going to SeaWorld

[djbleach]

My 2 year old daughter , her Nana, and I are planning on going to SeaWorld on the 20th of this month. I see where a SW rapid rewards member can get 20% off on tickets. This will work better than the florida resident deal, which her Nana could get by living there.
We will plan on getting there when the park opens and spend proabably half the day. It all depends on the little one and how she feels. She usually gets a nap somewhere after 12.?
I'm hoping that a 2 year old will enjoy SeaWorld. I've read that people said their young kids really enjoyed it, so I'll give It a try. Anybody have any suggestions on some things that will be a must? I've been , but it's been a long time. I remember the Shamu show, and thats about It. Thanks for any help.

She'll like looking at the animals, even if she doesn't remember it years from now.
There's a big play area behind Shamu stadium. There's a ball crawl, and a few things where the kids can get wet. Bring a change of cloths.
Your idea of arrving early, and then leaving around noon is what I tell everyone all the time. Kids get cranky after beng up that long. They don't understand what the place is, or how much money you spent to come. The kid will probably fall asleep at noon.
At that time, you could push the stroller thru a few more exhibits, and then get something to eat. But the lines for the food places get huge at noon. If you want food, try to get it at 11:30am.
The Nana could watch the kid in the ball crawl area while you go off to ride Kracken and JTA. Kids can spend hours in there.
