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.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Bryce put it in a spot only his guy could get it only for David Moore to drop it. T_T Tremble and Horn both struggled yesterday and that killed me since they're two of my favourite players. Tommy knows he has to come down with this one. Folks were understandably saying that JT would've caught that had he not gotten hurt a few plays earlier. The more I look at this play, the more I think that Bryce made the right decision throwing it out the back of the endzone. He could have tried to laser it in to Thielen, but that safety is lurking awfully close inside. Insuring the field goal here after a 44sec drive to end the half was the right move.

      Except Bryce was the main reason we were in it

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
