[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, Op, Universal has now become more expensive than Disney.   It wasn’t this way 20- 30 years ago.  They have priced themselves quite high after Harry Potter’s Wizarding World was built.  To ride the Hogwarts train, you need to buy a 2-park admission ticket which is much more expensive.  And who wouldn’t want to ride the train and take the whole experience when you aren’t going to US very frequently or maybe not again in the near future?  You want the full experience.  So, customers get conned into the higher price tickets.  Moreover, who wants to stand in long lines on their measly 3 days in the parks? So, again we rationalize to get Express passes.  It is, what it is.  And, you will have fun. But, this year was the first year that I found staying at Disney to be cheaper than Universal.  For decades Universal has been taking cues from Disney—slowing adding more parks, adding hotel/resort after hotel, connecting everything seamlessly with transportation, trying to convince the consumer to stay multiple days at their parks, etc.   In fact, both parks become very cheap, you start spending 7 days there—that’s where the savings pops in, the savings is not in a 3-4 day trip unfortunately.[/quote]

If your eyes are watering at paying for 3 days worth of express passes, it's a perk you can't afford. Wait in line like everyone else. [/quote]
