A'Lure (and questions about other shows)

[rnorwo1]

Hi,
We'll be at SW one or two days during the thanksgiving week (I'm leaning towards Monday the 21st after others' recommendations on this board.) If we can I'd like to get everything done in one day, but can return if we need to. There is a schedule of shows up for that day, and I had a few questions (I'll keep checking it to make sure it doesn't change):

Is A'Lure a show included in general admission? It looks like a Cirque type show, didn't know if it was additional.

The other shows listed for that day are : Blue Horizon, C&S, One Ocean and Pets Ahoy.... are these all of the shows?

Is there a list anywhere, or can someone give me an idea of how long the shows last appx?

Which ones are musts for being there early to get particular seats, or any seats at all?

Are the feedings and other activities that are only offered at certain times listed anywhere on the site, or will we have to wait to get a schedule that day?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm leading 10 people on this vacation and want to at least look like I know what I'm doing!! Thanks!!!!

Yes, A'lure is included in your park ticket.

These are the usual shows shown on a regular basis. Sometimes there is a Sesame Street themed Pets Ahoy show that goes by another name in the mornings; and depending on when you're going, they should be starting the Christmas show lineup sometime after Thanksgiving; I'd assume.

Is there a list anywhere, or can someone give me an idea of how long the shows last appx?
All the shows are apprx 25 minutes long. Pets Ahoy is the shortest which is more around 20 (to me it's even shorter than that).

Which ones are musts for being there early to get particular seats, or any seats at all?
Depends on how busy the park is. If it is crowded; I would recommend being there 30-45 minutes early. (During peak season...like the week of Christmas and New Years) Otherwise, I'd say, if you're okay with not Front and Center be there 15-20 minutes early. Pets Ahoy is inside a theater that only holds about 200-300 people (the stadiums hold 3,000-6,000 people) so Pets Ahoy will close when its full; or as soon as the show starts.

Are the feedings and other activities that are only offered at certain times listed anywhere on the site, or will we have to wait to get a schedule that day?

Generally the Seal/Sealion, Shark and Stingray feedings are open all day until about 5pm (again, if its busy, and they sell all the food for the day, then they will close when the food is gone). The Dolphin feeding times vary each day on how long they're open and when they are; so you'll have to wait until you get there. Most suggest that if you want to do the Dolphin Feeding (which is $7 per person to go into the feeding area and everyone gets food) plan to go to Dolphin Cove as soon as you get to the park, there is usually one first thing in the morning before 10am
