    Default WWYD with a Free Day?

    We're taking a short trip next month - we'll only be in Florida for four full days. We are staying at the Hilton Grand Vacations at Sea World on an RCI exchange. Here is our plan:

    Sat: Sea World

    Sun: Animal Kingdom

    Mon: Pool Day in the AM with a NAP
    MVMVP at night

    Tues: No Idea What to Do!!!!!!!

    What would you do with the last day? Is there somewhere you have to eat or something you can't miss?

    I can't decide between another (free) day at Sea World, Blizzard Beach (for the first time), Epcot, or MGM.........................

    Tough one!

    For what it's worth, I've always found 1 full day at Sea World to be plenty.

    Based on your other options - it really sounds like you can't go wrong!

    I'd likely choose Epcot although it partially depends on the people in your group...

    We'll be at MK from about 4 until they wear out on Monday for the MVMCP. I never really considered another day there but that could be an option, too if we don't get to do all we want on the party night........

    My kids are 6 and 8 and they LOVE Epcot.Why in the world would anyone think it is a major turnoff for kids. In fact, next trip mine want to do 2 days of Epcot and skip Animal Kingdom.
    We think Soarin, Test Track, and Mission Space are fantastic and all of the performers, music and great food of World Showcase is not to be missed. Add to that all of the Kid Craft stations at each country and Illuminations. WOW, we could not and would not want to imagine a trip to WDW without Epcot.
    And mine have never asked for more than one day at MK, we are just so spent after a day there. But after a Day and evening at Epcot we feel happy, relaxed, full of good food and time well spent.
    So count This family with young kids as Epcot devotees!!!

    I have to say Sea World. I know it's very un-Disney of me. But I'm cheap. I would hate to "waste that free day." (I'm guessing you're buying a day and getting the second day free, a promo they are running or you have Busch Gardens plat. passes.)
    I think it is difficult to do all of Sea World in a day, mostly because of the many shows. And they are all very good.
    My kids love it there. They never tire of petting the dolphins and manta rays. And watching the baby dolphins is too cute.
    Atlantis and the Kracken are good thrill rides, too.
    The kids are crazy about the flamingo paddle boats. It is like $6 for 30 minutes. They also have rock climbing and a jumping thing for a reasonable price. All are good for something different on a second day.
    PLUS, THERE IS FREE BEER. Does it get any better?

    Also with a late night at MVMCP, you can sleep in the next morning and not feel guilty about getting to a park.
    If you caught the fireworks on Saturday, I would have a late dinner that night at Wolfgang Puck's or 'Ohana.

    I guess my little kids are a little weird.
    Epcot is their favorite park. We spend 2-3 days out of 10 there. They would take an extra day at Epcot over MK if you asked them. They are 10,7 and 4. Yes, even the 4 year old. I guess it is a good thing there are different parks for us all.

    Anyway...To the OP, I would pick either Sea World or Epcot. If we stayed offsite we would spend more then one day at Sea World. Our family really enjoys it. Don't miss the Odyssea show. It was a huge hit with our family.

    Have a great time!!

    Personally, I'd probably head to the Magic Kingdom but I'm biased as that's my most favorite park!
