Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler I LOVE Disneyworld

Underground Disney is an amazing engineering feat in itself, I've been fortunate enough to have been there a couple of times and there is as much going on under ground as there is above ... the manner in which they handle money is quite amazing.

We are heading back to Orlando again this year (we go at least once every other year)... We love Disneyworld, but this year we are, gasp, skipping it! We were there 2 years ago and did some Disney and some Universal. I think that the kids were ready for something different after going to Disney parks so many times.

They are now 11 and 16 and both want just Universal plus a Disney water park. While Disney does great with hiding some of the lines, the Magic Kingdom isn't done as well as others, and none of them seem to compare to the general theming of Universal. We still absolutely love Disney, but with out kids getting older, wanted to go somewhere else and we were just amazed at the difference (in general) between the lines at the Disney Parks vs the experiences at Universal.

Just my opinion, and like I said (twice already) we really like Disney, so it isn't a bash of them at all, and Universal does have some older attractions that are still generic queue lines. Universal just had to step it up in some newer areas since Disney is still considered the king down there. I'd guess that they both do some flip-flopping back in forth trying to out-do each other.

Yeah, it's called Fort Wilderness. I think it's considered a separate location though.

I plan to take the family next Spring to Disneyworld. We went to Disneyland when my kids were 6.5 and 3 and absolutely loved it! They are a little older now and it will be easier to navigate a larger park.

Last time I went, I regret not getting a Capn' Jack Sparrow hat. Would one of you guys mind sending me one?
