Things to do over Easter week?

[Kathryn777]

My family has booked a house for Easter week so they can golf. I will not be golfing and staying around with my 3 kids (8,4,2). Is there anything I can take them to do that won't be insanely busy?? We just did Disney so I'm a little Disney'd out, not to mention the crowd would be insane and scares me :-D

If you're interested in visiting SeaWorld during the Easter week, you will get an opportunity to see seasonal shows. Including the new Shamu Night Show called Shamu Celebration: Light Up The Night. The Shamu night show concludes with a fireworks finale.

Anywhere you go in central Florida will be busy and SeaWorld will be busy as well. But not to the extreme that you have encountered at Disney. SeaWorld is a slower relaxed pace and crowds are usually cut down when shows are going on.

If you want to spend some extra money and want to avoid crowds, I would suggest going to Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove has a limit on crowds. I believe only about 1500 people can book a Discovery Cove reservation on ny given day. I haven't been in years, but it seems to be a very popular destination for a lot of people. Maybe some DIS members can give you more info on Discovery Cove. You would also get free tickets to SeaWorld if you go to Discovery Cove.

Is it worth getting the quick queue? Is it warm enough for discovery island at the end of March?

If your family is big on rides, then yes I would consider getting quick queue. But if you are just going by yourself and your young children, then you have to really consider if it's worth it. Your two younger kids probably won't be tall enough to ride the bigger rides which the quick queue is designated for. There are also smaller rides like the Penguin ride which your whole family will be able to do that takes quick queue. Just be aware that wait times will be an hour plus for most rides.

I think it will definitely be warm enough for Discovery Cove at the end of March. It rarely gets cold in Florida during that time of year and on the rare occasion that it does, it will only be cold for like an hour or so in the morning and then it warms up quickly.
