Try asking again but with more menace in your voice!
I just dunno where I've gone wrong. Sigh. Actually though we had said we were doing universal this year then changed mind and said Busch then dropped that too and not once did she moan so time for me to (as she tells me) "suck it up buttercup".

Both my boys lost interest in Disney as adolescents. They preferred the more thrilling atmosphere of Universal. the good time camme when we returned with my older son and his then 11 month old. I think he enjoyed Disney more than ever before and did things he would never have done as a child (joining in dancing, participating in shows, etc).

Now I am just waiting until I can take both grandchildren.

I think my 2 were a bit gutted that they had to choose but until they plant a money tree... I really do need a new kitchen.

DD has never been to US or IoA but has been to Disney several times. She loves big rides (so BG is always on our list) so I know she would really enjoy IoA but she is also a traditionalist so not doing Disney was never going to happen!

If I come in to any unexpected windfall between now and when we go then I will book to do Universal but, until that time, its only Disney (with SW/BG/Aquatica of course)

As we Only really go every 5 years we could not miss out Disney but I have missed going to Universal as not been since 2011. Not fussed about Sea World or Busch gardens

We've not done Disney for our last 3 trips and its been fine. But if you love Disney then you get control back for 2020

We have decided that there will be a 4 year break from Orlando for us as it all seemed way too familiar for us this year. So roll on 2022
