seaworld dining - how long

[sanapp]

I am working on a touring plan for SeaWorld on 10/17 (spooktacular day). I figured that it would be busier than normal and should have a pretty good plan to get everything in that we want to do. I am wondering how long does a meal normally take at SeaWorld? I think we will be eating at Seafire Inn and the Spice Mill (all day dining) and I believe that these are both cafeteria style serving. I was planning to eat lunch at 11:00 and dinner aroung 4:15, so they would be at off times and planning for around 45 minutes. Is this enough time or do we need more? Youngest child is 7 and the other 12, so they don't need any assistance.... What do you think

You are dining during off peak times so there should not be a wait. I have been too Sea World over 20 times over the years and I have never been very impressed with the food. If you do not have high expectations you will not be disappointed. The worst food was the polynesian luau. The food was uneatable.

Yes I have actually been to SeaWorld a few times before as well, but have never tried doing it with an actual touring plan which is what I am trying this time. I have already created my plan based on the show times for the shows that we want to see. I was alloting about 45 mintues to eat. If it will be a slow off peak time then it shouldn't be any problem. I agree that the food at SeaWorld is less then stellar, but it serves its purpose. This is my first trip where I will be attempting to eat as close to gluten free as possible, so it will be a challenge for me. Oh Well!
