Amazing ride photography Andrew, you took the viewers all the way on your adventure. It was topped off with a professional, well deserved and entertaining rant at Busch Gardens. It’s a shame it cost you so much but your advice may help others prioritise attraction visits. Well done to you both and enjoy the rest of your holiday.

As a family (3 teenagers) who seek the thrill bush gardens is their go to park! We buy the 3 park tickets which includes free parking, lockers and discount on food! Just for the benefit of those it’s worth it even if you don’t use the sea world pass. It’s 100pp so saved instantly. We don’t do Disney, as we can only travel school holidays it was far too busy for us. We spent all day queuing for 2 rides, 3 hrs was one que 😅 I bought the kids Micky mouse ice creams and spent $35!!! I love watching vlogs and hearing others opinions, it’s so interesting to hear what each person seeks from Florida. Great vlogs though Andrew and Laura 😃

Great vlog - hope the cat is ok 🙏. We did Busch Gardens back in 2015 and weren’t overly impressed especially considering the travel time etc. operations certainly left a little to be desired. Not sure if you considered a day at Discovery Cove? But you can add a 2-park (SeaWorld & Aquatica) or 3-park (SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens) to the Discovery Cove ticket. You get 14 days admission to the other parks, for not much more than a standard Discovery Cove day ticket! I know Steph and Jim rave about this feature and wouldn’t do SeaWorld without the day at DC! Anyway keep up the great work and love seeing your Florida series 😎👍 Dan

Really good VLOG. Your experience of Busch Gardens reminds us so much of our last visit to Seaworld - both Merlin owned. Poor staff morale, poor standards and reduced customer experience. We’ve not been back to Seaworld for 10 years. We really like Tim’s vlogs but he knows the parks inside out and is often invited to media events. You’ve shown a real insight to the Busch/Seaworld customer experience. As for the school kids…. The parks know when the schools are coming. They just need to post on the website ‘Welcome to [] School’. We all then know that out-of-control kids are going to be at the parks. Where are the teachers? Anyway, great stuff and keep striding!

We have been Busch Gardens many times and usually loved it, but last time few weeks ago was bad. So many rides was closed, bad service, food was horrible, hamburgers totally cold etc. Really worse day at there. I made complain and we also got new tickets, but i told that we don’t want to drive back there from Kissimmee again, so they change tickets to Sea World. Didn’t had time to go Sea World, but tickets are valid for two years so we can use those next time. 30$ parking is also so overpriced! Clearwater beach is awesome! We were at St. Pete Beach this time. It’s also great and traffic was much better than Clearwater.

We haven’t done Busch Gardens that often as we don’t overly rate it. Sadly Seaworld has also gone downhill over the years which is a shame. So at $250 with parking for a one day ticket for both of you it isn’t worth that much (£200), but for £149 each you could buy a 14 day 3 park ticket (seaworld, Busch and Aquatica) with free parking at all 3 parks (Floridatix). The boat trip looked good and was very reasonable at $27 each👍.

I wasnt lol, must have been someone elses or Lauras

Shame about the day you had at Busch Gardens, we have had a similar experience with the school kids, it was at 2-3 when they went home we seemed to have the whole park for ourselves. My darling wife Danielle, from your native city used her scouse temper with some of the kids and actually went out of the line to find two teachers and gave them a piece of her mind. We did the same went to guest relations and they then gave us quick queue. Kids will be kids but the adults seem to disappear when they get into the park. What I will say though there was one group of school kids who asked every time would we mind if they joined their friends and of course when they are polite we let them go to their friends. Just a quick note to to say I have spent all jubilee watching your vlogs, great channel.

@@TheKnightStrider hopefully you get to use the free tickets and get a better day next time

We did Busch gardens for 1st time in July 2019 having never visited on previous Orlando visits. Storms came and we ended going home Busch gardens gave us our tickets, fp , and all day dining voucher to be used with in the year and we where lucky to go week later and it was so much better. Thank goodness as it would have ran out due to covid and uk/USA border restrictions. We did sea screamer it was good but only seen one dolphin and wouldn't have been one of my highlights but clearwater is beautiful I want to visit the marina maybe in fall when we are visiting.
