I have to agree with minijeanie about the planning. The first few years of FP and dining, I enjoyed making the plans, but I am starting to find it a bit of a pain to be honest-Now I'm feeling the attitude of where do I know where I am going to want to eat in 6 months, or what park or rides I want to do? I know though, if you don't make plans, it will be difficult to get into a sit down restaurant for dinner, or be able to ride some of the more popular rides. I personally enjoy Disney more than Universal, I love Disney resorts (we rent points), and just the whole atmosphere, but Universal is much easier to plan I feel-ok now my rant is over as well, lol!
