Busch Gardens/ attractions/ tours/recs???

[JennCa]

I've been to all the main Orlando parks many times, but have NEVER been to Busch Gardens. I have a 4 year old so i thought this November would be the perfect time!

How long is the drive from Disney hotel areas to BG? Is there lots of traffic usually?

Are the weekend normally the worst crowds? Is it mostly locals?

Do they have ride swap/baby swap? Soem type of things like that?

Anyone been and can give me any tips?

Does anyone have a tour guide type list of which attractions to visit 1st or what gets busy?

If there's no traffic issues on I-4, it will take around an hour or so to get there. Try to time your drive so you aren't hitting rush hour in Tampa. Crowds during the off season are a little heavier on the weekend, but not bad. In the summer, it can be crowded all week. I haven't been with children, so I can't answer your child swap question. They do have some thrilling rides there, but I prefer seeing the animals myself.

I went for the first time in April and loved it. Didn't really follow a plan-park was very empty as a storm in the Northeast had cancelled many flights. Walked on to all the kiddie rides often with the operator waiting for my kids to board! They said it was an unusual day!I had looked over a book The other Orlando by Monaghan which had touring plans but didn't need them.

I am not sure about baby swap or park plans but I do know it will take an hour and a half at the most.
