One day trip to Sea World San Diego Dec 11

[yeahdisney]

DH and I drove in from Las Vegas. We arrived 11:30, park opened at 11. We bought the 3 day advance ticket. I grabbed a show time schedule. Only one shamu day show, saw that, then had lunch with Shamu. Good food for a park, but no one was watching the dishes for the buffet and several were empty and guest had to find an employee and ask for them to be refilled.

The park was not busy. Rides were less than 5 minute wait. Anyone who wanted could stay at the touch pools. The Santa area was super busy, I forgot. And one adult had a hissy fit, loudly announcing he was a season ticket holder and his family not being able to get a time for Santa at 5:30pm for the rest of the night (park closed 7:30) was UNACCEPTABLE and he was going to management. And his person with him agreed and stomped off too. The CM stood with mouth a gap.

We did everything we wanted by 6:30 pm. I found about a product called Sea Bands that help fight motion sickness, I tried them for this park and no motion sickness on the ride Manta. Used them for Disneyland the next day, no sickness there either.

Sounds like you had a good time. We enjoyed SW at Christmas a few years ago. It's a much smaller park than it's sister in Orlando, and we enjoy the decorations they do there as well. Great way to hit 2 fun parks for a road trip. Thanks for posting your thoughts on your trip.
