Universal and Disney are both capitalizing. Don't kid yourself.
Disney is a world onto itself. It's a resort, where you live and breath nothing but Disney. I've been twice in the past year and both times I was overwhelmed by the service at their resorts, parks, even their parking toll booths. The parks are generally spotless considering the amount of people occupying them. The Disney has more activities and attractions going in one day then Universal has in a whole week.
It is apples and oranges. As many high tech rides they add, and resorts they build, UOR still doesn't have come close to what Disney offers their guests in terms of resort immersiveness. Now like I said, that's changing, and they are trying, but they aren't there yet. And anyone that disagrees is more of a universal fanboy then most of the "pixie" snorters you all complain about.
ALSO I would argue both parks have overpriced/mediocre food, but I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner.
