| Food |
Sharks Underwater Grill is the most upscale menu in the park (seafood and steak) but is pricey and not included on the All Day Dining Plan.
If you plan to spend the whole day (at least two sit-down meals) at Sea World, the All Day Dining Plan is a good deal. The park has mutliple sit-down restaurants with above-average theme park food that are included in the All Day Dining Plan. Voyagers Smokehouse serves BBQ, Seafare Inn offers fresh carved sandwiches, and Spice Mill has burgers and grilled chicken. |

| Virtual Queue Options |
| Two versions of Busch's Quick Queue are available. Regular Quick Queue gives you one-time front-of-the-line access for Manta, Kraken, Journey to Atlantis, and Wild Arctic. Unlimited Quick Queue is exactly what it says for the same rides. Note: some attractions using Quick Queue restrict you to a particular row of seats. Purchase of either Quick Queue option gets you one complimentary ride on the Paddle Boats and SkyTower. |
| Shows |
| Of course, most people think of Shamu when they hear Sea World. Shamu Rocks is a very popular show, but Believe is another killer-whale show. Blue Horizons is a colorful, Broadway-type spectacular with costumed divers and exotic birds, but the real stars are the dolphins. A'Lure Call of the Ocean is a acrobatic show. If you're up for some lighthearted humor catch Pets Ahoy! or the Clyde and SeaMore Show. |

| TPR Notes |
|
Sea World is no longer just a side trip in Orlando for tourists who love aquatic life.
If you take in all the shows/attractions and enjoy the fabulous food you could easily spend a full day here without even entering their new waterpark.
The addition of Manta should provide adrenaline junkies a companion coaster and a more unique ride experience for locals.
Shamu is still the star attraction at the park, but he has plenty of support from other creatures of the aquatic domain. | |
