Jew - I think you are right about the premium for under 25 but there is more to the story than besides the age - I said too much. Honestly, everyone has been very helpful on a very difficult problem. When we get down there, we will complain to Busch about not having transportation available as they do from Sea World to Busch Gardens. I assume that the Gardens will say there are not enough takers to justify a shuttle. Again, thanks.

Hmmm, actually, it is Wasilla, AK, the home of the next President of the US. It was 10 today. The emails are forwarded through a friend.

SharkTums - Thanks - Renting a car is not workable because our age under 25. The shuttle for hire as far I notice keeps coming up with a shuttle for 10 minimum persons - flat fee for one way only. I looks like Shamu will not have us for dinner. Again, Thanks,

Themeparkman25 - THANKS i KNOW ALREADY ABOUT THE BUS FROM SEA WORLD TO TAMPA - NOTHING NEW! I am sorry to say there are not a lot of theme park travelers out there who plan their Florida trips other than the usual Orlando as the base of operations and using public or bus transportation. Yes, as I said before Orlando is great place for getting around but if one starts in Tampa and tries to take a side trip for day to Orlando that is another story. I think it is more a Florida tourist problem and not being friendly to out of state visitors. Orlando is the Mouse's town and the Mouse rules. We are dealing with time constraints and limited bag of coins to max out our adventure to Florida from the cold north. So far, it looks like Sea World is not workable because of the time and transportation issue. I read about the Orlando Flex Plan for 6 parks and 14 days use, it does not include Disney theme parks. Again, thanks everyone for trying. I will have to go the old people's and family vacation planning website to see if they have some answers. If I knew German or other European language, the European vacation planning websites may have ran into a question as mine but since I just read English I am stuck with what I see so far. I will check in to see if anyone discovered the answer to my question. I have to pack my bags and arrange for a ride to the airport. My word of advise - DO NOT Start your Florida theme park trip in Tampa. I am committed because we want to hit the beach before heading to the big swamp of Mouse's land. Also, I have to say to all of you - enjoy the thrill of those high, steep, twisting, and feet dangling roller coasters.

Not for Sale - Thanks but it does not work from Busch to Sea World. Mears does not pickup Busch Garden customers and take them to Sea World. I confirmed this with Mears transportation because they are not licensed to do so in the Tampa area. I saw the Busch Shuttle before on the Busch website. Honestly, I agree that if you start in Orlando at Sea World to Bushc Gardens, it is a great deal in Mears air conditiioned bathroom equipped buses Since we are starting our visit in Tampa before going to Orlando the following weekend we thought that we could squeeze in Sea World on the same weekend as Busch Gardens. The halloween events are on the weekends only and not during the week. Again, thanks, NOT FOR SALE.

SharkTums - Touche. But still hanging and hoping so far. We want to max out the halloween events in the theme parks in Florida. We have done the LA area theme parks already least year. The Florida theme parks have more land to roam about. We found some nice friends out there who helped us getting around by using public transportation. Also we have called Sea World and we did not get a good answer and we called Mears transportation in Orlando which does the Sea World to Busch Gardens run. Mears cannot pickup Busch park customers to take them to Sea World. Mears (Mickey's Ears) transportation does the whole Orlando area parks and runs transportation within Disney. Again, we have to look to out of state friends who may have encountered this and solved the the problem we are having. We are starting our park adventures in Tampa because Tampa area has one of the best beaches in the country - Fort De Soto near the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Also we like to meet some sting/devil rays hiding in the sand near the beach. I may be a first timer but there has to be someone who know something on this forum or I may have to look at another forum for answers.

Does anyone out there know if there is transportation between Busch Gardens in Tampa to Sea World in Orlando? Sea World offers free transportation from Sea World to Busch and back. According to Sea World this is no transportation available starting at Busch. The Orlando visitors have precedence over the Tampa visitors. I wll continue to drink my purple kool-aid and stay off the bong. I assume the local tribe of roller coaster fans have no idea what is out there for out of state visitors who want to enjoy what the locals have enjoyed for years. It will be our first trip to Florida from the outer fringe of our beautiful country. There is the usual problem of dealing with local yocals. I wonder if there are other informed visitors who tried to make the trip from the Busch Gardens to Sea World. We can't rent a car because we are under 25 years old. We need some way to get to Orlando for the day after visiting Busch. The following week we will do Universal and Disney. We are just trying to have memorable trip. If the uninformed can't help, well, then, we will blow off Sea World. Thanks for ar least commenting on my diatribe and I was just having fun but you are too serious of crowd to deal with. Again, thanks to those who replied.

I see that I can get a ride from Orlando to Busch Garden but I do not see a ride going the other way from Busch Gardens to Sea world. I do not want to rock on my rocker choes to slip out of Busch to swim in Sea World. So all of you wizards from many kngdoms. I need to see the light to accomplish the journey from the animal dump pile to the killer whale tank. All four of my wheels are flat so I have no choice but to travel among friends from other galaxies in a massive container ship. Is there a container ship available? So whip out your wizard wands and point the way. Thanks and looking forward to fish breath..
