This gets to the exact reason Disney will not able to be topped by Uni until they make massive entertainment improvements. This summer, there will be more nighttime shows than ever at WDW and two new stage shows.
Nighttime entertainment at WDW will include:
1. Celebrate the Magic/Wishes/MSEP - Magic Kingdom
2. Illuminations, Reflections of Earth - Epcot
3. Fantasmic!/Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular - DHS
4. Rivers of Light/TOL Projection show - DAK
New daytime entertainment will include:
1. Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire - Magic Kingdom
2. Star Wars - A Galaxy Far, Far Away - DHS
I love Uni, but people love live entertainment and fireworks shows. Universal has a collection of great rides, among the best in the world for themed rides. But they need to keep up/focus on entertainment much more. Doing things like "Straight Outta Food Truck", while temporary, is embarrassing.
Point being, unless there's a concert or it's HHN, I have no reason to be in those parks past 6 or 7, which means i'm spending less money. As much as we all crap on DHS, it still gets a lot of people through those gates because they've been savvy with entertainment/fireworks shows the past few years and still remain open until 9 or 10 usually.
