Disney World
Living in Central Florida has a few advantages. One of which is the close proximity to the theme parks. Orlando is just a short drive, and of all theme parks, I will still have to say that Disney is still the best.
We usually purchase Seasonal Passes, that are offered to Florida Residents. We have some blackout dates throughout the year. To be really honest with you though, the blackout days are the parks' busiest, and I don't want to be there when the rest of you are there anyways. If I were one of you tourist types, I wouldn't come down here during the dead heat of Summer. Nor would I come down here during either the Holidays, or Spring Break.
It's too damn hot to be walking around a theme park anytime between May and September. To be honest April is our usual cut-off date. Oh sure we might go over and stay at one of the resorts for a weekend, but walking the park...forget that! You need to come here when the temperature and humidity are down, and when all the other families are still back home.
Universal is a nice park too. I would put it a very close second to Disney. Islands Of Adventure has several water rides to help cool you off.
Sea World, though nice, is very small, and to be really honest, not really worth the price of admission. There aren't really that many things to see to make it worthwhile. The only redeeming quality is the free beer samples given out by Anheuser-Busch.
International Drive is the tourist trap area of Orlando......a few neat things to look at. (Ripley's Believe it or Not, Titanic, Wet-n-Wild, and various restaurants.
These are just my opinions, and we all know what they say about opinions.
