GOOD! When I first started visiting Orlando in 2001 there were freakin' mouse ears on the street signs near Universal. I'm very happy to be wrong about that.

Unless they're from Brazil, then it's all Disney.

When you're trying to help them understand that something they purchased at Disney has no meaning here you realize they think it's all Disney.

Since I went to the WWoHP I knew that I wanted to work at Universal. So excited that I get to do that now. I use my complimentary entry to the park a lot!

I worked at Disney (hence the name), but I had a Uni AP (and still do!) while I was there.

Huge companies have fallen plenty of times. Often times companies that we never thought would go down, but usually it takes one huge event for that to happen and set the ball rolling, and that hasn't happened yet with Disney. Or there has to be enough of a new product that comes along that just makes it obsolete. People don't usually say "We're going to Orlando" or "We're going to Universal Studios" most of the time they say they're going to Disneyworld. As someone who massively prefers Universal to Disney I wish that were different, but it's not. And it wouldn't hurt my feelings if that changed at all. Maybe one day, but it'll take a lot longer than the time it takes to build a few new attractions. You have to overcome a generation of people believing that Disney is not only the best option, but in essence the only option.

As a side note, I'm a moderator on an Alabama football board, and I find it interesting to see how the dichotomy changes from one subject to the other. Here, you have to worry about news being scooped and pulled to another site, and while that happens on the football side of things, the bigger issue is trolls coming in doing everything they can to disrupt and I just haven't seen that here. So good on y'all for that. Just an observation from someone who loves people watching.

I always just say Orlando.

So, is anyone tweeting photos from the job site? They were probably set back quite a bit by the storms yesterday.

It's going to take a lot more than Potter and Comcast for WDW to fall, and even then WDC will not fall. Disney could fall, but it's going to take a lot more than what we've been getting for it to happen. Magic Kingdom's capacity also makes it harder for it to fall.

I do too, but we're also a slightly deeper breed of fan than your typical vacationer.

Look at Disney Animation. In 10 years went from #1 film in cartoon history to having to buy their #1 competitor to stay relevant. Complacency and short cuts take a toll, especially with a dedicated rival coming at you.

I think Disney will continue to attract families with very young children, but after a while, those children will grow up and want to go to Universal instead. WDW can't be as big as it is now, if it caters exclusively to the under 10 set.

The Magic Kingdom caters to a younger crowd. The other 3 parks tend to skew to the older crowds, especially Epcot. It may not have the same amount of thrill as Universal, but there's plenty to do for people over the age of 12. :shrug:

Everyone on this thread realizes that MK's attendance is 3 TIMES that of IOA right? Universal will NEVER take over the top spot. Ever. And Uni doesn't care. They care how much people spend on MERCH. That's what they are focused on.

Maybe 2.5 times.

Yeap, but I honestly think IOA and or USF can squeeze into the top 5 within the next couple of years easily.
