I think I've finally convinced my husband to take our family of 4 to the US for a holiday! We have two girls who will be 13 and 16 by the time we go.

The 13 yr old is obsessed with Harry Potter, so I'm thinking The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando is a must. The 16 yr old however isn't that interested in Harry Potter. What else is there to do in the Florida area that she might like? We really have no clue at this stage how long we'll be there or where else we might go, though I don't imagine we'd venture too far from the state.

Would love to hear suggestions, and any tips/tricks to save money. e.g. one online search says to "stay at an on-site hotel and purchase a Universal Orlando Vacation Package". ... etc. Is that really the best way to go?
