You will need a day at each Universal park. The Simpsons simulator ride at Universal (the original park) is a must do.

Most people if going to Islands of Adventure head for either the Hulk Coaster or the Harry Potter land first. Bear in mind the Harry Potter land is right at the back right hand end of this park. If they like rollercoasters then they must try the Hulk Coaster and the one in Harry Potter world.

They may well enjoy a day too at SeaWorld. SeaWorld offers the public an opportunity to feed some of their animals at specific times of the day (although it can be a bit of a scrum).

Disney in Florida is nothing like DLP Grin You could buy a day ticket for Animal Kingdom - my teens loved that park.

The 2 Universal parks are fantastic for teens. We always bought tickets on the gate. They usually have some sort of offer on like buy 3 days and get 4. The advance tickets you can buy in the UK are usually for 2 weeks, so if you are only going for a week (we only ever have a week and TBH it's plenty) it's probably not worth it.

The other place we love is Discovery Cove. It's expensive but a memorable day. We booked direct on their US website and it was cheaper than taking up any of the UK "offers". With it you get a day ticket to Seaworld as well, so that's 2 days.

If you don't buy a Hopper ticket you buy one for a specific Disney park. TBH I thought Epcot was over-rated and we did it in 1/2 a day.
