Crowds at Seaworld in September?

[mfeliciano]

I'm visiting for Seaworld and Aquatica with my 7yr. old daughter. We get there Sept. 3rd at night, so from Friday Sept. 4ht to Monday Sept 7th (Labor Day) we have unlimited visits to Seaworld and Aquatica. How are the crowds that time of the year? We just want to squeeze 1 day at Magic Kingdom. Which days would you recommend we go to Seaworld, Aquatica and MK? :confused:

i asked a simialr question a while back

we also arrive on the 3rd. after a 9hr flight and 2 young children, we are taking the friday off to let them recover; and spending the day by the pool/exploring the hotel.
we are going to aquatica on sat. probably for the whole day (looking at getting the all you can eat all day pass).
Seaworld on sunday. park is open until 10pm (goes down to 5/6pm the week after). hoping that the extra hrs will balance out the extra crowds, and make the park manageable (does that make sense?).
as we are planning to stay at seaworld all day on sunday, we'll take monday to rest before hitting disney on tues.

i dont know which day would be best for you to do MK. Mondays are meant to be one of the busiest days of the week, and with it being labor day, it may be best to avoid it. it also depends on whether seeing spectro & wishes is important to you (spectro showing sat and sun; wishes showing sat, sun, mon while your there), and plan around that.

You will get to see the night shows if you go the weekend but not during the week so go on the weekend. Labor Day weekend will be very crowded so it will take all day to do most of the things they have in the park. Do what you can. We have been there on Memorial Day, Christmas week, and labor Day before and since we go often we tend to give up on seeing the shows then and just do other stuff in the park. You will need to get to shows early to get seats in most of the stadiums on holiday weekends.

Since you are planning on a Non Disney rest day after SW on Sunday , you might want to go ahead and get the 2nd day free ticket and spend part of Monday at SW, too.

thanks, i was thinking that too, or spend a shorter day at aquatica and go to seaworld for a couple of hrs sat evening; as we have the 14day tickets

Just saying Hi and see you soon. We arrive Friday and all 7 of us are doing the Shark Dive :cool1: on Saturday. So if you are in Shark's Grill during lunch, wave at me in the cage.

We want to do seaworld sat sept 26, or mon sept 28th....Sat is preferable is every weekend busier than during the week at seaworld?

I'm there from 18th Sept, as far as i'm aware there is no evening shows that late in Sept, even at weekends??...

Slightly off topic: I'm more than likely right that a Tuesday in October (10/6) will most likely not be very crowded? Just curious and didn't want to start a whote new thread.
