I'm trying to decide which Disney World Theme park or Universal Park to go to during an upcoming trip to Orlando. Magic Kingdom is a must but I'm having a hard time deciding on the others. Should I skip the rest and go to Universal or what?
Please help by telling me your favorite DW theme parks and why. TIA!!!
As a local 
I can give you some pointers if I know a bit more:
- Are you going alone or with others?
- What are the ages of everyone in the party?
- How many days are you going to be paying my state taxes - I mean visiting our fair city
- Where are you staying?
- Are you trying to maximise time at the parks, or do you expect any downtime?
- When are you planning to visit?
On the contrary, licorice and tootsie rolls are 2 of the 5 best candies in history.

I love Good and Plenty
Circus Peanuts are by far the worst. I love black licorice, but stopped eating it because I learned that it has some compound that causes heart attacks.
Google the info - it is scary **bleep**.

We went in January, only had a few days so we just did Magic Kindgom and Universal. We all enjoyed Universal soooo much more than Disney! If you go make sure you pay for the Universal version of the "Fast Pass" because the lines are insanely long. If you get the park to park passes, you can ride the Hogwarts express between the parks (ride both ways because each is a different scene).
Thanks for the info! Which Universal Park did you go to and like the best? I plan to go to 3 parks, one being Magic Kingdom so I need to narrow down the last 2.

- LOL I will be there for 5 days-well I'm only counting 4 since we will be living on the 5th day. We won't get to Orlando until around noon that first day.
- I am still working on that but it will more than likely be a resort close to DW. The resort hotels didn't fit what we needed at the right price
- A little bit of both. I want to get in at least 3 parks and downtime maybe on the 4th day. I prefer to do a park a day since it just seems easier and more organized.

Good grief...ONE busy night with the DW, and I've got twenty pages to catch up on...
Who gave Adkins a man card??? She's like 104 months pregnant... just sayin...
I'm not a big believer in super customizing of cars, but to each their own...my very stock 2007 Ford Focus starts, runs, and drives just fine... and it's paid for.
Still waiting for results of latest redaction... hope to know more shortly. (While they haven't said, "Yes" yet, they haven't said, "No" either...)
I'm home in between job A and job B and am tired enough that I might take a nap!
Y'all behave yourselves, or I'll take away Adkins man card...

- Trip is planned for mid Sept
Relative to summer, September is a good month to visit Walt Disney World. School is back in session and the crowds are smaller at all the parks. There's lots to do in September at Disney World:
- The new Toy Story Land will be open at Disney's Hollywood Studios
- EPCOT will be hosting the annual International Food and Wine Festival
- All the Halloween decorations will be up as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party will be in full-effect
- There’s also the relatively-new Pandora – World of Avatar with Avatar Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey to experience over at Animal Kingdom
- You can take advantage of the discounted Disney Dining Plan in September as well LINK
So there is an argument to be made that there is plenty to do at Disney.
Becuase you have older kids going, it's worth considering a day at one of the parks at Universal Studios
- Halloween Horror Nights will be up and running beginning September 14th LINK
- Of course there are the roller coasters and Harry Potter lands to enjoy
Bottom Line:
With the days you have, I would break up the trip as follows:
Day One: Travel Day - Save ticket costs and spend the evening with a nice dinner at the new Disney Springs area
Day Two: Magic Kingdom Day (All Day)
Day Three: Universal Studios Islands of Adventure (better rides for the older kids), you could opt for a park to park ticket but there's too much to do for a one day visit. Skip Universal Studios.
Day Four: Choose between Hollywood Studios (Toy Story Land), Animal Kingdom (World of Avatar) or EPCOT (International Food and Wine Festival) -- kids will probably enjoy Animal Kingdom best
Day Five: Depart leaving behind copious amounts of money to pay my taxes (Thank you!)
