I've never been to SW and not sure what to do first or what the main attractions are...what would you recommend to do first or in what order?:wave:

[Redkop]

i love sea world...........go to the shamu show........see the hillarious clyde and seamore show, feed the dolphins........touch sting rays........see sharks close up in shark encounter......see the manatees (my fav)........and then ride kraken and journey to atlantis.........try the free Bud in the hospitality tents and have your pic taken with the clydesdales.........sorry i really like going here for the 1st day click here for more info (http://www.wdisneyw.co.uk/seaw.html) and offical site (http://www.4adventure.com/seaworld/fla/default.aspx)

Redkop,
Thanks, that sounds great!!! There sounds like there is a lot to do there....do you recommend to do this park first?? Before IOA and WDW??:bounce:

[madmilkman]

Following Red's advice we are going to Seaworld the first full day in Florida - not been before, but keen to see what is on offer, especially the dolphins & manatees.

SW is a much more relaxing park than others more shows etc than rides we use it as a semi rest day:ears:

[Beanhead]

highlander447,
So it is is a good idea to do inbetween Disney and IOA??

So where do you reccomend to eat there??:wave:

[essexeeyore]

My recommendation, if they still have them that is, is head for a gift shop and buy a Sea World umbrella. Far easier to use than the blue poncho's, and you'll be the envy of all the shoppers of your home town when you walk around the shops on a rainy day :mexwave:

[Beanhead]

that's a good tip.....so you get really wet watching the shows??:bounce:

[highlander447]

Yeah I would say do it between the big parks SW is not small just very diffrent that the other theme parks the clyde & seamore show is very funny:ears:

Beanhead - I absolutely love SW too - we went 3 times last holiday:bounce:
I loved feeding the dolphins and sealions. I absolutely loved the Shamu show - you only get wet if you sit in the first few rows or, if you are chosed to take part in the show. The dolphin shows were terrific too - they are very entertaining. The Clyde and Seamore show is hilarious and will have you laughing without a doubt.
You can go and watch the sharks and other sea creatures in a tunnel with them swimming over your head. In Wild Arstic, you can watch Walrus, Polar Bears and Beluga Whales.
There are rides for you to go on too - oh, loads of stuff.:)

Beanhead - I posted some photos on this site under the Trip Reports a few days ago - there are quite a few from Seaworld.

You will have a blast:clap:

[Beanhead]

Isafari,
Thanks very much, I will check them out right now...if you had to pick, what is your favorite activity at SW?:wave:

[Isafari]

That is a really hard question as there really are loads of great things - probably the Shamu Shows. But then again, I am changing my mind already...........it is so hard to choose.:)

[Beanhead]

I won't make you pick...is there a resturant you can recommend or somewhere to grab a snack that is neat??:wave:

Are your pictures listed as a family name...which date are they from??

[Redkop]

hi beanhead, just got in from work, but yeah some people like to do Sea World before WDW or Universal as it breaks the legs in for the walking you will have to do in theme parks........we did this on our 2nd day and the kids loved it..........we grabbed a nice sandwich at the back of the park were the clydesdales are, it was nice and relaxing........they have opened the new waterfront with lots of new shops and restaurants,,,,,,,i am sure joanne did a report on it int he trip section if you have a look there

[Isafari]

Beanhead - they are under Trip Reports, then Isafari's photos - there I have links to all of the parks we visited - Seaworld being one of them

[Beanhead]

did you see the hilarious mime act pre show at clyde and seamore(sealion & otter show) he is sooooooooo funny

Hi Beanhead go to the show as soon as they will let you in you have to see this mime act he is so funny worth the entrance fee alone

mike

[Beanhead]

ukwdwnut, will do...sounds funny, is that your favorite in SW?:wave:

[ukwdwnut]

out of all the pre shows yes its my favourite, on our first visit in 2000 i videoed everything as we did not know if we would be coming back(we did SW as the first park)on returning home i re-booked the villa the next week, thats how impressed we were with the holiday. anyway getting back to the topic in hand, when i watched the show on our return all you could here throughout the show was me laughing at this mime act, the same as the shamu show when everything upto the first 14 rows and slightly beyond got absoluely soaked and i mean soaked. its also freezing cold sea water aswell, after the people at the front got drenched they all legged it to safer climes , why i dont know as they could'nt get any wetter. we sat right at the back best view to video plus could not get wet either as we had been warned by my uncle previously before we left. you've got to go see you will not regret it

mike

[Beanhead]

ukwdwnut, that sounds soooooo neat. I see it on TV with shamu splashing the crowd and people petting shamu and I just can't wait to go!! I love whales and dolphins they are so smart! I wouldn't care to get wet...bring it on!!
It's hard to wait for May to come....I want to go now...chatting to everyone just makes you more excited I find!!:bounce:
