Mobile No Disney (tickets too much) 11 nights Universal

Hi
Really can’t stretch to Disney tickets next year so I’m taking 3 kids on my own 8,10,15 and staying at cabana bay for 11 nights.
I won’t have a car so apart from universal and maybe the SeaWorld 3 park package what else could we do?
Or do u think 11 nights is too much with no Disney and car.
We’re travelling 23rdAugust 2020
Thanks

Depends on you I suppose. Cabana bay has some great facilities onsite, especially for kids. You really only need to fill 9 days as travel days aren't really full days anyway.

Universal, if you get 14 day tickets could easily fill 4 or 5 days, probably more since you don't have express pass. You'd be able to take it easier, leave extremely long lines and come back to that ride etc. I love Universal, for me it fills at least 5 days of the trip regardless of doing Disney or not, YMMV.

Seaworld will fill perhaps another two days, that only leaves a couple of days spare. One for a relaxing pool day perhaps. You could always do a trip to the kennedy space center. I loved my trip last year, and always loved it as a kid. It's a bit of an expense for one day but still a lot cheaper than disney tickets. There are various companies that put trips on.

Citywalk at Universal has some minigolf too, don't forget that, and there is the cinema if you get desperate. I think you'll easily fill 11 days in Orlando even without a car.

Ooh good idea I'd forgotten about volcano bay. Yes, that could fill a day for sure.

Lots of people go on 2 and 3 week holidays without any theme parks. You’ll be fine

If your kids like the pool, then you’ve a big head start on keeping them occupied

We are going onsite at Universal in August for 14 nights, no Disney (done it to death the last 4 years plus my daughter is now 8 and demanding more thrill rides!). Doing Universal, Sea World, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove, with no car either.

Disney will probably have their Halloween parties on then which could be an option. Cheaper than buying a day ticket.
