Is Disney all there is to Orlando?
Throughout its history, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, has been a fierce competitor of the non-Disney theme parks. When Universal Studios and nearby Busch Gardens Tampa have announced plans for a new attraction, Disney has rushed to complete a competing attraction to make them redundant. Most recently, Disney has adopted a pricing scheme that lowers admission prices to persons spending their entire Orlando stay at Disney theme parks -- you pay less per day the longer you stay -- discouraging visitors from going to Universal or to Sea World or to Wet 'n Wild. I think it's important to resist those savings and split your time between Disney and non-Disney. The extra admission cost is more than offset by the lower cost, in my opinion, of meals taken at non-Disney properties.
