Dining plan and Sea World

[disneyMom200812]

I am exciting to plan our next trip. This time I plan to spend two days in Sea World. That means we will have two extra days of dining credit. What do I do with them? Any suggestions? I am thinking maybe one day we can leave sea world early and go to a Disney restaurant. We will have a car. Is it difficult to park in downtown disney or boardwalk area? Is it better of go to a resort restaurant? Will they let us park since we don't stay there? We will be staying at POP century. TIA.

Hi, firstly you should have no probs parking in either DTD or the Boardwalk area - we didn't when we were there in June. If you have got 2 spare CS and 2 spare TS credits, I would use the TS credits up by booking either a character meal or a signature restaurant depending what you prefer as these both use 2 not the usual 1 credit - you could therefore have 2 special meals on the days you are in Disney. For the CS credits perhaps you could use them for breakfast one day instead?

You won't have a problem parking at Boardwalk or a resort w/an ADR at that site.

You can use your TS credits many ways, including using 2 or 3 or more Table service credits in the same day. You can book a character breakfast (as far as I know only Cinderella's Royal Table character meal requires 2 TS credits..the rest of the character meals are 1 TS credit) and also use one for a TS dinner. You can book a dinner show like Spirit of Aloha or Hoop-de-doo Revue for 2 TS credits. Or as pp suggested, do a signature dining restaurant for 2 TS credits.

I think it would be kind of a pain to leave Sea World early just to eat...not sure when your trip is, but keep driving in traffic to a minimum to maximize your vacation enjoyment!

Happy planning!
