At this point I am deciding on whether I should get a 5day pass to UN/I.O.V/city walk or the 14day consective which includes seasworld and bauch park.

I am not sure if seaworld is worth seeing as I have seen seaworld here in australia on the Gold Coast and was thinking that it was problery the same or very similar.

Do you think I should get te 5 day pass plus a single ticket to beauch park or the 14 day pass for all 4 parks.

I am more of a rides person if that helps. Rollercoasters look out....woooosh. and thats why I am going to BEach park plus it will only cost $5US to get there which is so cheap.

seaworld in orlando doesnt have much but its worth it depending on your own view. you could get it all sone in 2 days but what you wanna do is up to you.

must admit we love seaworld..........its a good park to star in so you get your legs going or a great way to take time out of the disney parks.........the seamore and clyde show is great........journey to atlantis is a great ride and the kraken looks really scary...........i would go cause you are there and might not get back for several years

Seaworld is a lovely park and the animal exhibits are very interesting. I am new to the park, as I received an AP as a Christmas gift and have only been there a few times since. I truly enjoy feeding the dolphins and the seals and sea lions. The shows are pretty neat, some better than others. The polar bear exhibit was a little disturbing, some pathological behavior going on and that always gives me pause, but otherwise this is a park well worth visiting. However, if you have a SW near you that you've visited, you may not find this one too interesting. Kracken gets rave reviews for being the only floorless coaster in the area (not so sure why that is important, but hey, I'm not a coaster person).

Busch Gardens is the park I would skip if I were looking for ways to reduce itinerary. You did say you like coasters thought and that would be the only reason I would ever set foot in that park again. The $5 bus fare to Tampa is a really good deal, but the ride is tedious. Bring something to amuse yourself with on the bus, and snacks too.

Enjoy your stay and have a wonderful time!

I would include Sea World on any trip I make.

Universal will occupy you for three days, four at a stretch so Sea World can fit in. Also if you have never been to Kennedy Space Centre I would consider going there.

I love Sea World. I've been to 3 different ones in the US. I don't know what the one in Australia is like, but all three here are slightly different.

Seaworld is awesome! We visited twice on a recent trip, I felt that I didn't get to see enough the first time. The park seems to have something for everyone and if you can get to the dolphins at feeding time, it is well worth it.

Just came back from Orlando. Visited Sea World while I was there. Loads of tourists. It rained the whole time we were there, so we got second day tickets (that have to be used within 7 days of issue). Never got back the next day because it was still raining.
Park I would definately recommend visiting is Typhoon Lagoon. Awesome park!
Will say that if you really want to experience "Disney" you'll need at least 2 weeks of time to see everything, and LOTS of $$$.
Food is very expensive, and not to mention gas/lodging. Thank God for transportation from area hotels!!

You dont like the ride on I-4 thru Osceola and Polk counties? :D I used to hate driving there.

I had never been to Seaworld until we got passes from going to Discovery Cove, and I would totally go back again! I'm not sure if you would want to visit more than one time during the trip though. My family and I got everything done in one day. I'm a coaster lover and I had a great time on Kraken and we got to go on it three times in a row because there weren't any other people lined up!

I am in a place that I have Sea World near me too..also Disneyland..and honestly it never crossed my mind to go to Sea World in Florida..I mean i have it at home..what I do not have is Epcot, Animal Kingdom, MGM (ok so we have DCA now but I still havent been), and even the MK is different than Disneyland here in parts...here In California we also have Universal...so that didnt really interest me either when i was in Fla..I honestly would spend all 2 weeks at WDW..but then I go a little overboard when i have Disney on my mind..
