Take the bus tour at the SD Zoo first thing in the morning. It will help you get oriented so you can decide where you want to go the rest of the day. The Zoo sits on very hilly terrain, so there is alot of up/down trekking. In some places there are escalators- Use them whenever possible.

Sea World- Get a park guide upon entering and look at the show schedules. In this park, the shows will usually drive your touring plan.

Don't forget to bring water and sunscreen. Sometimes SD can either get really hot or be sunny and breezy. How about hats and shades?
If you plan on getting wet at Sea World, an extra change of clothes would be a good idea unless you like walking around in wet clothes. I can't see why some ppl like doing that. If you want to take a tour or have a dining experience w/ Shamu, etc. I'd suggest to make them in the morning when you first get there or do it online. If not, then relax and enjoy the shows. You can always visit the exhibits later bc they don't close until the park does.
I agree in taking the tour for the zoo in the morning. The majority of the animals are just waking up and it won't be as hot compared to doing it later in the day. If you want to see the pandas, it's also good to see them in the morning bc the lines can get pretty long and they'll usually be eating in the morning instead of seeing them sleep. Using the Skyfari is useful if you want to get from ex. the front of the zoo to the very top. It does cost extra, but if you were going to walk to the far end of the zoo to see the polar bears, it's a long walk uphill! Albert's is also a very good place to eat. It's a sit down restraunt in their "treehouse" area.
Hmmm...I can't think of anything else atm, so I hope that everything works out and have fun!
