My family is planning a quick BUDGET trip to Orlando next summer. This is a squeezed-into-the-summer, no-big-deal trip, and we're trying to do it cheaply. Hotel is taken care of, and we're close enough to drive. We can afford to spend on meals, etc., but we're trying to minimize ticket costs. Excluding transportation days, we expect to have three full days to play.
We have one park hopper day left-over from our last Disney trip, and we'll probably use it for Animal Kingdom in the morning and MGM in the afternoon. Of course, we'll go early and stay late to maximize our one park hopper ticket.
We also have a couple Park-Hopper-Plusses left on the hopper pass, and we'll probably do a half-day at a water park, then go to Disney Quest.
That leaves us with one full "play day", and I'm interested in going somewhere new. With two girls ages 8 and 11, would you choose Universal or Sea World? Why? Both girls are coaster hounds, and the little one is now over 48" tall, so I'm thinking she can ride pretty much anything (though she didn't like Tower of Terror). On the other hand, both also love animals.
Or is there something other than Seaworld or Universal you'd choose? Opinions are welcome!
