Hey everyone I'm a long time reader and post very rarely usually when I have a question. Of course that's what brings me here today.
So I've been a loyal Disney passholder of about 6 years and I do love it more than anything but to be honest there's a lot happening down the road that's making me think twice about renewing in November. I was lucky enough to visit both parks this past January for a day and I had a wonderful time. I didn't get to see everything but what I did see really made me want more and I've been patiently waiting till the time was right. That time is approaching very quickly and I have a decision to make. Do I keep Disney or do I take a year off and try Universal? There is a chance I'll do both but let's assume I can do only one.
I've compared price and it's hard to ignore the insane amount of money Disney wants for just the Silver Pass while Universal's Preferred Pass seems to offer more for less. Of course if I renew Disney I'll be doing Gold. I guess I'm just loaded with questions. Years ago pre-potter I had a pass and remember a great Souvenir cup program with 99 cent refills. Is that still around? Also I really like the single rider lines. I know that Universal Meal Deal was replaced with a system more similar to Disney's and you get a Coke Freestyle mug. Can I reuse it or would I have to buy a new one every time? I'm also curious to hear about some of the other benefits and tips on doing Universal.
