So funny seeing all the agendas playing out on these types of threads.
WDW is the best at what they do. Like millions of families we love our time their and we are looking forward to new things built since our last visit and what's to come.
USO has done some amazing things the last 4-5 years. We took our first trip there in 2012 and now that the kids are getting older we will keep going back. The WWoHP is truly amazing from what we have seen so far and (again like millions of other families) we can't wait to go and experience DA and HE. I have never, in my life, experienced anything like walking through Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. Watching my kids pick out wands and sharing a butter beer with them was an amazing experience. I was giddy like a school girl when I saw the sorting hat. Just incredible.
Also, the Hulk coaster was great! Really on par with anything they have at any of the coaster parks we have visited including Cedar Point. Though the Spiderman ride was really good. The rest of IoA was just OK to pretty average.
At US we loved the Mummy ride and MIB. We were there opening weekend for Transformers. It was pretty cool, but after the hype kind of felt like it was basically Spiderman with a movie. Kind of underwhelmed with the studios but that will change BIG TIME with Diagon Alley opening up. CAN NOT WAIT!
CityWalk is pretty awesome. Very great atmosphere and it's very cool that it is connected to both parks and the resorts. In contrast the worst part of Downtown Disney is that it is so far from everything and it's just so hard to get ther. The resorts are very nice but don't have the same atmosphere as Disney Resorts IMO.
Overall, Disney was absolutely perfect for us when our kids were younger. As our kids have gotten older and USO has added the HP stuff we have started to add on days at USO and it has been great.
IMO WDW and USO are very different experiences that go together like peas and carrots or beer and pizza
Just don't get the "who's better" contests
