Sea World

[mousetravel]

I asked about this on the Sea World thread, I'm hoping I can get more help from here....I am considering adding the Sea World Buy 3 Get 2 Free deal, to my Disney trip this year. The deal includes length of stay tickets for Sea World and Busch Gardens. So I have a few questions:

1. Is there enough to do in those parks to fill up a week's stay?
2. Do they have a planning DVD (similar to Disney) for the parks?
3. I am considering either the Springhill Suites or Residence Inn. Does anyone
have any experience with either of these?
4. Does anyone know how long the Buy 3 Get 2 Free deal will last?
And if the prices change or stay the same?
5. How are Spring Break crowds, for Sea World? (Is it about the same, less, or more, than Disney? I've been to Disney on Spring Break, so I know about there.)

SeaWorld is really a one day thing=I've done both orlando and San antonio. But it does have a water park too.

Busch Gardens is in tampa-a pretty long drive from orlando

Are you saying its a 5 day deal for those 2 parks? Too long in my opinion

Bush Gardens is a little over an hour from Orlando. In my opinion I would give each, Bush and Sea World, two days so you can enjoy yourself and take your time. We did Busch Gardens the other day and mainly rode the big rides and missed all the shows and animal exhibits. In terms of sea world it can be hard to do in one day with the show times since they are spread out and you have to get to them early and they are longer than rides. Plus a ton of exhibits as well.

If going for a week to Orlando and are not wanting to do Disney there is also the water park, Aquatica and also discover cove and take up a day (though very pricey).

If still want the week and Busch Gardens and Seaworld and run out of time there is also Universal (again more money) and City walk at Universal is fun to walk around the shops and catch dinner.

Also, tons of mini golf in Orlando, plus great outlet malls and there is a medieval dinner show.

You could defiantly spend a week in Orlando...plus if you like SeaWorld and Busch you can always give them extra days to do your favs one more time.


Hope that helps.

I know a;ways in the past that Sea World offered by one day get another free that week of your stay. Just before you leave park you get picture taken on ticket for return. I love Sea World but I think it can be done in a day. Also if you go to Duscovery Cove they give you a free pass to Sea World. I think 5 days is alot.

We just went to SW during Christmas break and were there for 1 1/2 days. We pretty much did everything during that time. We haven't been to BG.

We stayed at Residence Inn Sea World. The breakfast was huge and really nice. The 1 BR suite was plain, but OK. I asked not to be facing the highway and the desk person put me there anyway and told me it was not facing traffic. I was too tired to look at the map and believed her. It was so noisy, I wore earplugs the next night. Since we were there only 2 nights, we chose not to change rooms. BTW, the sofabed is really small. It would only hold 1 adult or two small children. My 13 year slept there. It was too cold to use the pool.

The 5 for 3 deal is really good. I wish we could have had that, but it was not offered during christmas. We did get a deal that included SW tickets.

Seaworld is a one day park in my opinion.
