We spent 23 nights in Orlando and about five days of that were spent at the Universal resort because IOA is THE BEST theme park in the US outside of Disney. For us, it was actually better than MGM. So, I cannot understand this spoiled, almost xenophobic attitude that if you even profess any kind of interest in Universal that it's like you are professing an interest in witchcraft in the middle ages.
