Could you possibly let me know what may-june time would be like, will def have a look at upcoming oct and january.

The touringplans only goes up to Dec 09 at the moment - and tbh seeing as it is a paid subscription, probably not fair on them to start posting details of their research. If it is your first visit I would recommend getting the book anyway, it will help you a lot with planning (in my experience anyway)

Personally, we love Seaworld. I can understand the comments about the treatment of the Orca's but Seaworld has much more to see than the Shamu show. I have to admit I was a bit wary the first time we went, but thorougly enjoyed our day there. Our youngest son loves the penguins and the polar bear and I have to admit to being one of the people with a tear in their eye during Believe.
A tip I heard for keeping children occupied on the plane was to have a bag with small treats, like sticker books, colouring in books and pencils, small jigsaw puzzles etc from £1 shop and give them one every hour or so

We go in June every year, there are no crowds and it is very hot, however expect the odd VERY heavy rain shower!

Thanks for all the opinion's good and not so good regarding Seaworld certainly got me thinking.

I haven't got my currency yet and wondered if the clever people on here can recommend where the best place to exchange cash, ie Post Office, Travel Agent, or Bank to get best rate / no commission etc.

Does experience suggest travel cheques or cash or a mix?
All advice is gratefully appreciated.

Take a mix, but take more travellers cheques as these can be used in all the shops, resturants and parks (you do not need to 'cash them in' as you do in other countries)

Just had a quick look at the Crowd Calendar on www.touringplans.com and they seem to think that Sep & October will be pretty quiet this year, so i would guess it will be the same next year, depending on holidays. (they were pretty accurate for our trip in April).

It is a subscription site, but if you buy the Unofficial Guide to Disney, you get a free subscription for a year (which is what I got). I found the book pretty good, but it is very indepth (800 pages or something)

I got the book but can't find the free subscription bit yet - can you point me in the right direction please?:o

OOPS, JUST FOUND OUT HOW IT WORKS!
