This October we are camping (pop-up) at FW for the first time (six nights). But we are not planning to tour the Disney theme parks this trip; Instead we are going to visit Universal Studios (2 days) and Sea World (1 day). My two teenagers (15 & 13) have never been to Universal and we though we ought to try it at least once. (We also need to save the $$$ by not buying multi-day park passes to WDW parks) I'm curious though. Has anybody else ever stayed at FW but not done the Disney Parks? I'm wondering if being so close to MK will make it unbearable, or if staying at FW will still give the trip that extra Disney magic.

I am considering buying tickets to MNNSHP (which we have done before and loved) the last night we are there, just to give the trip a great "Disney" finale.

We may also visit a water park one day, either BB, TL or maybe Aquatica, haven't decided which yet. Any thoughts?
