Universal / Disney Ratio

[crackadawn]

I’m looking at booking a multi centred holiday, 2 children aged 13 & 15. We have 12 days, I’m thinking 8 nights in Disney with it being so large and 4 nights Universal… we’ve never done universal so wanting to check it can be completed in 4 days?

We did 7 nights Disney and 5 universal (I think!) but that was before epic universe opened and the time at Universal did include a day at the space station. I felt like we only scratched the surface at Disney, whereas I think it was long enough at universal. Our kids were slightly younger than yours though.

Ye we’ve done 14 nights at Disney before and felt I could of done another 2 weeks there

How flush are you? If you can afford a Universal Express Path then you may only need 2/3 days at UO - 1 at US and IoA combined, 1 at Epic, and 1 optional at VB.

If your DC are more excitement orientated then I'd split 50/50. If they are more Disney orientated then probably opt for 8/4 in favour of WDW. Most of WDW is pretty tame with some standout exceptions.

For apps, I recommend touringplans.com.

Enjoy!

We have just come back from Orlando and done 4 nights universal and 8 Disney. Ours are younger though (5 and 1) utilise the baby swap and single rider if appropriate. And if staying on property take advantage of the extra hours offered.
‘if doing epic universe you will struggle to fit it all in unless you buy express passes. Hope that helps!
