Must Do Right Away Attractions.....

[JaydaNicole]

I have been to WDW several times and am aware of the top attractions to hit right at rope drop to avoid long waits, but have no idea about Sea World....can someone help me out? Which attractions would you head to in the first 3-4 hours?

TIA

1) Dolphin feeding: As soon as the park opens at 9:00. There is a 9:30 feeding and its located near the park entrance. Dolphin feeding is very popular so it will get crowded as the day goes on.

2) Manta: This is the first roller coaster you will see as you enter the park. This is a very popular ride so get there early. I would do either Manta then Dolphin feeding or Dolphin feeding then Manta.

3) Any show before Noon. Shows before noon all less crowded than in the afternoon. This goes for all shows. Usually 10:00 Blue Horizons Dolphin show, 10:45 Pets Ahoy, 10:45 Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island and 11:00 Shamu show, One Ocean. (If there is an 11:00 show. Sometimes the first one is noon or later which tends to be packed)

Ditto on the dolphin feeding. Two reason for getting there early: 1) you have to buy a tray of fish ($7) per person and if they run out, that's it. 2) when the dolphins get full and aren't hungry, you won't have much interaction with them.

Manta and Journey to Atlantis developed long lines mid-day when we were there. We didn't feed that dolphins so I can't comment on that. My only other suggestion is that if you have a little one who will want to try out the rides in Shamu's Happy Harbor, then head there shortly before the first Shamu show. We did this and it was practically empty. As soon as the show let out - We then went to the second Shamu show of the day.
