I just want to emphasize the benefit of staying onsite at Universal (if you decide to add this to your trip). By staying at one of the three onsite Loews hotels at Universal, you will have front of the line access at the parks. The hotels are Portofino Bay, Hard Rock Hotel and Royal Pacific Resort. I have stayed at all three and highly recommend each of them. I agree that your teens would probably love Islands of Adventure, but we went to Orlando in February (myself and two teens ages 16 and 17) and we did Disney and Universal. We had big fun. We stayed at the Royal Pacific Resort at Universal this trip and drove to Disney, but we were only staying four nights. If staying a week or more, I would split my stay. Anyway, my point is that the teens enjoyed Disney too. We had breakfast at the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom with Winnie the Pooh and his pals. We had a good time and took some great pictures.

Whatever you decide, you are going to have fun. Just do some investigating so you can get the best deals. As I mentioned before, go to disboards.com - you will find tons of info there.

Have fun!
