Which Attractions??

[Poohbear03]

Plan A
Stay at Port Orleans Riverside
Do Disney and Universal (Been to Disney)

Plan B
Stay at Royal Pacific or Sapphire Falls or offsite at Marriott Grande Vista
Do Universal, Discovery Cove, Busch Gardens, and SeaWorld (Only been to SeaWorld)

Which would you pick? We are two adults no children, not roller coaster ride people but enjoy other rides. This would be for my 50th b-day.

Royal Pacific and Port Orleans are the same price, Sapphire Falls is around 400 cheaper. When we have gone to Disney before that is all we did. We did not venture outside of that bubble.

Thank you.

would do Royal Pacific myself - love that place. - now if you are going to do offsite from US - would go with Marriott Grande Vista - it is closer to SW and DS - think it is also closer to I4 - through RP is pretty close too

Are you ok on simulators? Most of Universal is simulators. I love all the parks but don't know if there will be much for you to ride at Sea World or Busch Gardens, as both are very coaster heavy. There are, however, lots of other things to do (lots of shows, animals to see etc). Also keep in mind that Busch Gardens is about a 90 minute drive from Orlando.

My husband is fine on simulators, I will have to take some motion sickness medicine.

While we are Disney and Universals lovers, we find Sea World and especially Discovery Cove so relaxing. Sea World has a lot of shows and animal interactions and it doesn't get anymore relaxing than a day at Discovery Cove! No lines! All inclusive food and drinks (alcohol included!). And included with your Discovery Cove admission is a ticket to Sea World.
