Eating at Seaworld

[debkorb1]

Just like to know - is there Priority Seating at Sea World like Disney and if so, how far in advance would you recommend booking? I am going to be ther 5th July so I guess its going to be very busy.

Most of the places to eat are counter service, so those obviously do not take reservations. I know you reserve Dine with Shamu and the Luau in advance. They probably take reservations for the Sharks Underwater Grill as well. Don't know for sure on that one. But the majority of the places are high quality counter service.

The counter service food is higher quality, but if you can get reservations somewhere, esp. for the middle of the day, I'd advise you to do so. I am guessing that July 5 will be pretty crowded, but ask others more familiar with the park. We went prior to Easter and the set up for counter service is very poor for handling crowds. Everyone went through the same lines. The Wood Fired Grill (can't remember the exact name) was the worst. If kids want different items, you have to go through all these different stations. The long waits for any type of food was my only complaint about SW. I counted 32 people in one line for sodas at one of those carts. DH tried to buy ice cream several times but we didn't want to sacrifice 20 - 30minutes standing on line for that. We've been to DW during Easter and never saw anything close to the mess for food at SW.

The trick at SWF is to get there early. First area of the park opens at 08:45, national anthem plays at 09:00am and you're off. Do Kraken, JTA, the dolphin show, Clyde and Seamore, and then eat lunch at 11am.
That's the key, most are still watching a show or just arriving. By the time you actually get your food and sit down, it's 11:30am. At noon, everyone realizes they're hungry and heads to the restaurants. You will already be eating.
It's kinda weird to do it, because, you're not really hungry, so you have to look at your watch, realize it's 11am, and head somewhere.

The name of the wood oven pizza place is called Voyagers. It's located near the sky tower. It's my favorite, and yes, it gets packed in the afternoon.

Robvia hit it right on the head, eat early, and at off times in the day. Plus add to the fact that SW has alot more shows than rides and that most of SW's restaurants are located near their show stadiums, so when a show lets out you have alot more people in one space at one time, than at the other theme parks. My personal fav is the Smokey Creek Grill.

Smokey Creek Grill is still our favorite, too. Even with the 2 lines to get food, you have to plan on standing in line a while to get your food, but it worth it. I like eating outside except for cold December days or hot, hot Sept. days. I keep saying I will contact Sea World about setting up a better way to line people up for that spot. The lines get so long they sometimes block the sidewalk for people trying to get by. We try to eat at off times so we can just sit and relax after eating without taking up space needed for diners.
