(If we go to Universal, I'll definitely do more research, but I will also definitely be filling my waist-pack with snack bars, just in case.) -- Kitty (TDC Bashful) remove "whiskers" to e-mail

This is the first review of IoA I've ever seen where I'm sure I would have reacted the same way you did, to everything. Usually IoA reports are from people who seem to be not, uh, critical? Are we critical? I guess so. And maybe that's not a bad thing. But you've cemented my decision to not bother with Universal until we are either Florida residents, or we've been to Disney so much in a year we're bored and ready for something different. And then I'm not going unless it's off off season. And then I still won't expect much. Sorry, Universal. You are the sad red-headed step-child of Orlando theme parks. Here's hoping the new Legoland/Cypress Gardens will be the pretty little sister! :-) ~Amanda
