Me again - wondering whether to go or not?
Last time we went the bus didn't get there til after 11...felt like it was a bit late..
We have read some posts where people have said they got the bus from SW and got to BG about 10.20. Just wondering if this is def the case as if we could get there for that time think we would go for it :wavey:
Thanks everyone

Think we arrived around 10ish when we went last July. Didnt go on the bus though.
Had a good day out, some of the big rides had longish lines but only 2 of our party do the big coasters so we did something else while we waited for then to fulfill their adrenilin rush.
I prefer the animals part of BG to AK TBH, its not Disney but after MK MGM and EPCOT its nice to go see some animals without all the Disney surroundings. One of my favourite areas was the Hippo pool.

We got the bus from Sea World, it was supposed to leave at 9am, but it was nearer 9.10 and we still got to the park before 10.30, I was surprised actually how quick the journey was. We did the giraffe feeding which was great! :d:

We got on the 9:00am bus at Seaworld but we made sure we got on a pretty full one, it had come from farther up I drive. this way it couldn't make anymore stops and we were there just after park opening.
I would just book on the earliest bus available and wouldn't miss BGs for the world .. IMO it is THE best park in Florida :spin: and was my favourite befor I dreamt of braving roller coasters!
If I could only do 1 park on my visit then BGs would be that park

We got the coach from SW in December at 9.15 and got there about 10.15, but it's not worth the trip. We were very disappointed with the park, nothing for my three year old and some of the big rides were closed or broken down. Long way to go to be bored silly all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love this park and go every year. We get on the bus at Seaworld at 9am and we are there around 10.20. We leave at 6pm. We normally go the first week of September. We hope to do the Giraffe safari this year as it looks a lot of fun.

Loved it. Did feeding the giraffe's and watched whilst the keeper fed the lions with giant ice pops.Will be doing 2 days there this year.
DEFINATLEY GIVE IT A GO !!!
We are looking to do 2 days there as staying on the Gulf coast for the third week of our holiday. That new Jungala area looks good.
Bus from Seaworld was very efficient. Had a great day, but missed the big rides as DS too short! However, we still had a fab time. Would have gone back for a second day, but ran out of time. We loved BG and would deffinately go again. PS you get free beer!!

We went on the bus, it was about 11.30 before we arrived and he wanted to leave at 5. We didn't have enough time in the park. We havn't been back again, and dont think we will.
We did it for the first time recently and we enjoyed it much more than we thought. Bus left Seaworld just after 9 and arrived around 10.20. The bus didn't leave to return until 7pm. We thought that was going to be too long but we just took our time and it worked out perfectly.
