A December run through Florida's great parks. Universal Orlando brought the Wizarding World and Springfield to life; SeaWorld gave us a full day of dolphins, penguins, manatees and killer whales.
Gatorland delivered its basking alligators by the hundred, and Busch Gardens over in Tampa rounded things out with tigers, apes, and Christmas lights strung through the park. Five days, and a different world behind every gate.
This trip ran 5 days, December 17–24, 2015. Along the way we spent time at SeaWorld Orlando and Gatorland & Busch Gardens Tampa. The gallery below tells it day by day, in 60 photographs.
