how many days are you wanting to spend in parks?

bringing food from home will save you a ton of money

Freeze stuff ? I would do one major park and then one more big thing not sure like what
Otherwise Friday and the day we are leaving I would do something smaller
I meant to write I would leave Monday not Tuesday

K I confused myself I would fly on Wednesday night so I have Thursday there and Friday would do so thing small . Sunday would like to do something bigger but not in the real parks and Monday something small so we can leave Sunday late at night or Tuesday early early morning . My son has to be in yeshiva Tuesday night

There are a lot of beautiful natural springs in ocala near Orlando. you can rent a tube for ~$10 and float down a natural lazy river. Depending on the season you can see manatees.

Do your kids like rides? Are they knowledgeable about Disney movies? The answers to these questions will give us better ideas of which park to go to.

You can go to a park and do a boat ride
There are theme parks and other parks that are less pricey
Bring frozen milk and cereal bread etc for breakfast. You can buy supper - they have some restaurants thede
Tampa has good food- they deliver( for shabbos)
Winn Dixie and Public have kosher groceries

Disney was having a 3 day ticket deal, and universal had a 2 day get 2 day free ticket deal. Those may work out about the same as 1 big park day and small activity days. Check their websites and run the numbers.

You can do Disney springs one day - it’s a nice mall with interesting stores like a cocoa cola store and a Lego store etc… also has some clothing stores…they have a hot air balloon u can ride for a small fee and some other activities.

Takeout is very expensive. If you are somewhere you can cook there is a Winn Dixie you can buy raw chicken/meat/hot dogs, frozen pizza, salmon etc... and make it. Maybe bring a George foreman and Betty crocker.

The major parks are super expensive. Fun spot is a cheaper option amusement park and you only have to pay for people who go on rides. Groupon has tons of activities for cheaper too.

I would recommend sea world. It's much cheaper than Disney and you can go on rides, the orca show is amazing, we loved the penguin exhibit. Not too much walking also like Disney. I've done Disney and it's very overpriced and overwhelming.
