Thanks

I suupose you have to do the main disney parks whilst you are there, but IMO they are nothing special unless you're with young kids.
I'd suggest going to a few water parks though, and Busch Gardens is a must although depending where you are staying in Florida could be a bit far.

I plan on doing as many water parks as possible, staying on International Drive if that helps?

DEf go to a Sizzlers 
Agreed with Cosmo about young kids and Disney. But you could still do them even without kids. You just wouldn't want as many days. Go to Universal. The water parks are ace. Typhoon Lagoon

As Cosmo said, quite a bit from Busch Gardens but it was my favourite park. Unless you really want to go or have kids going, wouldn't bother with disney.
Good thing about I-Drive is that you are close to sea world, wet n wild, aquatica and both of the universal parks.
We usually buy "flextickets" which, for £114 give you 6 parks -
The Orlando FlexTicket includes 14 days of unlimited admission to:
Universal's Islands of Adventure®
Universal Studios®
SeaWorld® Orlando
Wet 'n Wild® Orlando
and Aquatica™, Florida's newest waterpark.

Waste of time going there and not renting a car IMO anyway. We do and it gets you further and saves you money at the same time. Well worth it.

International drive, we stay in the Quality inn plaza, across from wonderworks.. (upside down building)..
Theme parks, deffo reccomend seaword, bucsh gardens and that new water park across from sea world.
Discovery cove is good too, but you have to book.
All the disney parks, typhoon lagoon is my fave, universal studios and islands of adventure.
Check out florida mall too.
And golden corral aswell as sizzlers.
Golden corral is on I-drive across from Mcdonalds.

It's only really 1 hr 30 to get to Busch Gardens, isn't it? Driving. That's not too bad.
Sea World is good, better than the Disneys. Universal is worth seeing too. You can get passes that cover a decent number of parks for $x and it's cheaper to do. Can buy them on the door of the first park you go to iirc.

Went to Discovery Cove the very first time I went to Florida. Deffo something to experience atleast once, need to book WELL ahead though, is pricey too but an excellent experience.
