Hello everyone! I am taking my kids 11 & 8 to Orlando/Tampa in April for a family wedding. I have two questions.

I saw on another post awhile back a link for some condo's that were really nice and cheap in Orlando! I cannot remember where I found it. Anyone have any suggestions. We will be staying 4 nights.

Also, we are taking the kids to Busch Gardens Tampa with other members of the family and then we are going to two parks on our own in Orlando. We are trying to decide between Disney (some say its too young for our kids), Universal Studios and Legoland. What are your opinions of them.

I really value your opinions so any help would be great!

Thanks!!!

What can I do next?

DISNEY is too young?? That preposterous! Disney is for everyone, of ALL ages! Definitely go to Disney, it's way better than Universal or Legoland, and my second park would be Seaworld, hehe.. just my opinion :-) Have fun in whatever you choose!!

Your kids are prefect age for Disney. We went when my oldest was 10 and youngest was 7 and they loved it. The oldest is fixing to turn 13 in a few days and is asking when we are going back.

Your kids sound like they are just the right age for Disney, Legoland caters to kids 5 to 12 so that should be fun for them too. Check out villasdirect.com or google search for vacation rentals. You should look in Kissimmee Maingate west for rentals (or check out a map first) that's where the entrance to Disney is and you will be closer to Legoland. If you have questions about the area PM me and I can help you out. (I am about 20 minutes to the Disney entrance).

Your kids are perfect age for any of those parks. Look at VRBO.com and it has condo rentals, that is where we get ours for every vacation we take.

My question is do your kids like roller coasters. My daugher who is ten loves them and has a blast at Universals on them. WE do go to Disney every year and I love it and my daughter likes it also though she does seem to be growing out of it. Bush Gardens and Seaworld are owned by the same people so you can sometimes get deals of getting into a second one half off or some other deal.

We have passes to Busch Gardens and love it. You get the animals, rides, games, shows, etc.

Your kids are not to young for Disney. They will love it.

The Nick Resort is a lot of fun. We stayed there in Sept. They have movies, games, on site restaurants, pools, etc.

Haven't been to Legoland yet.
