My parents are planning a last minute vacation in two weeks to Orlando. We will only be there from Nov. 22 to Nov. 26 and we'll either go to USO or WDW its up to me and my brother to decide. Any suggestions?

USO is cheaper. WDW is bigger.
Umm...depends what you are looking for.... Want thrill rides and some bigger coasters go with USO but if you want an all around visit, go with WDW. I think WDW is open later too, MK closes at 7 and 12, depending on the day; EPCOT closes at 9 and 9:30 depending on the day, DHS closes at 8; DAK closes at 5 and 8; depending on the days and USO closes at 6 and 7 depending the day. At this time of the year, there should be light crowds anywhere you go. If you want to know what will be closed at the parks..... Islands of Adventure: Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls is currently closed for refurbishment Universal Studios: Earthquake is currently closed for refurbishment Magic Kingdom: Mickey's Country House: Closed for Refurbishment EPCOT: Spaceship Earth: Closed for Refurbishment Nothing else at the other parks, Backlot Tour will have just reopened when you get there. If you want more time in the parks, WDW is open way longer and crowds should not be that heavy. The 15th and 16th, the MK has Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party which is why it closes at 7, it costs ~$45 extra, but some of the perks for it are great. Anyways, that is the best info I can give you, unless you ask something in more detail. Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer
Marathon down, Goofy to go.
I would persoally suggest USO. The themeing there is phoenomenal. Parts of it make you feel like you're somewhere else. The rides are great, especially Termanator. If you plan on going to Islands of Adventure also, then make sure to ride Dueling Dragons, Hulk, Spiderman, and Dr. Doom's Fear Fall. I've been to WDW also, and I am more of a thrill person, so I'd suggest USO.
WDW is better. Go there.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.
We decided to go to USO and IOA because they have thrills for my brother and I and they have shows for my parents. Thanks for the help. Does anyone know when Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls is going to open up again?
I already stated the status of Dudley Do Right, it's closed till December 3rd.

^ See post above you.
I definetely prefer WDW. USO definetly has some great points. Spider-Man is my favorite ride of any type, and Dueling Dragons: Ice is my favorite coaster, but WDW is a much better experiance. It's completly emmersive, and definetely worth the money. It's bigger with more to do and to see, and don't think that there's just rides, the shows, parades, fireworks, restaurants, shops, and general theming are all attractions in and of themselves. Captain, don't shake the passengers up too much this time!
Just giving them their money's worth!

If you've never been to either of them, WDW is something to experience. I prefer WDW over Universal. IOA is a great park, but Disney has something that just keeps me coming back.

USF has alot of construction and walls going up right now, and not just for rides. I would say go to USF anyways, but that is probably because I just worked a 12 hour shift at magic kingdom and am not happy. lol
Personally I'd pick SeaWorld. 
I think i'm required to say WDW so go there
Where you work batcave? Ya should stop by @ Typhoon Lagoon some time  Well after it reopens..http://themeparkcritic.com/scripts/profile/ViewProfile.asp?ViewID=2909

You made a good choice with going to Universal. The original park will surprise you in how good it is in comparison to IoA too, you'll have a great time....here's my must rides:
REVENGE OF THE MUMMY, Terminator 2 3D (wayyyyy better than Shrek), Universal Horror Make Up Show, Fear Factor Live (if this is open, definitely give it your time, it's an AWESOME show), ET (it's classic)...and if you like shooter games like Buzz Lightyear, hit up Men in Black! For IOA, make sure to check out ALL of the water rides, cause they are all phenominal, as well as Poseidon's Fury since it's the coolest, most overlooked attraction there!!!!!! Overall, you definitely made the better choice, if you're in that early high school-college stage of your life, Disney just doesn't do it in terms of vacations anymore. Oh, and citywalk: i don't know your age, but check out Bob Marley's nightclub if you can (get there early) and definitely take a seat in the Jimmy Buffet Margeritaville chairs...HEAVENLY! So yeah, need advice, drop me a PM...Universal is my home away from home!!!!! RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
Fangs Up Cobra Style!!! Chitown's finest resident here!!!!!
As Tony said, good choice!!!
You know where I work. I am actually using my comp tickets there when it opens.
I know the TL there and it will be down while you are there.
Thanks for all the advice.^^^ Im only 15. I'll try to write a TR when I get back.
I just found out my parents bought 5 park passes so i'll be going to sea world and bush gardens too.
Sea World is amazing, the theming there and the dolphin show is superb. There aren't many rides and Wild Artic is closed till November 22 to transform it into the Christmas version, it is their motion ride.

Marathon down, Goofy to go.
Make sure to ride Kraken!!! It remains the only floorless I've ever rode.
Sea World is the best park in Florida, period.
We'll be leaving on wed. and our schedule will be:
Thu: IOA Fri: USO Sat: Busch Gardens Sun: Sea World I can't wait!
Im going to Sea World Sunday, well that is if I finish my paper.
enjoy SheiKra! And Don't miss Montu or Kumba!

Thank you all for your advice its been helpful. I think ill probably enjoy kumba the most of all the coasters there. Ill be taking my camera with so hopefully I can write a TR when I get back. Also does anybody know if any of the parks close rides down in the rain because weather.com sais it will be raining on and off all the time we're there.
I'll probably get to be able to get back down to WDW this spring so I can ride my elevator again... See Username.
