time for Sea World?

[mhingher]

We will be in WDW 3/5-3/12. We won't be going in the parks on arrival and departure days, and we have 5 day hoppers. We are planning on going to Universal/IOA one day. How long does it take to get through Sea World? Do we really need a whole day? I was thinking of maybe spending a morning there, since we have free tickets. We are traveling with friends (mid 20's) and my DH is 31. I don't want to lose a while day in the parks...

Just a thought - last year we stayed across the street from SeaWorld at the Renaissance - It was our Discovery Cove Seaworld vacation... wound up doing IOA also.

But here's the thought - Seaworld was virtually empty at night - I have no idea why or if it was just something about the time we went... but you could go there after the sun went down and hop on almost any ride with no lines at all. During the days it was busy...but at night? It was cool ... very relaxed. no crowds...and we were there in June... second week to the beginning of the thrid week, if I recall

So my point is... after a long day of doin the parks... swing by Seaworld... you may be pleasantly surprised - othe rthen that ... given the number of days you are going ...I would not take a full day out of your schedule to make a full day out of Seaworld.

Another thought - given that you are younger folk ... if you hit Seaworld at night when the crowds are low... you can walk on to Kraaken... and it is an AWESOME RIDE !!!!!!!!!!! woohooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I would spend 2 days at Usf/Ioa but......... You can't do all of Seaworld in one day but it is a lovely park so if you have free tickets, decide on the things you definately want to do and see and save the rest for another time. I would check on the hours before deciding to go in the evening, it closed early last time we were there in Jan. I have no idea what the March hours are.

Have fun
