when to go where???

Hi everyone,
I also posted this on the orlando hotels and attractions board but thought I may get a better response here....

DBF and I are planning our first trip to Universal Studios Orlando for September of this year. While we're there we are also going to Busch Gardens for two days, and Seaworld for at least one day, possibly two. We'll be there September 9-19th, giving us two weekends and one full week.

My question is this...I know that Busch Gardens and Sea World attract a lot of locals. When is the best day of the week to visit these two parks so that we can avoid the most crowds possible. We're staying on site at Universal so I figure it'd be best to plan Sea World and Busch Garden days, then fit the rest of our days for Universal/IOA around that.

If we have extra time we might try and go to Aquatica as well.

Thank you very much for your help on this!!!

From what I have noticed, Monday and Tuesdays seem to be the least crowded days. Obviously, weekends are going to be the most crowded. Even still, you probably won't notice much of a difference between Monday and Tuesdays compared to Wednesday and Thursdays.

For Busch Gardens, you are quite correct, for locals its a easy and fun place to go! You are going during a not-so-busy time, so any day Monday-Thursday would be your best bet. I'd lean towards Monday and Tuesday though, but as the pp posted, you won't notice much a difference.

With the exception of Saturday, you should be fine any day you choose to go to the parks. That time of the year is traditionally a slower time of year for the parks because school begins for kids around the country. So you could have a low attendance day pretty much any day but Saturday.
