When You Travel to Orlando do you prefer Universal or Disney?

I haven't yet visited Florida but I have been to California. When I was 20 years old I visited Disneyland for one day and Universal Studios for another day. I think that you could spend sometime in Disneyland to appeal to your 7 year old and 4 year old daughters. Your teenage twin stepsons will probably really love going to Universal Studios. I hope that you will have a magical time in Orlando.

There is nothing quite like the magic of Disney, especially for a young child. But you do tend to outgrow it. The time before last, we skipped Disney completely and only went to Universal, islands of Adventure, and Seaworld, and the kids LOVED all three. And so did I--Universal has done a great job at its parks, and I especially loved the scenery and attention to detail on the Dr. Seuss section. And skipping Disney last time made us appreciate it more on our most recent visit. But my boys, 9 and 8, will soon outgrow the Magic Kingdom for good, I think. Hopefully they will remain interested in Animal Kingdom and Epcot for awhile!
