Hey Guys.


Ok so we planned a very last minute vacation. My accommodations are fine and I won't need those and we have a car.

Originally we were trying to do Disney and UA. But it got very expensive quick.

So since we went to Disney in November..we decided lets just do Ua and I can throw Seaworld in there. I went in November..shhh. hahaha. It's one of my favorite parks.


So they have a lot of ticket options. I am considering the Flex ticket so everything is taken care of..but then I saw the Seaworld and busch gardens ticket..and that might be fun too..

My most economical option might be to purchase all separately? But there are so many ticket choices. I was thinking I could get the 2 day plus a day at UA .That will run me $874.

So what do you think is the best Seaworld ticket option is? How can i keep my costs as low as possible. If BG is in there..that wouldn't be horrible. I have never been.


I think it would be wise to add the all day dining into sea world. That would make my husband feel better like he was saving money...if it's worth it. I think the water alone will be enough to pay for itself. Does this the more sit down type of restaurants?


I am also thinking quick queue..just because it isn't horrible. We have to just bear the lines at UA because ep is so expensive.

What do you all think??
 
I don't know if you realize it or not that Busch Gardens is in Tampa and you will have about a 2 hour drive to get to it!!:confused3
 
I do...we originally were going to head to St pete beach on vacation and do the busch garden thing... I don't have to add it..just an idea.


Im kind of wondering if the fleet ticket is a better option. Do you all think you save with this kind of ticket?

Basically we will be there for a week. Maybe I will be ok with just UA and sea world?
 
Seaworld has a play and dine offer for $95 per adult. One day non-discounted admission + free all day dining.

One-day weekday tickets (admission only, no dining) can be purchased online in advance of your visit for $65.

What about a day at Discovery Cove? A day resort admission for November is $179 for most dates. That would give you a day at DC (which includes all your food and drinks for that day), plus unlimited admission to both SeaWorld and Aquatica for 14 days (which is more than you need). I think adding on Busch Gardens is an additional $22 pp.
 

thanks Gina!!

Was it you that said the Seaworld dining plan was a good one? Is it all quick serve or are there a few good places to be able to sit inside? Do you need a reservation?

I have switched this vacation so many times..all the numbers are running around my head and I can't remember what is what.

I had a place to stay but my daughter has been sick for so long, we weren't sure we would be able to go. I didn't want that person to get stuck so told them to rent to someone else.

Yep, we love the SW all day dining. Its all "quick service" but not just burgers and pizza (though that's available too). We've had fish and chips, chicken fettuccini alfredo, barbecued chicken and ribs, wraps, etc. In the hot weather, we can drink our plan value alone. There are various places to sit inside, such as SeaFire Inn, Voyageurs and the Spice Mill.

I am sorry to hear about your daughter. Here's hoping her health improves soon!
 
All Day Dining rocks. But , so does Busch Gardens.
Really - you can't go wrong.
