Is Aquatica worth the money considering Disney World has its own water parks? Depends on what you are looking for.
Tickets to the park are often no more than $50.00 when you take advantage of deals throughout the year. That is a price that Disney can't beat. I will say the parks offer a vastly different approach to guest services.
If you are looking to be treated as a king or a queen, Disney will do just that. If you don't care and just want to have cheaper fun, SeaWorld's Aquatica is a perfect break from your week that won't break your back account and is inviting enough for return visits.
There is plenty of food to be had and treat kiosks around a water park that has big thrill slides and a well-designed kids area for even the littlest ones.
Aquatica is located next door to SeaWorld and it is not easy to miss. For a little more expensive yet all-inclusive and more of a once in a lifetime type experience, check out SeaWorlds Discovery Cove where you will snorkel with tropical fish, sting rays, can add on a live dolphins experience and explore habitats along a slow moving lazy river with deep trenches and shallow ledges.
In addition, Discovery Cover boasts the only park that is all-inclusive from alcoholic beverages to fresh baked chocolate chip cookies! They also provide a full breakfast and lunch at no cost and it is eat until you are satisfied. Tickets can range between $150.00 to almost $300 depending on the time of year and add-ons.
