Up early today, normal breakfast at the foodcourt then off to Seaworld. First stop Mantra for DH and I worked out our plan of attack so that we could fit all the shows in. We stopped off to see the dolphins but they weren't coming anywhere near the wall, they had changed this area since our last visit, if you buy fish to feed you are in a separate area to those who don't buy fish, it wasn't feeding time for a while yet so we go to see the gators and manatees and then went into the pet show.
We did a lap of the park to check out the menu options, I had chicken stirfry and DH got Chicken Parmagana. Next up was the Shamu show, we noticed all the girls now had their hair in buns, it wasn't as good now the trainers don't get in the water with them.
We looked in at the sharks on the way to Journey to Atlantis, we both got wet but not soaked. We went back to the dolphins and paid for some fish, it was $7 each! We did get some really good interaction with the dolphins though. Seaworld had run out of soap to wash your hands after handling the fish, a few people were very annoyed by this. Next up a look at the stingrays.
I get some dippen dots to eat while DH goes to ride mantra again but as he gets there they stop running it because of some problem so we just have a sit while I eat my dippin dots. We went over to the Dolphin show next, we were surprised the girls in this show did not have their hair tied up. We went into the Penguin encounter then onto the sealions before going into the sealion show. The mime as always was great.
We went into the shark encounter then to the stingrays again before trying the dolphins again but they didn't want to play so we went back into the baby dolphin bit again which we stopped in at some point earlier before heading out of the park.
Back at the room I did some more packing then it was off to the Cali Grill. We got seated over on the far side away from the castle. We get some free Champagne again. To start I have flatbread, DH gets ravioli. He then has pork and I have beef tenderloin. For dessert DH lemon cheesecake and I get the chocolate cake. I have a cosmo and its the strongest i've ever had.
We go outside to watch hallow-wishes. Back at our hotel I pack a few more bits and we watch TV, a programme called Blue Blood, then the news.

Lovely day in SeaWorld, that SeaLion show has been going for years, I think that could do with updating
