actually one of the days was at universal, which was like trashy disney

notes:

-disney is a weird mix of families, morbidly obese people on rascals and thots who think they're at coachella and dress like it
-the "most magical place on earth" nonsense is amongst the most powerful of american mythologies, unless they meant black magic
-at universal we waited in line almost 2 hours for a 3d king kong ride that lasted about 2.25 minutes
-mickey mouse has infinite money but can't operate misters anywhere in the fucking park
-people who are disney experts are annoying AF
-i paid $11.50 at one point for a popcorn and a bottle of coke
-i paid $150 for an end of day surge pricing uber ride from universal to disney resort
-the social distancing aspect of it all was spotty at best, sometimes it was very respected, sometimes i had another family in my armpit
-the masks thing was HEAVILY enforced at disney but not at universal, i saw some lady wearing this for fuck's sake (https://www.amazon.com/MOTOTEKS -Restaurant-Protection-Protective-Environmental/dp/B086VR7N5J
-at times it feels like a bataan death march for children, i wasn't sure my five year old was going to survive the ordeal
-star wars: rise of the resistance truly was super fucking cool
-in fact all the star wars stuff was great
-there should be more benches and artificial shade, people were basically dying and it's march...i can't imagine the summer at 100% capacity (it's 35 currently and still literal hell on earth)
-the blue milk at star wars area was really tasty and my wife is all about trying to make some at home now for the summer
-i am so glad i will never in my life have to see another "social disney-ing" shirt, i fucking hate those people
-epcot kinda sucks
-it's a small world is basically just how i remember it as a kid

it's empty because most people aren't dumb enough to go there, given it is during a pandemic, insanely expensive, and again, kind of sucks ass.

universal is definitely better than disney. both are not worth it but if you like film or aren't a child, universal is significantly better.

good point, but if you saw what i saw then you'd know this probably wouldn't have mattered a whole lot

Yeah the King Kong ride is rather lame. Really when it comes down to it most of the rides at Universal are pretty much the same. It's just a different 3D movie playing around your tram.

the spiderman ride was kinda great, easily the standout
pteradon rider was 90m wait for 80s ride and it was the lamest thing we did by far i think

My wife and I went twice over the past few years and we liked Universal better, mainly for the Harry Potter parts though. Walking around Diagon Alley with your stupidly overpriced magic wand that can activate random cool shit if you got the special IR sensor one was fun as hell

next time we go to Disney Im getting a lightsaber

i never saw/read a single iteration and my kids aren't into harry potter at all so we didn't go down this road but i could see it being a return leg hit once i have regained willpower and lost memories

it's truly a nightmare, and people don't talk about this enough when discussing a trip to disney
everyone acts like it's all pros and no cons, but it's kinda the opposite almost

honestly i don't think i had anything i'd rave about, food-wise
we were go-go-going and cranking out rides as much as possible, that was really the focus
i had a good buffalo chicken sandwich at disney springs
i had some fantastic jerk chicken at bob marley's restaurant in front of universal studios area
and we had a really super tasty ice cream thing one evening
also the blue milk aforementioned was quite good

yeah my girls love the shit out of star wars
we watched all the movies starting in order they were made and have watched all the mandalorian together, they totally dig it
my 9.5 year old is super into space in general and wants to work ground control at nasa in some capacity
