Disney World and Universal Studios Vacation Help

We’re planning a 5 day trip to Orlando during the coming weeks.
2 Children and 2 Adults (family trip). We’ve been to Disneyworld before and have one day left of our tickets. We were thinking of visiting Magic Kingdom for the day.

After inquiring of Universal Studios, a few people have suggested to go to both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Orlando. What is the best way to purchase tickets? Are there any ticket deals? (just tickets no meals please)

What are some other tips on Travellling to Disney and Universal? What are the best rides at each park? Any ways to save some cash?

We’ve booked a hotel in the Downtown Disney area. What are some restaurants near there that may be affordable yet delicious ( preferably one that offers vegetarian options – 3/4 vegetarians in the family)

Hello! First of, lets conquer your Universal Studios question. You are better to get a park hopper ticket so you can see both. They’re great parks. You can get discount tickets online by visiting their website www.universalstudios.com and sometimes the hotels have cheaper tickets. If you participate in one of their timeshares, you can receive tickets for free. The hotels around the Downtown Disney district (I’ve stayed at all of them) frequently promote timeshares.

Some great restaurants in Downtown Disney that has all you’re looking for is Bongos, Planet Hollywood, and Rainforest Cafe. Near the district there is Shoney’s (a Denny’s type), Pizzaria Uno, and Outback Steakhouse. If you drive down S. Apopoka Vineland Blvd. you will surely find more places to eat.

Ways to save money: Try to eat breakfast before you get to the park and dinner afterwords. The food in the park isn’t that expensive but it is for what you get (example: double cheeseburger and fries no drink $9.00). Disney doesn’t offer coupons. To the best of my knowledge the only parks that allows you to bring in your own food are Typhoon Lagoon & Blizzard Beach.

Best rides at Magic Kingdom:
Peter Pans Flight
Space Mountain
Splash Mountain
Pirates of the Caribbean
The tea cups

Universal & Islands of Adventure:
ET
The Mummy
The Hulk
The Simpsons Ride (but don’t wait longer than an hour for it)

Hopefully I was able to help some! Have a great time!
