As a frequent theme-park guest, I've been fortunate enough to try character-dining experiences at both Disney World and Universal in Orlando, Florida.
Although I enjoy both, I find Disney's to be better suited for adults and Universal's superior for overall experience.
For the sake of this piece, I compared popular seasonal character-dining experiences I've had at Minnie's Halloween Dine in Disney World and The Grinch & Friends in Universal.

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels, clients often ask me if I prefer Disney cruises or Disney World vacations.
While The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its Centennial all year long, Orlando’s Walt Disney World Resort commemorated the actual date of its 100-year anniversary (October 16) with the opening of an enchanting new experience: “Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana” at EPCOT.
Just in time for the holiday season, Disney Springs resort area hotels at Walt Disney World are offering some serious deals on accommodations through the end of 2023.
I live 10 minutes away from Disney World and visit the parks frequently, but I'm always learning about new offerings. I recently discovered Savor the Savanna — a two-hour, private safari tour at Animal Kingdom.
My first visit to Walt Disney World was when I was 4. I'm 24 now and very fortunate to have had the opportunity to take an annual weeklong vacation with my family to Disney World every year since 2004.
After a visit fourteen years ago to Pico, one of nine Portuguese Azorean islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, I wrote a blog post about the vineyards. Five years earlier these had been given UNESCO World Heritage designation. This is because the vineyards are unique: most are non-trellised within small walled enclosures; the rock walls protect vines from Atlantic winds and also reradiate warmth absorbed during the day. Historically, the effort to build these walls had been gargantuan.
I've been exploring theme parks across the country (and the world) for over three decades, and there are so many options beyond Disney and Universal.
I've been visiting Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando with my kids for a decade, so I know how quickly little ones can become exhausted on theme-park days.
Starting next year, visitors to Walt Disney World will be able to «hop» from park to park with no time restrictions.
Like so many other things, visiting Walt Disney World was made more complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to purchasing a ticket, guests of the Central Florida resort were required to make a reservation for the theme park they wished to visit each day. If you had a ticket with Park Hopper privileges, you could only visit a second park after 2 p.m.
Walt Disney World Resort officials announced new details of the 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays presented by AdventHealth, including new traditions, entertainment, food and drinks.
