IOA , USF, or SW?

[JAH]

We will have one free day on our next trip to DW and want to try one park outside Disney. We have two daughters ,a 2 and 5 year old.
Which park would be most suitable.
I noticed coupons in the Entertainment book for discounts on 2/3 day escape passes - do these passes expire or are they like unused days on disney park hoppers?

unused days do not expire. IOS is thrill rides - coasters, water flumes, etc. The Suess area "whoville" is good for kids,and i hear the cat in hat and one fish rides are good even for adults. Also has meet and great and dance show with well know characters - spidey, popey, etc.
USF is movie themed 'experiences'. Not as much based movement, more on visuals. Some rides still shake you, and MIB is pretty cool. I THINK nickelodeon is at USF, you might check that. My neices asked if I went to the Nickelodeon's 'slimeysludgesomethingorother' I dont know what it was , but they knew about it, so that might decide it for you. USf also has a kids park, and hanna barbera ride, so each has some stuff for all ages.

We went in November with our 3 kids 5, 4 and 1. IOA is the best I think. The Nickleodeon Studio at USF is for much older children. It depends on how timid your two are. Mine do not like the dark or anything too noisy so the Hanna Babara ride at USF was out too. Mine enjoyed at IOA: One fish, two fish, cat in the hat, the carousel all the grinch characters in whoville (especially the show they had on at the time). There's also a play area at IOA and a big boat they can play on. Sea World was really lovely too, but different. No rides for the little ones but a big play area and the shows and animals were lovely.

You are missing out, take the kids to IOA or Sea World or Both. Both are outstanding parks, Sea World always has been. It is unlike anything at disney, and IOA is the most outstanding park in Orlando right now! Enjoy!
