2 or 3 days at Sea World?

[vaultingangel23]

I have a 4 year old son that is in love with sea animals and the weekend Sea World show "Sea Rescue." We are flying to Orlando on a Friday this spring to spend a few days at Sea World before going on a cruise which begins on that Monday.

We have 2 different flight options (same price) that I am having trouble deciding on.

1- Arrive in Orlando 10:15AM Friday.
Pro- Get an extra afternoon at Sea World
Con- My son will miss 6 days of preschool

2. Arrive in Orlando 4:00pm Friday.
Pro- Son misses 5 days of school vs. 6
Con- We lose Friday afternoon at the park and have Saturday and Sunday only.

My son is short (44") so Sky Tower and Mantra are out for him. We plan to get Sesame Place season passes so we could go to Aquatica too if we would like.

Is the extra afternoon to be able to do Sea World or Aquatica worth another missed day of preschool (school is onl 2.5 hours each day) or will we have plenty of time in our 2 full days Saturday and Sunday? I'm thinking with my sea creature loving son the more time the better because he will be happy seeing the same show 3 times or standing at an observation tank for hours.

If he loves Sealife that much, then go for 3 days. He will probably learn more at Seaworld that Friday afternoon than he will at preschool that day.

Your son can ride the SkyTower as long as he is accompanied by someone 14 or older (Mom will do fine ):

Guests must be 48 inches tall or accompanied by a supervising companion who is at least 14 years old to ride.

Its completely enclosed, and similar to a large slow-rotating room, so definitely good for any age (even babies on laps).

As for how many days........I say go for the max you have available to you!!! I love SeaWorld and would squeeze in as many days of enjoyment as I could.
