- Roteiro de Jose' / Outubro 2025
=======================
- Jose' + Grant Watt - Dezembro 2025
- JB- I had been meaning to ask about Disney tickets. Do you use any particular website?
- GW- We tend to bundle it when we book the hotels, so not really. Depending on the type of ticket (number of days, whether you're doing all parks, etc.) I can see if I can find something for you?
- JB- I'm aiming to get there 3rd July 2026 (yes...) and be around for 20 days. of that 20 days, how many do you reckon you'd want to be in parks? (also, just Disney? Or things like Seaworld, Busch Gardens?). 4 nights of parks. Don't need consecutive as will be based in tampa.
Kinda Epcot, Bush g, universal. Little excitement rides required, but I hear simulators are cool, too. No water parks (my sister and nieces find local river springs are cooler an option) - GW- Good thing about Disney is that every park has some 'thrill' rides (insofar as rollercoasters go), but also lots of smaller and more immersive ones. Happy to help you plan days for each park.
A good chunk of the simulators are excellent- if you've seen Avatar (the blue people one), there's a massive simulator that's utterly incredible.
I'll have a think on what the best idea if you want a night in each park is. Problem is it may (read: no seriously it will) be quite pricey. Will get back to you when I've thought some more. - JB - 4 nights. Don't need consecutive as will be based in tampa. Kinda Epcot, Bush g, universal. Little excitement rides required, but I hear simulators are cool, too. No water parks (my sister and nieces find local river springs are cooler an option)
- GW- If you're looking for not-so-thrilly, I'd bin Busch gardens potentially. Universal/Islands of Adventure has lots of thrill rides, but also a bucketload of not-so-crazy rides, so I'd probably stick to those for non-Disney parks.
- 20260114 - email de Jose pra Paul LLoyd (porque a esposa dele e' especialista em Disney):
1- tampa based and go for 1 day/ 2 day trips tops around the area.
2- round tour starting and anding in Tampa
What do you think? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated 🙂 My current notes are below.

* In general
I'm aiming to get there 3rd July 2026 (yes...) and be around for 20 days. of those 20 days, how many do you reckon you'd want to be in parks? (also, just Disney? Or things like Seaworld, Busch Gardens?). 4 nights of parks. Don't need to be consecutive.
My sister already suggested not to do water parks as they will take us to many local river springs.
My current guess: Epcot, Bush g, universal? Little excitement rides required, but I hear simulators are cool, too.
* For idea 2 - my first round tour thoughts
Paragraph 1 – Universal Orlando:
Both Universal parks are worth visiting together because you can hop on the Hogwarts Express between them, and they offer the most 4‑D rides (e.g., Hagrid’s Motorbike Adventure). Jurassic Park attractions and the Simpsons/Marvel areas also have 4‑D experiences. You could squeeze both parks into a single day if you skip the major coasters (Hulk, Velociraptor), but a three‑park pass that includes Epic Universe may be more cost‑effective if you have extra time, since Epic is located elsewhere and would require an additional day.
Paragraph 2 – EPCOT (Disney):
EPCOT shines with standout rides such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Test Track, and the “ball” ride, plus a World Showcase where each country presents its own architecture, flora, merchandise, and cuisine. Small attractions like Frozen (Norway) and Ratatouille (France) are enjoyable when lines are short. Live music appears in several pavilions (American, English, Canadian). Nightly fireworks and a lake‑side show are highlights; a good viewing spot is the Rose & Crown Pub in the United Kingdom pavilion.
Paragraph 3 – Hollywood Studios (Disney):
Must‑see areas include Toy Story Land (with the popular 3‑D shooting ride Midway Mania) and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where Rise of the Resistance offers an unmatched immersive experience—even for non‑fans. A hidden bar provides a cool break. The Tower of Terror and shows like Villains in Mirrors and the Indiana Jones stunt show add variety. The evening spectacular Fantasmic! showcases many beloved characters and is worth staying for.
Paragraph 4 – Magic Kingdom (Disney):
Iconic features are Cinderella’s Castle and nightly fireworks. Signature rides include Space Mountain (dark coaster), Big Thunder Mountain (mine‑train coaster), Pirates of the Caribbean, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and the newer Tron Lightcycle Power Run. The park also offers gentler attractions such as the Haunted Mansion and PeopleMover, numerous shops, and dining spots. In July, use indoor shops for air‑conditioned relief from the heat.
Paragraph 5 – Animal Kingdom (Disney):
The largest Disney park, focused on wildlife and spacious environments. Highlights are the Kilimanjaro Safaris, Expedition Everest, and the River Rapids (great for cooling off but will get you wet). Shows include The Lion King and Finding Nemo. The park’s lush landscaping, tropical plants, and roaming parrots create an immersive atmosphere. Pandora – The World of Avatar is the centerpiece, with Flight of Passage as the top‑rated ride. The park closes early, with no fireworks, but Pandora comes alive after dark.
Paragraph 6 – Time Needed for Disney Parks:
Plan a full day for each Disney park to experience most attractions and stay for evening fireworks or shows, even though the days will be long.
Paragraph 7 – Ticket Options:
Disney sells single‑day, one‑park tickets and multi‑day passes for multiple parks. Buying tickets in advance (e.g., via Attraction Tickets) is usually cheaper and provides a QR code for phone entry. The author uses a 14‑day “ultimate” ticket covering both Disney and Universal, though such a lengthy pass isn’t necessary for a shorter trip. Research pricing ahead of time to know what fits your itinerary and budget.
