First time Florida holiday - need advice!

If you really want to chill on the gulf coast then south of Tampa Bay is quieter.

Agree with what everyone else has said about the doable. There are queue's and trust me in July it will be hot.

We are going this July & are only doing Universal

Worth taking a look at Hotels on I Drive that have free shuttle to the Parks, when we where last there, was $18 a day to park at Universal.

also worth considering staying one night at certain of the Universal Hotels which offer Express pass unlimited in the with the deal, if organised correctly you will get two days .

You can arrive early just drop you cases, get the passes, go to Park, then go back & check in, get pass renewed before you leave & leave cases at the hotel.

Be careful there are only three hotels that offer the deal - most expensive, so check the comparison sights or if you have loads of Tesco CC vouchers hotels.com
