! Look in the Universal TR Section.

I wish I knew how to post a link... the latest one is called "14 days & 600+ pix. The trip report you've been waiting a year to read.... " and there are links to previous ones at the end of her first post. Her name is "Bubba's Mom".
