How many days for seaworld, Busch gardens and aquatica

[Clarksk]

Hi,

Just planning our first family trip to Orlando. Kids are aged 9, 11, and 13. How many days would you recommend for Seaworld, BG and Aquatica please? Trying to decide between a 14 day unlimited pass including parking at £105: or one day in each park including all day dining at £146. Much appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

Hi l. Welcome to the Dibb. So exciting booking your first trip !

Are you planning on doing any other parks and how long are you going for.
We bought the Seaworld parks ticket last year but we did no other parks. We went to Seaworld and Aquatica twice and Busch Gardens once. We had Seaworld and Busch dining deal and thought it was worth it for us. Food not amazing but nice to not carry bags and be able to get drinks whenever we wanted them.

I think people’s idea of how many days in each would depend on length of holiday and other tickets.

Thanks ever so much for the lovely welcome. We have 14 days in total so hoping to do universal too, hopefully with a 14 day pass. I was just trying to squeeze the seaworld parks in too as they look AMAZING! Thanks so much for your help

Do you know if we can upgrade to annual passes or 14 days tickets when we get there, if we need more time there? We’re going on 1st April 2019 and just worried that the queues may be too busy that we can’t complete the parks in one day.

Each time we have visited Seaworld has been fairly quiet as was Busch Gardens last October, barely queued at all. Aquatica last October was empty ! I would say for a 2 week holiday with other park tickets one day in each of the Seaworld parks you would manage to do everything as long as you are there ready for opening.

We went to Busch Gardens last Saturday and did a fair bit in one day but we didn't have kids and I'd say its aimed more at kids as they had a sesame street area which was pretty cool for kids with a bit to do.
Make sure you have something to eat if you're going when it's opening as the food places don't open for another hour or two.
I'd say busch Gardens and seaworld would be one day experiences going off my past times there

SW and BG are 2 of our favourite parks. No visit to Orlando is comlete without going for us. We can easily spend 2 days in SW and have done 3 before.

BG has some really good coasters and some nice shows. Personally I love the park and we usually end up going twice per trip. I would go more if it wasn't for the drive. THe drive is fine once or twice a trip but it gets a bit much any more than that.

Aquatica is pretty good too. It depends what other tickets you have and how many "down" days you are looking at. We tend to got to the waterparks as a rest day so can go quite a few times as we usually go for 3 weeks at a time and my wife tires easily.
