Has anyone been to Disneyland/Universal/Sea World in Florida as well as Movieworld/Dreamworld/Seaworld in Queensland. If so how do they compare?

We have been to most of them!
Disneyworld in Florida is by far the best of the Disney resorts, though Disneyland is worth a couple of day visits. You will need a few days to see a small amount of Disneyworld it is huge and a lot of walking is involved.
Seaworld Florida is another great day out, if you book it on the internet you sometimes get a 2nd day free. Good for younger kids, they can stroke the dolphins etc.
Universal has 2 separate parks you have to pay more if you want to visit both. Islands of Adv has the big coasters whilst the original has more of the movie rides like Jaws, Twister. 1 day in each is plenty.
Dreamworld is a good theme park for out here! There are lots of rides, similar to Thorpe park rides. Also a great children's zoo where you can cuddle a koala, kangaroo etc. We visited on our reccie trip and the koalas were the highlight.
Movieworld is similar but without the animals.

Disneyland is in Calafornia, Disneyworld is in Flordia. Disneyworld is outstanding far superior to Disneyland (Calafornia).
Both movieword and dreamworld are pale immations of Disneyland (Calafornia) they are much smaller and don't have the same magic. Good thing about them is that at the moment the ques for the rides are miniscule and you can get in lots of rides without too much queing.
Seaworld (QLD) is a mismatch of animal shows (dolphins, seals, etc) water skiing demo and jet ski's with a few rides,(about 10) a swimming area with a beach for kids and water slides. Not been to Seaworld Flordia or Universal so cannot comment.
