If you do a search on this site you will see loads of mind boggling information. Read it all and then go with your gut feeling, but try not to fit too much in. Most of all plan ahead. I'm not joking.
Welcome to the DIBB, you will be hooked.!!! LOL

whatever you do you will never cram it all in. research it before you go, visit all the websites, get the family together and get everyones "must dos" on a list then plan your days. this is a good web site to use www.touringplans.com for first timers, you will come home exhausted, hooked and already planning to go back, the good thing is that its not going anywhere and most of what you dont get (unless being put out to grass) you can get the next time, but do PLAN PLAN PLAN
it will be worth it
have a great one

Welcome to the Dibb bluebell! :wave:

They are right, you will never do it all, don't even try. A little planning will go a long way to making sure you see the must-do attractions.

First, get yourself a nice cuppa and sit down for a while and read some of the trip reports on here. That will give you a good idea about what you can realistically fit into your holiday time.

Your kids are quite young so unless they are coaster junkies and tall enough to ride them all, personally I wouldn't try to do Busch this time. It is also a fair way to travel on your first trip.

If you want to do Seaworld and the 2 Universal parks then the 4 park flexticket is ideal, and with the 14 day Ultimate Disney tickets you have the most flexibility. You will be able to visit any park on any day for a whole 14 days.

You may find you are happy to spend half a day in a park and then have a rest or do some shopping, in which case you won't feel like you have wasted a day's admission. It is nice to be able to come and go as you please, even just going to catch the parade or fireworks in the evening.

Where are you staying? If you are onsite then the Extra Magic Hours will give you even more time to see everything.

Happy planning!

My DDs will be 7 when we go and basing our experience with them at other theme parks we only intend to do Disney and Seaworld. Current thoughts are out early mornng to a park back to hotel about mid-day and maybe return to a park in the evening.

Over 14 days it allows for return park visits.

By the way both a coaster freaks!!!
