Seaworld w/ a 2 year old - Advice Please

[labst60]

Hello everyone,

We will be visiting Orlando May 16-25 and be staying at WDW (Dolphin & BWV). Our group will be me (who will be 5months pregnant), DH and DD(26months). We plan on spending one full or possibly two partial days at Seaworld. We have been to WDW about 5 times in the past 4 years and love it, but this year we have the Super Grover Passports from Sesame Place, so admission to Seaworld would be free and our daughter loves animals and particularly fish.

Can anyone suggest any "don't miss" attractions for our family? Obviously, with her being so young and me being pregnant, all of the rides are out. :-( Do you think there is enough there that would be appropriate for our family to plan 2 days (not necesarily open - close).

We love the Disney character meals - is the Shamu meal equally well done and worth the time/expense?

Any other advice would be appreciated - thanks!

Hi can't help on the shamu dining but plenty of people say its very good, as must dos all the shows are good, u can feed the dolphins, stingrays, and the sea lions although watch out for the sea gulls as they try and steal the fish, the Clyde and Seamore show is very good and the mime who preforms about 15mins before start of main show is very funny, they also have a full kids playarea which is very good incl a shamu kiddie coaster

Two days may be too much (we're always done everything we want to see at SW around 7pm -- we get there at open). But, it depends on the pace you want to take. If you want it to take 2 days, simply spread the shows out. Be aware that there is a lot of walking at SW and that many of the shows are outdoors, so if you go on a hot day, be warned that there is a lack of air conditioning.

That being said, I think SW is great for a 2 year old (although I'm getting bashed for saying that on another thread on this board)!
