Which option would you go for?

I'm starting to plan for next August now that DS has had his leave approved at work.

I originally thought that we would have a week in Orlando doing Disney and then a week on the coast but I think both kids were really hoping to do Universal too.

So my thoughts at the moment are:

Option 1: 11 nights in a condo somewhere to do Disney with 3 nights at Universal at one of the hotels which offer the FOTL passes.

Option 2: 7 nights condo doing Disney, 2 or 3 nights at Universal, then 4 or 5 nights on the coast.

Option 3: 7 nights Disney and 7 nights on the coast.

I know option 3 would save on park tickets as we wouldn't need Universal but we'd probably go to Busch Gardens during the second week so DS could get his coaster fix!

Now I know it's purely our decision and the costings do vary but just wondering what you dibbers think.

Any thoughts or comments much appreciated.

Thanks

If it was me i would go for option 2. 7 nights for me would be enough for Disney and we prefer Universal anyway and to end with a nice relaxing stay at the coast.

Thanks I think this is my preferred option too but typically it's the most expensive and I'm not sure that I really want three different lots of accommodation. Decisions, decisions!

We did 3 different last year. Villa, then Disney for 2 night then AMI. We used packing cubes and were really handy to move around.

I would go for option 2 but would juggle with the time line so we had 7 days Disney, 4 nights Universal & 3 nights at the coast.

I'd do option 1. But then I have no interest in 'seaside' holidays. One day at the beach is more than enough for me.

out of your options I would pick 2 (and book anna maria as the beach part) but if it were me I would do 5 days Disney , 2 nights universal (front of line hotel so you get 3 days front of line)and a week at the beach. Not cheap but none of it is sadly.You could see if the Magic your way tickets are any cheaper than buying Disney uk ones but I doubt it considering the exchange rate.
