Our Theme Park Tips

Disney Parks

Magic Kingdom-This is the best park for children but it doesn't mean adults don't have fun too. Due to the time it takes you to enter the park, we don't recommend going unless you can commit more than 8 hours to your trip (we usually get there when it opens and stay till it closes)

Our Favorite Ride: Jungle Cruise

Our Favorite Restaurant: Pecos Bill's

Animal Kingdom-While we love this park, be warned that weather can play a big part in your enjoyment. We think you need around 6 hours here if you don't add in Pandora (at minimum of 2hrs just for this area)

Our Favorite Ride: Expedition Everest

Our Least Favorite Rides: Its Tough to Be a Bug and Dinosaur

Our Favorite Quick Restaurant: Satu'li Canteen

Our Favorite Sit-down Restaurant: Tusker House

EPCOT- This park has a reputation for being adult focused (drinking around the world) but we still enjoy going here and not partaking in any alcohol. You can do a quick trip here in about 6 hours but wouldn't be bored spending your entire day here either. Don't forget to stop by and say hi to Amy's stingrays and sharks at the Seas with Nemo and Friends.

Our Favorite Ride: Living with the Land

Our Favorite Restaurant (Sit-down): Restaurant Marrakesh

Hollywood Studio-With Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening in August, we recommend staying far away from this park to avoid large crowds and wait times. If you still want to go be prepared (Also, if you want to visit Star Wars, please note that you may need to book a reservation time to enter the land at all).

Our Favorite Ride: Tower of Terror

Our Favorite Restaurant (reservations recommended): Sci-Fi Dine In


Universal Studios

We recommend getting a two park pass so you can ride the Hogwarts Express. We feel you can do both Universal parks in one very full day or two slower-paced days. Alternatively if you want to splurge, the Universal Express Pass will let you cut all the lines, but the price tag tends to be close to the cost of a one day ticket. Be warned the majority of the rides here feature 3-D effects so if you suffer from motion sickness you may want to look elsewhere.

Our Favorite Ride: Men in Black

Our Favorite Restaurant: Leaky Cauldron

Islands of Adventure

Our Favorite Ride: The Hulk

Our Favorite Restaurant: Thunder Falls Terrace

Citywalk

Our Favorite Restaurant: The Cowfish

SeaWorld

We LOVE SeaWorld for its affordability and small crowd size (and the plethora of sea creatures). While there are great thrill rides and nice shows there isn't a lot in between. We recommend a minimum of 6 hours but would prefer 8 or more to maximize our experience.

Our Favorite Ride: Mako (Ride the front row)

Our Favorite Show: Sea Lion High

Our Favorite Restaurant: Voyagers Smokehouse
