…for the foreseeable future, at any rate. Our passes expire on Friday, and we ended up going three times this year. For FL residents, the year pass costs the same as a one day ticket, so we definitely got a bargain. Maria didn’t feel well, so Timon stayed home with her and Henry and I enjoyed my favorite theme park day of all time. The weather was gorgeous, the crowds were very manageable, and we had a great day.
Henry got to meet Shamu…
…and be surrounded by an aquarium full of fish!
We got to see the baby killer whale again, now a few months old. They named him Brian. Doesn’t that seem weird? Brian. Brian the KILLER WHALE. Huh.
We saw this gorgeous
…and these beautiful (and very terrifying) jellyfish.
Henry got to ride the Polar Express…
…and tell Santa all his Christmas dreams.
We saw some hungry and persistent seals…
…and Henry got to meet the stars of the dophin-whale-acrobat-high dive-birds-extravaganza. I LOVE seeing this show. It’s like Cirque du Soleil or something.
We saw some really lovely Christmas trees, as well as an outdoor light and music show with the trees on the lake.
Before we left, Henry got to enjoy some snoap (snow made from soap bubbles)!
Oh, and I was there, too. The whole time. Don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll show you.
Here are some things I observed during our time there:
- They make maternity wetsuits. Either that, or those things are really stretchy. Poor trainer at the dolphin-whale extravaganza was squeezed into one so that she could toss fish at the obedient dolphins. It was adorable.
- Even if the salesman holds it so the writing is backwards, more than one
idiotperson will still drop $25 on a “Sea World Christmas Celebration – Where The Season Meets The Sea” fleece blanket. - season passes are really awesome – you don’t feel rushed to see it all in one go, because you can get back to the park another time. Henry and I saw things we hadn’t seen the other times we were there, but we still had time to see our favorite shows, go on a ride, meet Santa, and much more in the 7 hours we had that day.
- We did Sea World instead of the zoo this year (the zoo is much closer). I am glad we took a year off from the zoo, but I’m REALLY looking forward to going back. We hope to go on Sunday afternoon – I’ve missed my siamang gibbons!

I love Sea World. I really missed Sea World at Christmas this year.
That looks amazing! I wish we could have gone with you :) I love the trees on the lake, and I especially love the way Henry was looking at you in that one picture! So glad you had a good time :)
