Re: Someone please sell me on this idea...

My older kids outgrew Disney a few years back. Not that they don't still love the idea of Disney, but they were a little sick of the sweetness and characters and wanted something different. They love, love, LOVE Universal and would much prefer to go there now. And I have to admit, I really like to add a couple of Universal days to any trip to FL myself. I am a big fan of the Universal Parks now too.

Don't sell Universal short because you're a Disney fan. They are not mutually exclusive things. Go, take your kids, and give it a fair try. They have some excellent theming and state of the art rides there. Their City Walk is excellent with some outstanding restaurants there too. We have seen several celebrities while in Uni. They are not Disney's number one competitor without good reason.
