Hi guys! This will be our 3rd family trip down to Orlando, Florida this year. We are going to be visiting WDW, US/IOA, and DC/SW/Aquatica. We have been to DC once previously, and SW a few times, but never been to Aquatica as we were just never able to fit that into our trip. However, since we are going for close to 2 weeks, I am excited to say we will be heading there this trip!
Here are some basic infos:-
We will be there from 4/22/17-5/5/17 (the first time it's so long!!!)
There are total 9 of us : 7-adults, 1-3T, and 1-baby
We are most likely doing DC on Sat, 4/29/17.
I have a few questions regarding DC, SW, and Aquatica though and hope to get answers from all you helpful trip planners and vets!

- We have no interest in going to BG or doing Dolphin Swin, so we are just getting the basic DC Resort Day just for relaxing. I want to confirm that both SW and Aquatica is included for unlimited 14 days before/after the DC dates?
- I've read in some posts that it's possible to upgrade just one ticket to Ultimate Upgrade so that we can get free parking across all 3 parks. I guess I want to confirm that this isn't frowned upon?
- There will be no problems at the gate if we were to do SW before DC? We are planning on doing half day at SW on our arrival day.
- I see that cabanas at Aquatica is generally recommended on this forum. But if we were to go on a weekday, is it still necessary? We've never been to Orlando during these times so we're pretty unsure about crowd levels.
- Add on Cabana questions - if we were to get a cabana (mainly for kids and my parents to rest), do we still need to add everyone in our group if we're not all planning on being at the cabana at the same time? Not trying to cheat the system since I don't mind paying the extra $15-$30 per person, just seeing if it's worth it. Especially if I know there will be people in our group that might not even be at the cabana at all.
- Where would you recommended for the cabana?
- Any feedback / opinions as to how the weather might be like during this time?
- Also any other info you think we might need for this trip?
