Going to Sea World on 1/1/15

[kgcarlso1]

Looking for suggestions/advice - crowds? Best food spots? Should we get the Quick Que? Shows? Family of 4, older kids (DS19, DD 14). We are big roller coaster family so anxious for the rides!
Thanks for any suggestions!

Crowds should be low.

Food locations all depends on what you like. Some of my favorites is Expedition Café in Antarctica. Has foods from Asia, America and Italy. If you want BBQ Voyagers is amazing. If you are able to spend some extra money go out and do Dine with Shamu for an incredible behind the scenes experience. Food is delicious and served buffet style. Then you get a special session with the trainers showing how and why they do what they do.

I would say no to quick queue. I wouldn't expect much of a crowd on New Years Day.

Not to miss shows would be One Ocean and Blue Horizons and Pets Ahoy is very cute too. If you love animals see what times the animals are appearing in the Sea Garden area. See some unique animals that have been rescued and hear some remarkable stories and how they care for them. Spend time feeding the animals. Especially the dolphins. Its a unique experience.

Krakan and Manta are not to miss coasters. You will love them

Hope this helps. Have a fantastic time

We have been there four times on New Year's Day, and have been amazed at how dead it is there. As I recall all the Christmas stuff is done.

I'm going 1/3 and doing "hope for the best but prepare for the worst" I booked a 1 night package to get preferred show seating and single trip quick queue at Seaworld and Busch Gardens. The package I booked isn't available at Seaworld any more but is at Busch Gardens minus the show seating. The price of the package was very reasonable for 1 night at Coco Key. I'm saving quite a big over buying everything individually.
