Sea World Newby

[Canadian Disney Fan]

This September will be my first visit since I was 8 to sea world. It's my boyfriends first trip to WDW but the day he's looking forward to the most is Sea World. Being the planner, I want to make this day special for him and have some sort of idea of what to expect, but don't know where to even begin . So on with the questions:

1) We are going on Thursday September 4, is this a good day to visit? What should we expect crowd wise?

2) When should we do the thrill rides, do the lines for these build quickly in the morning?

3) What are the must do's of the park?

4) Do most people go with a touring plan or just go with the flow? (I heard Sea World has a more relaxed pace than WDW)

5) Is it true they give away free beer? If so how do we get in on that!?!?!?

Thanks in advance.

Being the planner, I want to make this day special for him and have some sort of idea of what to expect, but don't know where to even begin . So on with the questions:

1) We are going on Thursday September 4, is this a good day to visit? What should we expect crowd wise?

By sept, the kids in Fla are back in schools, so the crowd should be pretty easier than a typical summer day. Weather should be present but still can be hot. After summer Sea World might be closing earlier, so check their hr in their website and plan accordingly.

2) When should we do the thrill rides, do the lines for these build quickly in the morning?

Early morning is good. But if you miss it, your best chances of shorter lines, are when the big shows are going, ie Believe, Blue Horizon or the sea lions.

3) What are the must do's of the park?
In our opinion, Clyde and Seymore, Believe, Blue Horizon, Kraken, Journey to Atlantis...the other shows are good too.

4) Do most people go with a touring plan or just go with the flow? (I heard Sea World has a more relaxed pace than WDW)

It is more relaxing, but since you have only one day, I would plan. Pick up a map at the entrance and check the times for the show and plan accordingly.

5) Is it true they give away free beer? If so how do we get in on that!?!?!?
Yes, they do, officially 2 cups per customer.

Thanks in advance.

See response above...it is my opinion....whatever it is worth...hope you enjoy.
