For parks, which would you rather

[Zoemakes5]

Keeping in mind we're staying off site, the week before/of Easter, with grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, 12yoDS 10yoDS and 5yoDD, which would you choose?

(a) three days at Disney
(b) two days at Disney and one day at Sea World
(c) one day Disney, one day Sea World, one day day at Universal
(d) could take any/all of the above.

Thanks!

b

you can do a poll...

although 3 days is not enough to do disney - but I think you know that...

with the new tickets the longer you stay at Disney the better the prices.

If all you have is 3 days and you won't be back for a while I would try all 3 parks. My choices would be:
1 Day Magic Kingdom
1 Day Seaworld
1 Day 2 park pass at Universal and Islands of Adventure

If you can do these parks mid-week you'll get a whole lot more done. At the least try and save WDW parks for mid-week. IOA is a big walk so try that one early on when everyone is fresh. Go to lunch in the CItywalk area between the parks and hit Universal proper in the aftenoon when you'll be tired and not want to walk.

If you have time in between I'd do a day at a park, rest a day, do a day at a park, rest a day and then do the last day at a park. Trying to fit all three in a 3 day span might be overwhelming for everyone involved and ruin the trip. But if that's all the time you have then just take frequent rests and try to avoid the 'I'm going to get my money's worth go-commando' attitude, it'll ruin everyone's fun and make you feel like you've wasted all your money because NO-ONE will be smiling at the end of the day. Take it easy and enjoy your family no matter how many days you have.

Have a fantastic trip.

If you have not been to Disney before I would spend 3 days there.

If you have been to Disney I would spend the third day at Sea World.

I would do all three days at Disney unless this is your 4-5th trip with the kids. We are about to have our 4th trip with the kids and we are doing Disney again because we bought 10 day nonexpiring tickets for our last trip. If we didn't have the tickets already paid for, I might have considered doing either US or Seaworld. With the exception of the baby, we have done Disney enough so that it is time to see other things. I think at Seaworld you can get in another day free within 7 days of attending, if you stop at guest services on the way out. There was some deal like this when I was researching before check the website. Also, check US website because I think they have a ticket deal now too. What do your kids want to do?

Really depends on how often you've done Disney this far. I agree w/ whoever had said, unless it's the 4th or 5th trip, I wouldn't split the trip.
