Too Much for One Week?

[Brendal]

My family of four (two teenagers - 13, 18) will be going to Disney for the 2nd time during Christmas week - 1st visit 2000. The first time we spend the entire week at Disney. Is it too much to try to see the two Universal Parks, and Seaworld in addition to enjoying time at Disney? We'll be arriving Sun 12/25 and leaving Sun 1/1. I assume we'd need a day in each place (minimum)??? I just don't know if its worth it to try and see it all with only 7 days during the busiest time of year. The kids want to do MK, AK, Epcot and MGM too!!! (At least I figure this time they'll know what rides they want to see and we wont be in line for character autographs) What do you think?

Disney loyalists tend to not like this answer, but IMO you can see the highlights of both AK and MGM in one day, giving you 3 days at Disney, then 3 days to spend at Universal and Sea World and giving you a day to relax in between or maybe spend 1/2 a day at one of the parks. Everybody is different though, some people stay from opening until closing every day and are dead tired while others leave at mid-afternoon and can relax more.

Thanks so much - I know this a controversial question to be posting on the Disney boards!! - but when you're not sure you'll get back to Florida - with a daughter heading off to college next fall, I had to ask!!

When we used to go on vacation here before we moved here, we usually only had 6 days: 4 days for Disney and two days for Universal/IoA. We skipped Seaworld as we had one near us in Texas plus it wasn't a favorite of my teens. Wouldn't have done it any other way! We always had a great time. Don't be surprised if your teens like IoA and Universal better than WDW.
