Personally I think you're better off at Universal, with the exception of Suess Landinds there won't be all that much for the 2.5 year old to do at IOA there are a lot of height restrictions at IOA. I have a 4 year old that is 42" and he just about made it to some of the rides but was excludued on a lot. There was much more for him to do at Universal.
Good luck!

Universal is much better for 8 & 2.5.

ET, Barney, Animal Planet, Woody's, Term3D, kong, earthquake, twister, Jaws, Nickalodian, IMHO.

My daughter really loves Rug Ratts and Scooby Doo. Would we have the best chance of
seeing them at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure? She is 4.5 and I think we will
only have time for one day.
Thanks for your help

You can also see Scooby in the Mystery Machine with Shaggy.

The Mystery Machine is the van the Scooby gang drove around in. It s not a ride, but it is a van that appears throughout the park for meet and greets. You can't ride in it.
