2 weeks until annual Feb vacation trip to Orlando. I think we'll do at least 3 days at parks...
On our list for this year:
1. Discovery Cove - Pricey, but great warm water lazy river, cold/salt swimming with lots of fish & dolphin experience, kids loved the all-you can eat, parents all-you can drink!
2. Volcano Bay Water Park - Best water park, intense slides and fun water coaster run on magnets
3. Aquatica Water Park - little more crowded, lots of rides though, just get there early or pick cooler day
Others?
Legoland was kids favorite when they were younger, now ages 8,12,15 so I think its history. Worth the drive though for ages 5-10/11
Universal we did last year and were underwhelmed, too many movie experience rides - kids weren't up for the most intense roller coasters. Place designed to make you waste time walking around & line shortening scam is necessary but entire thing is way overpriced.
Disney - Was just never for us, must do when kids are 3-5yrs old I guess
Sea World - Ho hum unless you do their big roller coaster rides
Busch Gardens - haven't tried this
