Touring Plan Help

[thr33boys]

Wondering if anyone could offer advice on a touring plan for my family. I initially was planning on going to SeaWorld on a 9-6 day but recently decided to switch it up and go on a 9-9 (Fri Dec 13) park day to take advantage of the Xmas festivities.

There are 5 of us - 2 adults and 3 kids (9,6,4). My 9 year meets the 54" height requirement, do they offer any type of child swap program? We will get the meal plan and am considering the reserved seating for the Xmas shows (unless someone comes along and says it's a waste) and we will NOT have Quick Queue.

Is this too much to get done in one day?

Manta
Kraken
Sky Tower
Antarctica
Polar Express
Blue Horizons
Clyde & Seamore
One Ocean
Pets Ahoy
A'Lure
O Wondrous Night
Shamu Christmas miracles
C & S Countdown to Christmas
Sea of Trees
Holiday Reflections

What would you cut or suggest that we skip and what are the must see/do? Does the Polar Express ride run throughout the day or only at night? My only concern is I don't know how many shows my 4 year old will sit through.

Thanks!

Even for my family we have AP and when we went for the christmas shows we skipped the regular shows and did other things and still missed one xmas show. It is a lot for one day. If you can go another time of yr and see SW I wouldn't try to see the regular shows. The polar express does run all day.

Since you mentioned the reserved seating for the holiday shows and you really want to see the other shows I would go for it to be able to ensure seeing the holiday ones.
