1. Universal Studios Island of Adventure

You will be able to ride so many roller coasters! Make sure to visit the Harry Potter Hogwarts School & ride attraction and taste some of the famous butter beer (a super yummy non-alcoholic beverage). There’s many other attractions and rides in the park such as King Kong, Spider Man, and one of my favorite attractions- the Dr. Seuss area!

Prices vary but are typically between $110 per day for one single park, or $165 for the one day ‘park to park’ opportunity (this price does not include taxes). Make sure to plan ahead and search for deals online!

2. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park

(or others such as Magical Kingdom or Epcot)

In Animal Kingdom, you will be able to visit different cultures of the world after spending several hours at the park. Different areas featured in the park consist of India, Africa, Asia and more.  Prices can vary from $99-$119, depending on whether it’s a value, regular or peak day (how busy the park considers itself). 

If you do go to Animal Kingdom, I highly recommend doing the safari!  Try to hit the park as early as possible, that way you can ride the safari at least twice. The safari wait can be up to 2+ hours, so it is important to plan your day accordingly. I recommend riding twice like I did, because some animals may be hiding and this gives you another chance to see them if you didn’t the first time!

I also recommend seeing the Lion King show. The wait times generally go by fairly quickly, and the show is absolutely amazing and very engaging. I feels as if it you’re visiting broadway itself. The quality of the show is that amazing!
