[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went Saturday-Wednesday, Memorial Day weekend. (Thank you, private school calendar!) My kids are 14 and 11. It was great and actually not unbearably crowded - have also been to Disney during peak times (Thanksgiving week and President's Day weekend) and it was no where near as bad as that.

Universal is way better for older kids IMO. It's definitely less of a 'bubble' that WDW, but the rides are a lot more thrilling and the theming -- at least in parts of it -- is better done. It's a lot more innovative - I think WDW is really resting on the nostalgia/tradition factor, but some of it is soo outdated (cough cough Tomorrowland!)

Also, there are a lot of amazing non-screen based rides at Universal. Veloci Coaster, Stardust Racers, Bowser's Challenge, Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges, Hulk Coaster, Mine Cart Madness, Hagrid's... probably some I'm missing. More than Disney, IMO. [/quote]

Glad to hear it went well!  We're going in August, so I know our weather will be worse, than yours.  I do love Disney, so I hope seeing Universal for the first time will be something I enjoy just as much.  We're not huge Harry Potter fans (I'm not against it, but I'm not a superfan), but we my son adores Nintendo and we both are looking forward to the trip.  We're thinking we'll try to see as much as we can once the sun is going down and temps are a little cooler. .

We have reservations at Stella Nova Hotel so we really do hope for a bit of a bubble feel, but we're only planning on two days at the parks.  I tend to get into checking off the lists of rides at Orlando amusement parks.[/quote]
