We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Disney and Universal Studios in Orlando. We got on the road last Friday from New Orleans and returned Saturday evening. Wow! Between driving roughly 10 hours each way and then going close to nonstop at the parks, we truly need a vacation to recover.
Our son, who is now 7, and our daughter, 10, we’re both troopers as was my wife, as I think I may have over planned this trip. More about that in a different post.
For the first time we decided to brave both Universal and Disney with the kids. We always worried that Universal was for older kids. Both children had a great time there.
They are both great parks in their own ways, but they could also learn from each other. The food and the trip planning app for Disney are much better, but the express pass that comes with a Universal Hotel stay is far better than Disney’s difficult and less generous fast pass. I’ll spend more time discussing our experiences and comparing the two parks in future posts.
Until then…
For now, we will try to recover from this whirlwind vacation.
