We only had three nights and 3 1/2 days so it worked perfectly to stay onsite at USF (HRH for us) and just go to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and CitiWalk. We were never stressed about time and the amenities of staying onsite made the trip easy. If I were planning a long trip, I would stay onsite at Disney and do the Disney parks and then move onsite to Universal and do the Universal parks. You can get some great hotel rate information on both message boards. Happy planning.
