Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Stacey: We've never been to Busch Gardens but they are the same owners as Sea World so I would think they may have the same discount and pass, but you're better off calling.

We stopped in at guest service and got fast passes (for free) for the five of us (myself, my husband and the three kids) after explaining that one of our children is autistic and explained why lines were not a good idea. Many lines were less than five minutes and it wasn't an issue, but towards noon and later, it was, so this helped immensely.They also put a note on his account, so next time we go up we just have to check in at guest services and they will run his pass and it will all be there (so no explaining or whatnot).We had a great time. I don't think there is as much for kids to do at Universal as there is in the Disney parks, but that is my personal opinion. My kids are 3, 5 and 7 (almost 6 & 8) and while we spent lots of time in Seussland and in ToonLagoon area, there just isn't as much they are interested in outside of that. There is stuff, just not as much as Disney. I suspect we'll be Disney bound once our Universal passes run out - of course, we did Universal this year because we were kind of Disney'd out. Can't win either way I guess!Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Depending on the staff at Busch Gardens it can be ok. Their guest assistance pass does not work like any of the other parks. With their pass, you go to the entrance of each ride and they give you a ticket to come back in the same time frame as the wait in line. So if others are waiting, 15 mins, so do you, if others wait 90 mins, so do you. The only good thing is that you do not need to wait in line and can walk around the park. But good luck explaining to a child that even though the ride is right there they need to wait and come back in an hour. My son does not get it, so we will only go there on a Wed near no holidays and when kids are in school. > What about Busch Gardens?
