Review
The thrill-first Orlando alternative, now even bigger with Epic Universe. Teens usually prefer it to Magic Kingdom. Toddlers have DreamWorks bits but will tire faster than at Disney.
Our recommendation. If your children are 9–16 and you are in Orlando, this may beat Disney for a single-day hop.
