Beyond Disney Are Many Wonderful
Orlando Theme Parks
The 4 major Disney theme parks, 2 water parks,
and other Disney attractions can keep you entertained
for weeks. However, there are many other wonderful
Orlando theme parks.
Orlando theme parks come is
many different shapes and sizes. From Sea World
with its amazing array of animals to Universal
Adventures high speed roller coasters, the Orlando
theme parks are not to be missed.
If you only have a short time in Orlando, 1
week or less, it is best to pick between the
Disney attractions and the other Orlando theme
parks. The reason for this is pure economics.
The longer the length ticket you purchase for
any group of attractions, the lower cost per
day. A 10 day theme park ticket will cost you
only half the cost per day as a 1 day theme
park ticket.
In addition to the larger
Orlando theme parks, there are many smaller
Orlando theme parks too. Below are a few of
my favorite Orlando theme parks and attractions
besides Disney. Be sure to buy discount tickets
is advance from Maple
Leaf Tickets or DW
Tickets.
