Universal or Sea World???

DH and i are doing a trip to disney...we are doing all 4 disney parks

magic kingdom
epcot
hollywood studios (or whatever its called)
animal kingdom

we want to add one more park (i think adding 2 more would be too much) so which should we add?? Universal or sea world??

also, i can get discount tickets for sea world for 65 dollars, Universal is 80 bucks each. Which to us, is a lot more.

we are not huge ride people (DH hates rollercoasters...but he would love all the movie themed rides in universal)...although not sure if we will want to necessarily go there if we are doing hollywood studios in Disney. what do you think???

Universal!!! If you love thrill rides you may need two days there.

ETA: We combined Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios into one day so you may be able to do the same and do Sea World as well.

I love sea world, but if I had to choose- I would go with Universal- there is more to do there- and especially if you are not ride people- they have more shows and other fun attractions

If it were me, I'd do universal! Their rides look more fun than a lot of the other parks.

That is true, and actually something that DH had mentioned. Maybe we WILL do universal after all.

Well they're two completely different parks...
Do you guys like going to zoos and watching shows with animals and things like that? If so, then you should definitely do Sea World. Especially since you get discount tickets.
I absolutely LOVE Sea World just because I love marine life and animal shows and things of that nature. Universal is fun. It's similar to Hollywood Studios, just on a larger scale.
I grew up in Florida so I've been to both of these parks about 100 times each (a bit of an exaggeration but I've been to both a lot) so send me FM if you have any questions... Chat Icon

Re: Universal or Sea World???

Universal is 2 parks so do you mean Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure?

Universal is a relaxing day, good movie based rides and shows. Islands of Adventure as adorable but has a lot of roller coasters. Their water ride area is fabulous though if you are going at a super hot time.

Sea World is theme parked aquarium. Lots of fun with a bunch of rides and attractions.

If you wanted my vote of the 2 I'd go with Universal. BUT as a write in vote I'd suggest Discovery Cove and swim with the dolphins! Its an AMAZING day and very relaxing experience!
