Hi everyone! Thank you in advance for you help & suggestions. I feel very uneasy about a Universal trip! Disney I've got down to a science, but we're changing things up this year!
Looking at doing 8 nights at Universal onsite around the 3rd/4th wk of August. I'm thinking that since we've got the time, I'd like to get to all of Universal, Sea World, Aquatica & Discovery Cove. Is that too much to cram into 1 trip? I keep hearing how much more relaxing US is then Disney, so I'd like to enjoy that, instead of the normal commando style of Disney.
For tickets, I'm thinking of doing Annual Passes for US (with the thought that the following year during our disney trip we could go back there for a day or 2) Then getting tickets for Discovery Cove which include Sea World & Aquatica. Still having a hard time with the Discovery Cove prices.....they sound crazy, but all I keep reading is how amazing it is there.
Also, will Express passes be a necessity at that time? I would love to have them, but we're a family of 6 that will prob have to stay a Cabana Bay since it will cost more then double to stay at the other hotels.
And how would the 6 of us be getting to Sea World/Aquatica & Discovery Cove? Is is going to cost a small fortune just to do that? Should we be renting a car? Then I'd be paying parking fees that I don't want to pay for...lol!
Thanks for any advice!!
