More questions... Sorry!

[MrsTigger]

I'm just having a look at other parks, we plan to go to Seaworld and Universal.
I would love to go to Discovery Cove but theres no way I can convince my bf into it. I was wondering about Busch gardens tho the Serengeti Safari Tour sounds good- Is it worth a visit? As we wont have a car how would be the best(& cheapest) way to get there?

Also I've been looking at Attraction tickets direct for the tickets- but wondered if anyone could recommend anywhere else to get our non disney tickets from?

Never be sorry to ask questions - that's why we are all here

I'm sure that there is a free shuttle bus that runs from Seaworld to Busch Gardens. You can use this is you have a 2-Park (Seaworld & Busch) or the Flexticket Plus. Here's what I have found about bokking it:

"The shuttle departs from SeaWorld and picks up from various locations along the way. For full details, times and to pre-book your seats on the bus, (reservations are a must!) please call 1-800-221-1339 once in Florida."

If you like rollercoasters then busch gardens is a great day.

Im sure there is a bus leaves from somewhere on I-Drive every morning. it might even be from sea world actually.

Most of the town car companies will take you there and back aswell, although obviously that will be a bit more expensive.

Busch is one of my fave parks, had AP's for last 2 years so been down a few times.
See this thread, shows prices and links to buy SW/Busch and Uni tix http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2164964

Other option is to buy all as one in a Flex ticket, that will also give you the free bus service down to Busch so even though its a more expensive way of buying the tix it might save on transport costs.

We did the Serengeti Safari at Xmas, I think its alot of money for what it is but everyone enjoys it, You go on back of truck give Giraffes a few lettuce leaves drive around to see more animals, then they take you back to see pics they have taken for you to buy.
We have also done Guided adventure tour which includes the Giraffe feeding above, it costs quite a bit more but includes lunch and a guide for about 5-6 hours, front of line for rides and behind the scenes with animals. $95 each but to me worth the extra.

Oh thanks that interesting - I didnt notice that

We do like coasters but I was looking at it more for the animals

Worth a try I guess

Oh fab -I'll take a look, I didnt realise the Flex ticket offered transport too. Its the feeding the Giraffes that is really appealing to me ... thanks for the links.

I can fully understand him not wanting to do the Dolphin interaction. I did it on our 1st visit, it was OK but not worth the money to me. Now the rest of the park, fish lagoon, sting rays, aviary they are all amazing and well worth doing. 2nd visit I still went but opted out of the dolphins.

Some pics of Busch here in my online album http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y236/wayneg1/Busch/

Its something I've always wanted to do but having seen how big they are I think I'd wimp out of doing it on my own. I'm not sure how keen he'd be on doing the other bits either so I doubt it'll be worth the money for us.

Thanks, the pics look great
