Crowd estimate for SeaWorld Late Oct?

[flechette]

Morning All!

We're a group of 6 adults and it was decided we'd drive down a day earlier and get a visit to Sea World squeezed in in addition to the whirlwind 4 days at Disney

Can anyone tell me what the crowds tend to be like late in Oct? I get to plan the SeaWorld portion in addition to the WDW portion even tho I've never been to SW. Sounds like more shows than rides? I'm estimating $15 a person for a meal there, sound about right? Any other extra costs to be aware of?

Rough plan is to get there close to opening then stay til 4 - 6 pm then go checkin to OKW and hit DTD for dinner so I don't think the SW all-you-can-eat plan is needed.

Any advice and info is greatly appreciated!

Not sure about crowds in late October - but I would not expect them to be too bad. SeaWorld is mostly shows and exhibits, but the two coasters and the water ride are very good rides. I would try to these three at park opening, as the line will get longer later in the day. There is also a helicopter simulator ride in the Wild Artic Pavilion. This ride is OK, but not a must see if you have trouble fiiting into the schedule. The earliest show will not start to around 10:00. The show schedule for October will likely be on the web site by late September. If you plan accordingly you can probably get in all of the shows (there are 5). $ 15 would fine for CS meals - depending on how much you eat - it may be a little less. TS meals would be more expensive.

<cough> Oh this is going to be an interesting trip - I'm pretty alone in my desire to see shows at WDW, I guess as planner I'd better make sure peeps know what they're asking for

Thanks for the info! That's just what I needed, direction! It is appreciated.
