SeaWorld bus to Busch Gardens

[wdwpins]

I know that SeaWorld offers free bus transportation to and from Busch Gardens. Is that courtesy for all SeaWorld guests? I'm a passholder to both parks. I drive from the Cape Canaveral area to SeaWorld but would prefer to take the SW bus to BG, if possible. Thanks.

You could ride the bus for free because you have the 2 park pass. We have thought of doing it too. We hate driving 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours home at night after a long day in the park. My husband refuses to stay in hotel over on that side of the state<GRRRRR>
The main drawback that we see.....
The bus doesn't get there for park opening and leaves before the park closes so it doesn't give you the hours needed to do most of the park and to eat a leisurely lunch.
We usually end up only going to BG a few times and SW many ,many times a year.

I agree that the only big drawback is the time. The last few times we've gone to Busch, those hours after opening were total gravy...pretty much NO lines. You lose that with the bus.

I just found out that the bus is only from SW to BG roundtrip & not available BG to SW roundtrip. That doesn't help me because I will be staying in Tampa. I wish they had both.

Most people are visiting from Orlando...

I still had to pay 10$ per person to get on the bus and we've got four park 2yr pass.

We visited in the off season and didn't have to wait long to get on anything. Hoped on a few big coasters with like 15min wait times. So if it's during the summer with the late closing, then driving might be the best. But during the winter/spring, you'd probably do ok to take the bus.

Thanks to all for your help.

I'm a bit confused, though. One person says the bus is free. Another says it's $10. I'm a 2-park passport member (silver).

I don't mind driving, but sometimes I'd just rather leave it to someone else, sit back and enjoy the ride. SeaWorld is 45 miles from my home but Busch Gardens is 120, more than double the time.

Thanks for the info. I am going to Tampa next week, so it looks like driving will be best so we can stay until late closing.
I am not sure why you had to pay $10 per person. My ticket says "Please enjoy unlimited free coach trips from Orlando to Busch Gardens." I bought the SW & BG Length of Stay Ticket.
