Theme Parks

A guide to Disney World, Universal, SeaWorld and more for UK families
Let's be honest — for most UK families, the theme parks are the whole reason you're going to Florida in the first place. And rightly so. Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens — there is nowhere else on earth where you can experience this concentration of world-class attractions in one place. But the theme parks can also be overwhelming, expensive and exhausting if you don't know what you're doing. I've been going since before half of the rides existed, and I've taken my own kids through the gates more times than I can count. This is where I share everything I know — which parks to prioritise, how to beat the queues, how to buy tickets without getting ripped off, and how to make the most of every single day.
