When we arrived at Sea World, we stopped by Guest Services window to inquire about dining reservation. They have no more seats for dinner with Shamu and for lunch at Sharks Underwater Grill we have to book it there directly when they open at 10am. There was already a long line in Manta ride. We bought an express pass for $19.99 for DS. He is the only one interested in riding the roller coasters. He has his own cell phone and he can call us when he is ready to meet us for lunch. We went to sea the sea turtles in the turtle point then proceeded to Stingray Lagoon where the girls were able to pet the sting rays. Then we went to Dolphin Cove. For $7.00 you get a tray to feed the turtle. DD1 wants to do it so we let her while we watch at the viewing area. After that, DS met us and we went to the underwater viewing area to see the Dolphins while DH went to make a reservation for lunch. We didn’t mind staying longer on this place because it was cool. We also went to see the manatee rescue then DS went to ride the Kraken and Journey to Atlantis while we went to Seaport Theater to see Elmo and Abby’s Treasure Hunt. The show was very entertaining. After the show DS met us outside the theater and we went to see the Penguins Encounter. Not only is the place cool to hang out but the exhibit was fascinating. On the way to Shamu Stadium we went to see the aquarium and partly to cool off. The aquarium was interesting. We went to see Believe in Shamu Stadium. The show was amazing. Then we went to lunch and Shark’s Underwater Grill. The food was really good and so is the service. I ordered NY strip and I really loved it. After lunch we stopped by Clydesdale Hamlet to see the horses then we went to see A’Lure…. the Call of the Ocean at the Nautilus Theater. The show was awesome. After the show we went to Shamu’s Happy Harbor and let the girls play and ride the kiddie rides while DS went to Wild Arctic. Then we went to Wild Arctic to meet DS but he was not there yet so we went in and travelled to the Wild Arctic on foot where we saw beluga whales, polar bear and walruses. When we were outside we got a call from DS. He was looking for us back at the Shamu’s Happy Harbor. He ran out of battery from his cell phone and he bought a phone card to call us. A lesson for him: to always charge his phone.J We had enough for the day and decided to go out for dinner. As soon as we left SeaWorld it started to rain. On the way to the restaurant it was really raining hard so we turned around and we went back to our resort and cooked dinner.
