That's not possible for me. That's home. That's pretty much going to remain my favorite because of the nostalgia and history there. Personal history, too. IoA is a bizaro world Disney. It's a refreshing, new, and amazing compliment and alternative to WDW.

Wow....uuuuuummmmmmmmm...........please, please, PLEASE tell me this was NOT your first time to IOA and URO?!? If so, I could not imagine that an Orlando local(IIRC)had NEVER been to Universal Florida before?!? Seriously.........WOW!!!
Originally Posted By Bob Paris 1 "You know you won't be hated if you go to universal right, you can like both, it's not a gang war!!!" And there you go. In the same thread we have now both agreed with each other. *Nods and bows*

And EE did give Potter some money that Mickey feels is rightfully his. There will have to be some heartfelt groveling to get back in favor with The Masters of the Theme Park Universe.

Had no interest previous to this. And I'm not a local, unless you consider 230 miles to be nothing to someone who doesn't have a car.
