SW crowds & stress vs. WDW??

[JJsmama]

Is Sea World as crowded and stressful as WDW? We'd like to go March 6-10 and we could go to Sea World mid week. Dh was really turned off by Disney's crowds, lines and it stressed him out. Is Sea World easier to enjoy leisurely?

Our family likes SeaWorld a lot! I'm sure it gets crowded, but we have never seen it as bad as WDW, except for around the big shows (Shamu) at show time.

We were there in November. No crowds,saw the entire park(all shows,attractions and rides) and did Dine with Shamu before 6:00. It was the best experience we've had in Orlando-no pressure to go commando!

IMO, Seaworld has a much more relaxed atmosphere. There is just so much to do at WDW, we always felt like "okay, let's go to the next (ride/attraction) before everyone elso does". At SW, you don't have the same mad dash. Most of the attractions are shows or exhibits, so there is not the same issue of long lines. If you want to do the few rides there, I would try to do them first thing in the morning, then spend the rest of the day relaxing. The only thing I think could be stressful is if you try to fit in all the shows in one day. If it were me, I would take the free day they give you and you can see and do everything you want at a nice leisurely pace.

I too, find it a much more relaxed atmosphere and have never found the crowds anywhere as near as bad as some of the other parks.

Thanks. It's so nice to hear that it should not be chaos there. We will have time to go two days to SW, so it is a good suggestion that we don't try and do all shows in one day.

Only 3 more days now til we go.

Have a great trip! If you have kids, don't miss Pets Ahoy! My kids liked it best of all the shows!
