I hope this is the right spot. I need feedback on our possible plans for our non-WDW trip.
Some background:
We (me, DH, DS 8 and DS 6) are doing a Disney Cruise Dec 28 -Jan 2. Arriving at MCO at 10:00 am on Dec 27. Departing early morning Jan 5.
Here's our potential plan:
Dec 27: land at MCO 10:00 am Check in at MCO Hyatt. Take taxi to Seaworld and spend the day there. More interested in the shows than rides - rides seem similar to what we have here at Marineland and we never do those rides.
Jan 2: disembark ship and return to Orlando area by about 10:00 am (hopefully). Go to Legoland for the day. Leave Legoland after we've done it all and check in at Universal on site hotel (TBD)
Jan 3 and 4: two full days at US/IOA, utilizing FOTL as we will stay on site.
I am concerned about not arriving at Seaworld/Legoland until later in the morning and managing crowds. Legoland is essential for us as the boys are Lego fanatics. Seaworld is optional, but it looks like a nice spot during the holidays. we did WDW during the same time of year last year, and arriving at RD was essential to minimizing our wait time.
We have never been to these parks and don't know what to expect. Are there any experienced visitors who can give me some feedback?
Many thanks!
