What do you guys think? Epcot? Disney Land? Universal?

I really enjoy Disney World and Epcot!  I would love to checkout the new parts of Disney World added on in previous years.  Universal is pretty good.

Has anyone been to Busch Gardens lately?  I haven't been since our kids were little.  Have they added themes (like different countries/cultures) like they have at the one in VA?

I have never been to any of the theme parks in Florida but have always wanted to go. I wanted to go to Disney World so bad when I was a child. And I know its not really a theme park but I have always wanted to go to Sea World and hopefully will in the next few years!

Well I'm a Florida girl  8), in fact live in Central Florida and I love ALL the theme parks................. however Disney has always been and will always be my favorite.  The rest are cool but just plant me in Disney and I'm happy.

Depends on the age of the kids.  Universal is a little more for younger children.  Epcot is enjoyable for adults (my favorite)  But they all cater to all ages and you will definitely enjoy yourself.

Disney used to be the best, but Universal has seriously stepped it up over the past decade or so. I think they're more friendly to people of all ages while Disney is more distinctly kiddish.

Plus, I'm a HUGE Harry Potter geek, so the Wizarding World is a major draw for me  8)

Epcot! You get to walk around all day, see the sights, and eat and drink food all day. What could be better? :D

Disney World is the best way to escape life, but it definitely isn't like the extreme action, if that's  what you are looking for.

When I was growing up, I had a great aunt and uncle that lived close to Orlando, so we got to visit quite a few times. I agree that it really depends on the age of the "kids" in the group (yes, you may be one of those "kids" once you get down there ;D ) When I was very young, Disney World was my favorite (I think my parent were ready to cut off their ears if they had to listen to my favorite ride's theme song one more time -- "It's a Small World After All"). Then as I got a little older, Epcot became my favorite. In my teens it was Bush Gardens and Wet n Wild, the former for the extreme rides and the latter for the cute girls in bikinis (well, that and also to swim and cool off in the water). Finally when I was in my mid-teens Pleasure Island was my fav. having several different clubs (like a comedy club) that you could visit (although I think I heard that PI has been closed  :P ). I never really got into Universal since when we went, the major attractions were for movies that I hadn't seen yet (or been allowed to see): Jaws, Blues Brothers, and I think Godzilla. But probably know esp with the Harry Potter franchise under their belt, the attractions would be better geared for a younger generation. I also think we visited MGM Studios once, but I don't really remember much of that park either...
