Which major theme park would be best to visit and do you have access/sources to coupons (although I usually can find them on EBay)? 4. Any local kid friendly activities? 5. For the nights we get quiet time, I would love a great sushi place or restaraunt with vegetarian entrees for my wife. Thank you in advance for your help!!
