Lots of Seaworld questions.....

Have not been to this park since 1992
what is the best way to get there from the Poly? I am not real interested in taking the local bus Lynk, I think is the name. I want to get there early and leave when I want to. I will have DH and DD who will be 2yr at the time. Also, will I have seen most of everything and not feel guility leaving the park around 2 or 3?

Thanks

I'd take Mears. They pick you up at yuor hotel, and then pick you up at the park at a pre-arranged time. It's about $17 per person R/T. As for leaving early, that's up to you. I could spend (and usually do) the entire day at Seaworld, but a 2 year-old is going to need a nap at some time. Tha animal shows are quite fantastic

I think leaving at 2 or 3 is a bit early but with a 2 year old you may have to, I'd push it as long as I could. Sea World is a wonderful park and very different from Disney. we usually arrive around 10 or so and stay until 4 or 5. By then we've seen at least one show, all of the animal exhibits as well as the rides at Shamu's Happy Harbor. We just love Sea World. Hope you have a good time too!

We were there a couple weeks ago. We had a rental car, so we could come and go as we pleased. We got there right at park opening (9 AM) and had pretty much seen everything by 2:30 PM. There were just one or two shows that we missed.

We had a similar experience to Marnie. We got there at park opening, having driven over in our rental car and were done by about 3.30.

Mears also has a taxi service. I would double check the prices and go from there. You can find the number on-line and get both shuttle and taxi information from the same number
Good Luck and have fun; we love SW

With renting a car or taxi, you can leave when your ready rather than a pre-arranged time which you may not be ready to leave by, or want to leave earlier depending on what you want to do. This option allows fro more flexibility, not being tied to a schedule.
I find I could spend the entire day, and night at Sea World, so usually split Sea World into 2 days. There are so many shows, and the way they are timed makes it difficult to see them in 1 visit. I esp enjoy the evening shows, which are different from the day shows.

I found Sea World to be very spread out..alot of walking involved, especially getting over to Shamu Stadium. I used Quicksilver for ground transportation to/from my Disney resort and booked it about a month in advance and was happy with them (their rates were comparable to Mears..maybe a little less). Our favorite show was the Seymour and Clyde show (seal and walrus show) and my son was picked to be part of the act which was funny.

Seymour & Clyde is my fav too! And the Mime pre-show is pretty funny. I love the evening show too, Sea Lions Tonight.
