Size of Universal parks

[aubriee]

Can someone give me an idea of the size of Universal's two parks compared to WDW parks? I'm trying to figure out how much time I'd need to do both parks in May (especially if Harry Potter is open by that time). I would not be doing the biggest coasters.

I also have a transportation question: Someone said you can take Mears from WDW to Universal and back. What is the latest time a Mears bus would be leaving for WDW? and do they take you directly back to your resort or to DTD or somewhere else?

With the expected crowds, you would definitely need two full days to do both parks...even skipping the coasters.

I have to set up the schedule for Mears when you call to make arrangements. They will usually stop at other Disney resorts to drop off/pick up people.

It'd be interesting to see a list comparison of rides/attractions at the two Universal and four Disney parks. Does such a thing exist? (If I sit here and compile something, do you think my boss would take that as an excuse for being late to work? (

Knock yourself out.

I have an uoffical guide for Disney and it does talk about Universal in the back and has a few comparisons in it as well.
