Busch gardens or Disney for teens?

Have 3 teens going to Florida. Trying to decide if we should go to Busch gardens or Disney. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you been to either? If you've never been to Disney I would definitly go there. I believe Busch gardens is expensive for what you get. It is $60.00 pp.

Busch Gardens has more thrill rides, and combined w/the cool animals I think it would be fun for teens. But which Disney park are you talking about? There are 4 different Disney parks.

We are not sure which Park in Disney. Thinking of MGM or Epcot. Not really sure. Any suggestions? I'm just starting to look into what the differences are.

Your teens will enjoy Disney and Busch. Both of these have attractions that the teens will like. Price-wise, they are about the same.

Depends on length of trip - Busch Gardens is good for a one-day visit - then you have to find something else to do - nice beaches nearby, so that is what we did.

WDW obviously has enough for days - if that is your thing, then go there.

Have you considered Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure? Two great parks that teens would love. If you stay at one of their three on site hotels, you get automoatic express access all day, every day!!

I went to Universal with my 2 boys age 14 and 7. They had the time of their life with the rides. The rides at Universal are more thrill rides than Disney. I would suggest 1 day in Disney and 2 days at Universal. The teens will really enjoy theme park and rides at Universal.
