Travel Tips
well first of all im going to start off by saying i would say that both parks are pretty cool.

disneyland generally entertains the ages of 1-10 and unversal studio entertaines the ages of 6 +


Disney land is generally suited for younger children and i would say is more prone to attracting little girls rather than boys (shure there are escpetions)

Your older son being 14 i dont think would want to go and hang out with buzz lightyear and micky mouse. My guess is he would be more interested in rides and other such adventures. Disney land contains more rides yet universal Studios contains more rides suiting older ages. If i had to pick which place to go i would chose Universal Studios
1. because its cheeper and you get more 4 your money
2. It has better entertainemnt for older children
3. Its less crowded gennerally and the lines seem to go much faster.

I think that discovery cove is a really cool place to take a 11 and a 14 year but i would question the Nicelodeon Hotel choice, most of the time boys their ages stop watching nickelodeon and start taking more intrest in more mature things, and shows. I have a feeling that the hotel will be packed with small children and you boys will feel slightly out of place there.

Hard Rock Cafe is a good idea over all i have absolutly no drawbacks on it what so ever.

Ask you sons where they would rather go aswell then you'll get direct feed back.

Hope this helps

Since there 11 and 14 Universal studios. I went to universal studios when I was 6 or 7 and had a blast.
I think since your kids are older, they'll appreciate Universal Studios more. I'm fourteen, and I really liked some of the new cool rides they offer. You have to pay extra to ride on one/some of the rides because they're so hot. I'd just ask my kids though. Their opinions count. And plus, if they start complaining about how they wish they'd gone to to the other, it won't be your fault because it was their choice ;)
There both great but if you can only do one you have to do Disney World,We went to Disney,Universal and MGM.Universal and MGM were fun but we were blown away by Disney
Well i think both are great. If the kids like roller coasters and thrill rides take them to Islands of Adventure. Disney World would also be great for them because they are still in the age range to go on all the rides. I'm 14 and i love every ride at Disney World down to Its A Small World. Oh if they don't like scary rides do not take them on Snow Whites Scary Adventures that ride is just creepy! lol Whats great at staying at the Hard Rock Cafe is your in walking distance of both parks and i believe you can go into the park an hour prior to the scheduled opening time. Discovery Cove its a beautiful park you almost forget your in a theme park heads up there is a large pool with a whole bunch of fish in it careful when your walking because without a warning the floor drops 20ft so that would be a nasty fall if you don't watch out for it. Hope you enjoy your time in Florida!
disney all the way
universal is awesome but not as magical as disney
Disney World. It is fun for every age.
