Universal and Disney-MGM both provide good exposure to the cinematic arts. Universal programs are typically more informative and comprehensive. Disney-MGM is more on the level of infomercials for their movies and television shows. Disney-MGM and Universal are comparable on the price to enter their parks, so deciding which park to go to is a choice that is all based on individual preference. If you are a big fan of Jaws, King Kong, Woody Woodpecker, or The Blues Brothers then Universal has a great offering designed for you. Disney-MGM on the other hand offers you Drew Carey, The Muppets, and the Twilight Zone.
