Shamu Show - 12:30 or 5:30?

[sunny4]

Hello - We are going to Sea World Thursday, Nov. 18. I was planning on a 2:30 Believe show, but I see now that will not be available. Which Shamu show should we see - 12:30 or 5:30? I'd appreciate any thoughts on our plan - here's what it was before. I'd also like to work in Pets Ahoy if possible. Thanks!

9:00 Dolphin feeding and Manatee exhibit
10:00 Blue Horizons dolphin show
Keywest - sting rays, turtles, flamingos
Manta - aquarium only
Dolphin Nursery
Wild Artic (motion or non-motion) and beluga, polar bear, and walrus
lunch - mango joe’s
2:30 Believe (shamu)
shamu’s happy harbour play area
snack
sea garden pictures
shark encounter
4:45 sea lion stadium, show and feeding, pre-show is good too
penguins

Based on your plan I would probably say the 12:30 show, but make sure you hit Wild Arctic before if possible to avoid the crowds as the show lets out.

We were there this past Wednesday and Wild Artic was closed to prepare for The Polar Express, not sure if it will be open when you get there. Anyways we saw the 12:30 show and to be honest I was a little disappointed. The show was really scaled back from when we were there in 2008. I knew about the trainers not being in the water but I guess with the new baby the cannot do the regular show. We were thrilled to see the baby and mommy swmming around and I thought it was so cute how Katina stopped to watch the baby presentation video but the rest of the show was basically the ending of the regular show. Oh well it was still nice and we had a great time.
