From March 2008

Four ways to run wild and unwind this spring:

Aquatica SeaWorld’s Waterpark (888/800-5447; aquaticabyseaworld.com) has a centerpiece slide that plunges riders through a dolphin lagoon.

The Simpsons attraction at Universal Orlando (407/363-8000; universalorlando.com), a virtual jaunt, ends in an actual Kwik-E-Mart. Care for a Squishee?

The grape juice menu at the Portobello Yacht Club restaurant (407/934-8888; levyrestaurants.com) in Downtown Disney lists a “Chardonnay” that all ages can sip.

Dr. Seuss–themed suites at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando (407/503-1000; loewshotels.com; suites from $750) provide a whimsical crashpad for Thing 1 and Thing 2, plus adjoining quarters for Mom and Pop.
