So with many folks basically in open revolt against many of the recent Disney price hikes and changes many of the Disney Die hards seem to be talking about Universal only vacations.
Many don think Universal will be as good - I think they will be surprised - but I am concerned it will continue the trend of Universal being very busy and reduced availability. Already they dont seem to be able to handle the Dining needs of folks for a variety of reasons.
Personally I stopped staying at Disney Hotels in 2016. The last time I went to Disney it was 2017 and I stayed at Universal Hotels and got the Mears Shuttle to Disney.
I won't go to deep into it, but basically I felt Disney was ripping us off way back then and often compared it to the frog in the pot analogy for those that just could not see it. Took a fair amount of gruff from folks in the forums and basically walked away to leave "more for them."
Will be very interested in how Universal handles this - hopefully they dont too greedy and start hiking prices.
Disney has given them quite an opportunity - its too bad Epic was delayed so long.
Personally I am OK with a "Pay to Play" system at Disney - Universal sort of has it with Express pass - but the rumored $20 per person per ride seems out of hand to me - wouldn't a VIP tour be cheaper in the end? Depending on the details of it it may actually get me back to Disney for a day or two (that's all I really can take)
So how do people feel this will change Universal or are people all talk and they will just pay Mickey Mou$e like they always have?
