Help us decide

[bluedisneygill]

Hi everyone
We are travelling to Orlando from Uk for 2 weeks. The first week will be at Disney aboard the Dream but we cannot decide what to do the second week. We have a 3 year old son trying to decide if we should buy tickets for 2 parks Universal or 3 parks Seaworld, bush gardens and Aquatica. Which one will have the most for him to do / see. Hubby and I are not fussed about the adult rides. We want to do shopping so know we will not have time to do everything.

Any advice would be great.

check out ioa and the studios.

there are some great things for the littles at both parks.

i tend to feel that the studios has more for the littles .

Thanks have checked them out online and have been once before few years ago. We would either do both universal parks or arsenals, bush gardens and aquatica the way the ticket packages work out .

Tough choice... so you're doing the Disney cruise and then thinking something non-Disney on land?

At that age, honestly, he isn't going to remember anything so you guys should do what YOU want to do. Having said that, as far as things to do with the little little ones, you're not going to have as much at Universal. IMHO the park is just built for big kids - they have their fun playground sections - Curious George, Seussland, and Toontown. But the rest of the park is essentially going to be off limits unless you're fine with parent swaps for rides.

Seaworld has lots of animal interactions, but also lots of reliance on shows - so if he can't sit still for shows, you're going to be sitting in the playground area there too. (Albeit a fun pirate ship themed water area if I recall correctly).

If it were me, I'd stick with the Disney theme of your trip and go to Disneyworld - they will have the most stuff for the little ones, including their own two waterparks and lots of Character interactions for the photo books. And if that is an option, have you checked their land sea deals? Maybe your trip falls during their free dining promo?

My child is a teen now and this fall with only a little vacation time to use, we're just doing Universal. So I'm definitely not Disney biased... If I'm forgetting any fun kiddy sections in some of the parks I sort of downplayed here, someone correct me (or confirm they had the same experiences)!
