Universal Studios' Orlando and Walt Disney World's theme parks thrive in a dense market over-populated by real-deal sources of fun and excitement and imitations offering cheap thrills. With both companies vying for every tourist dollar, competition can lead to some ugly results. According to the CNNMoney.com article, "Disney to Buy Marvel for $4 Billion," the Walt Disney Company announced on August 31, 2009, that it will purchase Marvel Entertainment. Though not immediately, this ingenuous move will force Universal Orlando, whose very successful Islands of Adventure theme park is largely based on Marvel characters, to revamp a top-grossing location.

As two heavy hitters with competitive ambitions, Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World should be at each other's throats in all respects. However, the two offer starkly different Halloween festivities catering to entirely different crowds. Both provide unique experiences, luring in tourists with quality presentation and performances. However, vacationers should know what to expect before buying tickets to either event.

Universal Orlando's "Halloween Horror Nights"

Parents beware - Universal's Halloween Horror Nights are not for children. No costumes are allowed, and there are vastly more tricks to be had than there are treats.
