Disney World Question

If you're looking for good rides and only planning on spending a day (and you don't care about Disney theming)you might want to check out the Universal Studios park. They have some really great rides and you won't experience the frustrating crowds of Disneyworld.

Keep in mind most people spend a week minimum at Disneyworld. Even one park for one day could be a bit frustrating.

Disney is not the best park for rides, or at least rides that at your age would be enjoyable. I would recommend Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, the Hulk coaster is awesome.

Islands of adventure no doubt

I agree with the others, Islands of Adventure is the way to go. We were down there last week, my kids are only 5 and 7 so we spent most of our time at Disney Parks but did spend a day at Universal. We got a $85 unlimited pass at AAA for unlimited in both parks for 7 days. We only spent one day, but did hit both parks, the coasters and other rides looked awesome at Islands of Adventure. The Spiderman ride was pretty cool, kind of like a simulator with 3-D thrown in, my 7 year old was a little freaked out when Spidey landed on our car and pulled off his 3-D glasses. I wanted to do the Hulk Coaster real bad, but never got the chance, we spent our time at Suess Landing.

At Disney, each park may have a couple of rides for the older crowd, but not much more. For example, Animal Kingdom has expedition Everest which is really cool, but not a whole lot more as far as rides go.

Universal was much less crowded as well, there was a little kiddie coaster in the regular Universal that my kids liked, so we road it about 6 times in a row with no wait at all. Most of the waits at Islands of Adventure for the bigger attractions were around 20-30 mins. That was on a Friday, weekends may be more crowded. If you get there right when it opens, you can get a lot of rides done in the morning.

I used to work in one of the theme parks.

I personally like epcot and animal kingdom. Epcot may get a little boring for your younger siblings. The best part about it is dinking around the world.

Animal Kingdom has some pretty good rides and added a new rollercoaster a few years ago that I haven't been on yet.

Magic Kingdom is a lot of kids rides that are fun to experience for the hell of it, but I wouldn't spend the $50 to go there.

MGM is fun, but I could never spend a lot of time there. All it really has going for it is the tower of terror and rockin roller coaster.

With that said, I would go with what others have suggested and go to Islands of Adventure at Universal. Many more rides and they are a lot more fun.

Plus Universal has Margaritaville!

If you are only spending one day at Disney World, Its got to be at the Magic Kingdom!!! Magic Kingdom has the most rides anyway...
