There are more than 8 Disney Theme Parks. They are Disney's Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-GM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, Island of Adventure, Seaworld and Busch Gardens.
In addition, there are the Water Parks: Wet'n'Wild Water Park, Cypress Gardens Adventure Park, Fantasy of Flight and Discovery Cove. It will take you many holidays to cover them all. Magic Kingdom should be the starting point especially for younger kids. It has a lot to cater for the little ones. It is the home of Pirates of the Caribbean, Buzz Lightyear, Cinderella and Space Mountain.
Disney has a new fantastic ride at Animal Kingdom which is called Expedition Everest. It takes you through the dangerous Himalayas mountains. In addition, started in 2005, Bush Gardens in Tampa has a another great ride called Sheikra. It is 200ft tall, 70mph, 138ft drop - ride and is now Florida's tallest roller coaster. The minimum height requirement for that ride is 54 inches.
Sea World has 3 new gentler rides for juniors in its children's play area, including Shamu's express, which is a killer-whale themed roller-coaster.
Islands of Adventure is part of Universal Studios and has a number of fantastic rides including the Hulk coaster and the Spider-man show on Marvel Super-Hero Island, as well as toddler options on the famous Dr Seuss's patch.
The best place to stay for value for money is in a privately owned vacation rental home: Orlando Holiday Homes near Disney. You will have lots of space and privacy. The great majority of these houses are equipped with private pools. Some even have lots to do indoors if it rains, such as games rooms, books and board games. These houses are family homes so you will have your own private room on holiday. Private condos have shared pools and are often based in upscale resorts with everything you could wish for.
Rent a car at low prices (or bring your own if you can) and tour the area whilst you are there – that is, if you can tear yourself away from the Theme Parks!
