I've been eyeing Universal out of the corner of my eye for a few years now as an alternative to Disney. Same story with me as with many others: I'm a diehard DW fanatic. Grew up going, have taken my family 4 times in the past 4 years and have loved all of it...but...it's just getting too expensive and stressful. It hurts my heart to say it, but it's true.
Anyway, seriously looking at Universal for some time in 2024. It would be me, my wife, and out 11-year old daughter. My daughter has just recently REALLY gotten into Harry Potter so it seems like the right time. Our extended family may also be planning a Disney trip in 2024, but that's a separate thing altogether...
I'll be honest, i have no idea where to start planning. I'm so used to the the Disney planning, this is very new. I'm not familiar with Universal's hotels or anything. I need to watch some vids. I've read that Universal can be much more relaxing overall than Disney, which would be most welcome. It seems like overall a budget-minded Universal trip can be had for a fair amount less than a similar Disney trip.
I understand and accept that Universal is not Disney. We are just looking to experience what it is and have a great time in the process.
Thank you for any advice and tips!
