As a stockholder, FL resident and Disney lover, I am not interested in what is up the road. Universal, nah. Not for me. And, I have stayed off property a couple of times in the past. It is not the same thing. There is a disconnect driving into WDW thru outside traffic (park hopping and then having to wind up where the car is). Taking off property transportation is even worse than WDW buses. Then when you leave, and get involved in outside traffic and the real world, it is just not enjoyable (to me).
Now, I do have to say that we have given up on
DCL after 13 cruises with them. We are way priced out. Not worth it. Especially since we live in the Fort Lauderdale area and can easily hop on other cruise ships. We can go on about 3 cruises for the price of 1 DCL cruise. But, somehow, people do cruise with DCL and I guess they can afford it. I really don't get it. But, as a stockholder I guess I am glad.
