Is 6-7 Hours Enough at SW?

[dozermusic]

When I go in September, the park is only open 9-6 and I don't think I will be able to get there before 11AM.
I think the people I am with will not want to go on the rides, so for the shows and exhibits, would this be enough time, or will I likely have to skip some of them?

Also, because of the amount of time, I am trying to decide between buying tickets online for $65 or at the gate for $60 with Southwest Rapid Rewards. I was thinking for the small amount of money I save it may be too big of a time waster. Or is there usually no lines to buy tickets and very quick?

Thanks for the help.

You might not be able to schedule in all the shows, but you would have time to enjoy the park.

Crowds won't be as large in September so probably won't take too long to get in. I think the lines are longest between 9 and 10.

If we only might miss 1 or 2 shows, that will be alright. I was just afraid of missing half of them or more.

I figure any day is a good one if you make it to Clyde, Believe, and Blue Horizon. Any other shows are frosting on the cake. Pets Ahoy would be my next choice. Wild Arctic, shark Encounter aren't really shows but next on the list. I also have to go to underwater viewing of the dolphins to see if any are blowing rings and playing with them. Find that to be the most amazing behavior.
