Itinerary to catch everything

[aubriee]

We'll be at Sea World Friday Dec 13th when the park is open until 9pm and I'm still trying to come up with an itinerary that will let us catch all the shows, ride the rides, and take full advantage of the dining plan. We will have quick queu which will help with the rides, but I still can't seem to fit everything in. Help! Also where exactly is the Elmo show and the Sea of Trees?

This is what I have so far, but it still looks like we will miss One Ocean and maybe Clyde and Seamore Pirate. Plus I don't see anytime for us to eat, ride rides, feed the dophins, or see things like the sharks, Antartica, or Wild Artic.. Plus my mom will be on an ECV, so will need handicap seating, if that matters. Is it just not possible to do it all, even with quick queue?

10am-Blue Horizons-Dolphin Theater
11:30am-Pets Ahoy-Seaport Theater
12:15pm Clyde & Seamore Pirate Island--Sea Lion Theater
1:45pm Allure-Nautilus Theater
2pm One Ocean-Shamu Stadium
3pm Elmo--?
5pm Clyde & Seamore Countdown to Christmas--Sea Lion Theater
6pm O Wondrous Night-Nautilus Theater
7pm Shamu Christmas Miracles--Shamu Stadium
7:30pm Sea of Trees--?
8:30pm Winter Wonderland--Bayside Stadium
8:55pm Holiday Reflections--Bayside Stadium

Its tough to do in one day. I had things planned but ended up missing a couple of shows . Sometimes I think its better not to be so on schedule. You also want to enjoy yourself and not be rushing to the next show.

My opinion is too pick shows that are the most important. Pets ahoy is cute but imo can be missed for another show. I believe Elmo is in the pets ahoy theater. I'm sure someone here will know for sure.

Sea of trees can be paired with dinner at spice mill. They do a light show with the trees to music. Its really great. We were outside the restaurant with cake and could see from there.

The dolphin feeding can be done first thing in the morning. The people here were right...it fills up really fast!

Just figure out your priority shows....thete ate a couple of helpful schedulers on here too that I'm sure will comment!

I'm in the same boat aubriee. Trying to fit everything in seems near impossible. I'm the type that doesn't want to miss anything. However, I realize that comes with a price itself - a rushed and anxious day. I realize that's not how I want the day to go. I am going to 'try' to relax and enjoy the day with what we are able to fit in. I think that will make it a much more enjoyable day for all of us. We may not be able to see everything, but the things we do see, we will enjoy to the fullest.

I have a feeling the 13th is going to be a busy day and while I haven't yet purchased my quick queue tickets, that's on my to do list today.

You will probably miss some shows. Mark your priority ones. From my experience, the pet show and I wondrous night are almost impossible to get in unless someone gets in line 30-60 minutes ahead of time. A waste of time IMO. Our family doesn't care for either show so we don't even try. The outside shows are easier to get in to. Since it is Christmas try to see the Christmas themed shows instead because they are limited to the holidays. Also, the Shamu stadium and ice skating are pretty far from the rest of the park so take in to consideration a long walk to get there. I really dislike that bridge walk over there!!!
Also, if you eat at off times the lines will be shorter. Such as eat early lunch and afternoon dinner.
The sea of trees is a light show in the lake. You can view this as you are eating or walking by. Not something we sit and watch for an extended period of time.
Our favorites at this time are the Christmas Shamu show and the Polar Express. The ice show is nice also.

We did this Xmas day. We got that at park opening and left at closing (which I believe was still 9). We only missed polar express. Now ridewise penguins was closed and it was too cold for Atlantis. Also I was with 2 18year olds. We also didn't get out picture taken in the snowglobe. We did the coasters before the shows even started. Also we took time to feed stingrays and hang out with the otters. Sometimes we were super early to a show sometimes we just got there in time. So I'm not sure its 100% doable if you want to do absolutely EVERYTHING
