Universal..Show Gap or Express Gap, Seaworld ?s

[welovedis]

Hi-
Haven't been here in quite some time as we've been happily visiting other areas of the country! Our family is looking at visiting FL in late June and we're hoping to get some questions answered about Universal & SeaWorld. I DID read the FAQ section for both & the SeaWorld Accessibility guide but still have a few questions.

• DH is hearing impaired--needs to use an interpreter/captioning or a script for most shows. Also in the mix is our 14 y.o. autistic DS who would NOT be ok with our group of 3 splitting up to wait to get on a ride. If we go to Guest Services would we be better off asking for an Express Pass (if they will give it to us?) or the Show Gap?

• Is the Express Gap similar to the FOTL pass that is given to those that stay at Universal hotels? We have friends who recently when to IOA, stayed on property there & said it was very helpful for a short wait. If that is the case then is it too much to hope that we would get an Express Pass? Not knowing how they handle things at Universal compared to Disney it makes me nervous to know if they do give them out compared to the other type of "waiting room" pass...

• Does SeaWorld offer any type of GAP that we could utilize? I read (skimmed) their accessibility info but didn't see that pointed out? Are lines usually very long for their attractions? DS is ok with a short wait but gets extremely anxious, will loudly proclaim things heard over a loadspeaker over & over again and often gets the point of physical illness (fainting, vomiting) if we don't get him in a "safe" spot. 10-15 minutes is about his max.

We are not planning to visit WDW this trip, just want to try something new & hope we can accomplish to enjoy ourselves exploring some new areas. Any input/advice is greatly appreciated!
