I disagree that Disney offers a better experience now, and I am someone who spent years going to Disney World and wouldn't step foot in a Universal park. Currently, Disney is overpriced, understaffed, and way to complicated. It is stressful to vacation there. You pretty much have to spend extra money on Genie+ or Lightning Lane to be able to ride. You have to make a theme park reservation to even get into a park. It is beyond ridiculous.

Universal has better hotels, better transportation, and it is a much simpler vacation. I don't have to get up at 7am to try to make ride reservations. I don't have to make dining reservations six months in advance. I don't have to make park reservations. Plus, Hagrid's and Velocicoaster blow Disney coasters out of the water.

Interesting that Disney continues to kick Universal’s arse financially then. From a numbers stand point Universal isn’t even close to its big brother. Screen rides make me I’ll almost instantly so Universal has never appealed to me.

I hope they don't mess with Fast Pass. That's a worry of mine. It's so nice at Universal.

Im there with you.


Disney has lost IT. They ran out of pixie dust many years ago now. Everything that made the guest stay just feel different, at disney, has been taken away or nickle and dimed to death.

That ended

Disney would be better served putting a capacity restriction at all parks to make the experience more enjoyable.

For pure ride experience, Universal is best

Genie+


As a person who took their family to Disney at least once a year from 2007 until 2022, Genie+ is why I will never set foot in a Disney park as long as it is in use.

We went to Universal in 2023 and being able to use the Unlimited Express Pass was a game changer.
