The great thing about Christmas at Universal is that--unless they've changed it--it's all included in park admission except for the VIP stuff. I mean, I guess you don't get free snickerdoodles and the ability to purchase exclusive merch. But you get the parade, the Grinch, and their decorations, which blow the MK ones out of the water, especially this year. And even the VIP experience isn't that much money.
They used to have a Death Eaters projection show on Hogwarts in the summer and fall. I hope they bring that back next year.
Universal Orlando doesn't quite have the cohesion Disney World does, and it doesn't have the nostalgia factor, but the things they do better, they do SOOOO much better. More affordable hotels with better amenities, and while I don't have a basis for comparison for Galaxy's Edge, Wizarding World feels like a complete experience while Pandora feels like a cool ride with theming. My husband, who is not a theme park fan and utterly detested Disney World, loves UO.
