Sea World around Easter

[decker96]

We are thinking of going to Sea World for a day when we go down to visit my grandparents near Lakeland over spring break. Our kids will be 7, 4 and 18 months. We will probably be there the Monday after Easter (Mar. 28) if we go nad we will be driving from Lakeland. What do you think the crowds will be like? Neither DH or I have ever been to Sea World (obviously our kids haven't either).
Thanks for any help!!

The time around Easter is one of the busiest times of the year at SeaWorld (and at all of the attractions in Orlando). Monday will make it a little less crazy than it would be on Saturday, but I would suggest planning to buy tickets ahead of time (you can buy them on the internet now) so you don't have to stand in the very long ticket lines, and try to get there early so that you can enjoy the park before everyone gets there. I also would suggest while in the park, try to get to shows a bit early (so they don't reach capacity before you get there).

Lakeland isn't too bad a drive, but the area around Disney on I-4 is likely to be pretty congested because of how busy it is this time of year.

We'll definitely buy our tickets beforehand. It's also cheaper that way, isn't it? I figured it would be crowded, we just don't want to go if it's gridlock! LOL! Getting there early will be no problem, our kids are early risers.
Thanks so much for the info!
