Yikes! That is a pretty grueling schedule! Honestly, I would cut out Bush Gardens you have more then enough to keep you busy in Orlando. I honestly would decide between Disney and Univ./ Discovery Cove/ Seaworld, don't try to do both, you will regret it..

Also, don't forget you get a free pass to Seaworld with your Discovery Code ticket.
 
SeaWorld is out. Been there and it's not worth it. I know Busch is in Tampa, but I may be renting a car and I heard it's an awesome time.

I'm thinking of this as a tentative itinerary, comments are welcomed:

S - Travel (arrive 930pm)
M - Discovery Cove
T - Universal Studios / city walk at night
W - Universal Islands of Adventure
Th - Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom
F - Busch Gardens
Sat - Disney Hollywood Studios / Epcot
Sun - Travel (1030am flight)

Wow....you are gonna so tired when you come back home.... have fun, though!

The more I think about it, the more I think cutting our busch might be smarter. One of the reasons I was going that route is that you get a free admission with purchase of Discovery Cove

What do you mean decide between Disney and Universal? I think you have to do both when you're in Orlando
 
From my personal experience you need a down day in there so that gives you 5 full days to do the parks and either way you will have more than enough to do..

I guess it depends what you are into more, Universal has better attractions overall (some say Spiderman is best attraction in the world!) while Disney has much better shows/fireworks and a more immersive atmosphere..Your basically doing a commando approach and everyone I ever talked to that did that regretted it..I know I’ve done it..by day 4 or 5 you hit a wall and the wonder fades rapidly.

If you were to ask anyone that has ever been to Disney that you plan to do all 4 parks in 2 days they will tell you that your'e mad...I've been on 6 day trips to WDW and did not even do 50% of the stuff there is to do..
 
Refuel your rental before you get right at the airport. At most airports there are gas stations right near airport, not too much more $, however at Orlando airport the nearest station was at least a dollar more than by our condo. We were in a hurry and it was the only gas station on sight.

I'm starting to agree with you now that I've mapped this all out

Discovery Cove seems to be a "down" day since most of it is hanging out in the water and not too many attractions/activities to see...maybe i should put that in the middle of the trip.

Also, don't forget, if you want to eay at any good resturant in Disney you will need advance dining reservations...

Also, check the operating hours of each park to make sure you are maximizing your time the days you are there...MK is open to midnight on some days during busy times and the other Universal has different hours depending on the day.
