Disney World vs Universal Theme Park vs...

I'll be spending about a week in Orlando in August for a wedding and looking into visits to Disney and Universal.

 

 

It'll be an adults trip, no kids. Looking for any advice from folks that have been recently or are in the know. I am leaning towards a two day pass to each park, or two days at Disney and one at Universal.

 

 

Any advice welcomed, or any other things I should check out in Orlando.

Orlando can be brutally hot/humid in August....might want to consider water parks if you are into them or at least the parks that have some water rides mixed in.  

 

The Magic Kingdom is more kids based. I would say unless you are a big Disney fan or have never been there, I would look more towards the Universal side of things since it is all adults.

Agree about the hot thing, but disagree about the US.

 

I would much prefer Disney, but either way, make sure you are getting the option to go to the water parks.

Have done both recently.

 

 

Both the wife and I prefer Universal.

 

Pay the extra money to get to the front of every line. Its completely worth it. One ride was an hour wait in the full sun. We got on in less than 5 minutes. Was worth the money within 10 minutes of entering.

Islands of Adventure.

 

Period. The End. You're Welcome.

 

And be sure to eat at Mythos while you're there.  It is routinely voted the best theme park restaurant in the world. I mean, the competition is a bunch of burger joints and the chicken nugget platter at "Pelican Paul's" but still, the food is outstanding, and beats the hell out of any other amusement park fare.  It's also amazingly beautiful inside.

Yeah I was thinking that'll be the way to go.  Will definitely do that now.

I can't speak for Universal as I haven't been there, but my wife and I had a blast when we took our kids to Disney World.  Rockin Rollercoaster at Hollywood studios, Test Track at Epcot and Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom were all awesome.

 

However, I will not go back in the middle of August.  It was blistering...definitely hit a water park.  Blizzard Beach was a lot of fun.

This is what I did when I went last year.  I think it was like an extra $75 for the pass, but I'll never go without a pass again.  The amount of rides that you get to ride throughout the day is worth it.  I think the longest we waited was 20 minutes for the new Transformer ride.  To put it in perspective, the wait for the general public was 140 minutes.

Yep, there is no way in hell we would do it without those passes now.

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
