You can’t deny the popularity of theme parks like Walt Disney World or Universal Studios, but we do our best to try all of the ones in between, too! We love visiting amusement parks and testing out all the thrill rides and roller coasters. It’s amazing how different they can be from park-to-park and from one country to the next.
