Universal, Sea World and Aquatica?

[squirrel]

Since I like to vacation for 2 weeks, I think the 14 day Orlando Flex Ticket is the best deal.

I was thinking of breaking up our trip and staying at RPR for US/IOA and then moving to another hotel for Sea World, Aquatica and possibly Bush Gardens.

I have never been to IOA, Aquatica or Bush Gardens. How many days would you suggest for Aquatica and Bush Gardens to see them without being to rushed?

Anyone know the park hours for September for Aquatica or Bush Gardens? I found this years hours for US/IOA. Any suggestions on where to stay for the second part of our trip?

You can easily do Busch Gardens in one day and the same with Aquatica. We have spent 2 days on previous trips at Seaworld although you could probably squeeze it all in one day. Have fun. For park hours, check the individual websites....I'm sure they have September hrs posted by now.

For your accommodations, I would stay at one of the official partner hotels of Seaworld, found here:

The free Quick Queue at SeaWorld for onsite guests is worth it in itself!

If you are going at a hot time of year, plan two days for Aquatica.....while you can do it all in a full day, it will be nice to return for a second day to help beat the heat. For SeaWorld, definitely two days so you can take in every show, ride, aquarium and animal feeding without feeling rushed.

I agree with Gina regarding Aquatica. We are a waterpark family for sure, and I can easily spend 4 hours in Roa's Rapids, so it might take more than a day. If you just hit the main attractions and jet, one day is enough. I would also highly recommend the cabanas in Roa's Rapids if you are using it for a chill day! We have been to every major park in Orlando (along with Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio), and Aquatica is my kids' favorite park of them all, so we always pack on extra time there.
