The beauty of Florida is that there is so much to choose from. You don’t have to go to Universal, we have not been to Disney for 6 years as our kids are older. We stopped doing Disney partially because they don’t have many big rides. I still get the appeal 👍
Everyone’s different - not sure ‘relevant’ is the correct word, more ‘appealing’ or not dependent on what you want😄😄

I could have written this - I love the Harry Potter stuff, and even Jurassic Park, but folks rave about the rides at Universal yet there's only the Hulk isn't there? Simulators make me sick, including Hogwarts, although I do like the Gringott's one. I think the best thing at Universal is the raptor interaction.
I am not interested in Dr Suess, or comic book stuff (sorry Marvel or is it DC fans - I'm not remotely interested). So, generally, when there has been a new Harry Potter thing we've been, otherwise we stick with Disney (more interesting) or LEGOLAND (way cheaper). I bought a 3 day pass for the price of 2 but didn't go back for the 3rd day. Before Harry Potter we visited the Studios (mom & I) we wandered about for 20 mins, got bored and went back to IofA - it's picked up now and is much better than back then (after Jaws and the studio tour closed) but back then it was even more boring than now.

It's just personal taste, to us Universal is very relevant, none of us are fussed on the Disney parks but we love universal, not sure we will ever go back to the Disney parks, universal is a must for now, we are staying at Disney for the last 3 nights of our holiday but only to do Disney springs, Boardwalk in the evening & a few other things, we won't miss the parks at all only done Disney on 2 of our 4 holidays there & we weren't that blown away by it the second time around, with the exception of tower of terror (for me) we much prefer the rides & theming of the universal parks

Personally I prefer Universal. Saying that it’s from an on-site perspective. Universal seem to look after on site guests better and we just prefer the ambience there.
Harry Potter is a big attraction for us but the demise of Duelling Dragons a negative. Saying that, when I last checked Universal prices had shot up. |

We went to Florida last week and spent nearly 10 days at Universal (with 2 days at MK and Epcot in the middle). Admittedly we didn’t get to experience Epcot properly due to a massive thunderstorm for most of the day but my boys loved Universal and hated Disney. I thought Disney was too busy and crowded.
