My teenage daughters are ready to visit a couple of theme parks sometime during their Summer vacation.  We have visited all of the Disney Parks: the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Animal Kingdom over the years, multiple times.  My girls favorite is the Magic Kingdom, as the park is filled with rides.  They love Space Mountain, their famous roller coaster.  They also enjoy Thunder Mountain, another roller coaster.  Splash Mountain is a water ride with one big drop.  My favorite of the theme parks is Epcot, as there is so much culture there.  

The parks are only 45 minutes away from us, in Orlando, so it's a quick jump in the car and short drive over. In Orlando we can also visit Sea World, Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Wet 'n Wild, Aquatica, or Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Wonderworks.

This year we are thinking that we will head over to Tampa, on the west coast of the state, to visit Busch Gardens.  This is just over a 2 hour drive. Busch Gardens has a lot of roller coasters. They are running a special where you pay one admission, and that gives you 2 days in 2 parks. The first day you can go to Busch Gardens and the second day you can visit Tampa's water park, Adventure Island.  We haven't been to either of these parks yet.    

We are in such a great central location here in Brevard County, it's hard to decide where to go. And it's great because they're all in our own backyard!
