Universal Studios
Islands of Adventure, Universal’s sister theme park, is a great entertainment spot for the family. The Hulk and Dueling Dragon coasters are guaranteed to thrill visitors.

Universal Studios Orlando offers the Revenge of the Mummy attraction and many other great rides based on popular shows such as Shrek, Men in Black, ET, Jaws, The Simpsons, and more.
Disney World
Disney World is much more than rides. At no extra charge, guests can enjoy parades in the daytime at several parks and a beautiful nighttime parade in the Magic Kingdom along with a fireworks show. See the live stage shows, including a stunningly imaginative staging of Finding Nemo. During the day Disney characters meet with kids at the Crystal Palace restaurant, and Winnie the Pooh characters sing, dance, and pose for pictures.
