Charter buses to SeaWorld Orlando
SeaWorld Orlando's 2025–26 field-trip packet directs buses to the Bus & Taxi area for unloading only until 11:30 a.m., then to complimentary coach parking in Turtle Lot across from Bus Parking. Dispatch should carry that packet and map. Match the movement to group check-in, current chaperone policy, accessibility needs, allowed materials, and a supervised end-of-day roll call.
