Help with Sea World

[dvcnewgirl]

I will be going to Sea World in about 10 days. I am a Disney fanatic (like most of us here). I have not been to SeaWorld since I was a kid and have no idea how to tackle it. I will be with my 5yo DD so no roller coaster ideas are needed. I would love to see a good touring plan or any ideas of what not to miss. This is kind of stressful as I have my own touring plans for all of the WDW parks. But since this is a budget trip and I have passes for SeaWorld and Aquatica I am going to try it. Thanks!!

We love Seaworld.

We go at opening and get the show schedule. Check it out carefully and form a plan. You end up going from show to show if you plan properly. Make sure to have everything you want to see scheduled in.

I'd say also get on the Sae World website, and note the "not to be missed" attractions for your daughter - figure out where those are located in relation to the shows - and hit them as you walk between them.
The manatee viewing area, Dolphin tank, sting ray petting area (stingers removed of course), the kids Shamu coaster, and the huge kids play area were my sons favorites when we went there (he was 7 at the time). Also - the show with the pets- dogs cats and birds- kids thought that was hilarious!

I guess my advise is too late for the OP, but I'll post for posterity sake :tilt:

If you know you can't last a full operating day at Sea World (opening to closing), you may want to choose to start mid-day instead of early morning so you get a sampling of both the daytime shows and the evening shows. My two favorite shows at Sea World are the evening Clyde and Seamore show, Sealions Tonight (where they make fun of all the other shows in the park), and Shamu Rocks, the evening show in Shamu stadium.

And a lesson learned the hard way... don't forget to get your cash and wallet out of your hotel room safe on your Sea World day. We'd gotten so used to charging everything on our room keys at Disney, that we forgot to grab cash and credit cards for Sea World. We had breakfast a Chef Mickey's that morning, and had arranged the town car to pick us up there. By the time we realized what we'd done, it was too late to run back to our resort and get my wallet. After paying the town car, we had $8 total to last us 12 hours in the park. (Thankfully, we already had our park tickets.) What a nightmare that day was! I was so hungry and thirsty by the time we got home!
