Seaworld Weekend Crowds end of October?

[jenhelgren]

I am trying to plan out days for late October and we have never been to SeaWorld. Is there a big difference between weekday/weekend crowds in late October? We will be arriving in Orlando Friday 10/28 in the evening. I wanted to plan SeaWorld for Saturday and Sunday and plan on booking a hotel that offers Quick Que passes. If the crowds are much heavier I was thinking we could find something else to do that weekend and wait until Monday for SeaWorld but I'm not sure what to expect late October. Halloween is that Monday if that will affect anything differently.

just giving your thread a bit of a bump so others will be able to read and help you out.

SeaWorld's Halloween Spooktacular events run on weekends from October 1st to 30th:

I would suspect that may increase crowds somewhat on Saturdays and Sundays versus weekday visits.

We have gone to Sea World on weekends for the free trick or treating (DD is 10) for the past 5 years now. It is always VERY crowded on the weekends. We normally arrive at the park around noon and there have been times that they are parking in the over flow lot across the street.

Is the increased attendance felt mainly in the extra Halloween offerings or do normally scheduled shows and rides have a huge increase in wait times?

The kids area and the shows do show an increase in wait times, sometimes almost doubling the normal wait times. The roller coasters not so much.
