SeaWorld Orlando

I lost my cell phone riding the Manta ride. I filled out the online incident report for lost items and was told they wouldn't be doing a sweep until after hours, which is understandable. Luckily, my family uses Life360 and I was able to see exactly where my phone was, which was inside the gated area of the ride. And again, lucky that it appeared to still be functional. I thought by including the screenshot of the location it would easily and quickly be found. I did not hear anything from Sea World the next day regarding my lost item. My husband and I decided to go to the park the following day, 1.5 hours before it opened. There happened to be 2 maintenance personnel, Charlie and Wilberg, in one of the blocked off parking booths to enter the parking lot. I explained to them what happened, and showed them the location of my phone. They could have easily told me to wait until the incident report was investigated. Instead, Charlie found out who was working the Manta ride that day, was able to talk to that person (Glen) and guide him to the area of my phone. When Glen couldn't immediately locate it Charlie and Wilberg went over there to assist. After about 45 minutes I ended up leaving the park with my phone!! Charlie and Glen crawled through brush and sand and was able to locate my phone. I will forever be grateful for Charlie, Glen, and Wilberg at Sea World Orlando and the extra mile they went through to retrieve an item that is lost numerous times a day by visitors.

It went well. No real complaints. Since the last time I visited a lot has changed. More rides. Amazing food options. Full bar as well. Maybe it was the time of year but it was not very full and had no more than 25 min wait times.

All of the shows were very entertaining.

I had a great time!

Sea world is a fun park for a nice mix of marine life and roller coasters.
The park has had to increase rates like most parks. They also have tried to monetize everything in the park accept the bathrooms.
I hesitate to say that. Wouldn't want to give them any ideas...
The food is typical park food. A really bad cheeseburger, fries and a coke is 25...
That's fine but they could at least give you real cheese and not melted velveeta...
We went to see an old school classic rock band. It's part of the death rattle of rock and roll I guess. This place and Disney are the kiss of death for any real rock band.
I am here though... lol
Parking is now 30. They offer some pretty good deals for Florida residents. You can get a whole year in the park at a good price if you look for promotions.
This park has gotten more busy as it attracts people who can't afford Disney...
They do a food fest promotion. Most of the food is very bad though.
Try to eat before you go and after you leave if possible...
Fun park. Over priced for what you get...
Typical

Great Kool & The Gang concert!!
Adorable venue!!!

Great staff guiding you along!!
I loved the girls working at the orca pools. Very educational . Everything they shared was a thrill.
I didn't know what to expect but it made a huge impression on me.
I'm grateful they care so much about what they do.
I never thought I would ever see any of these in my lifetime.
I loved it. Walruses were wonderful, orca , beluga whale.... Etc. I loved my time here.

Wonderful place. We went at the busiest time (Xmas) but it never felt overcrowded.

The shows are fun. The exhibits are great!
We had so much fun!

Came today to use my AP free Seven Seas Food Festival sample.
Tried the smoked lamb rib at the Polynesian Market. The rib had good flavor but the one I ate had lots of fat. The slaw did not have a lot of flavor.

I've been coming to SeaWorld for years because it's relatively inexpensive compared to the other parks. Honestly, with all the monthly perks they give you, it's worth the price to be a passholder. Sometimes I come with my friends that have kids and I would say that if you have a young child, the Sesame Street land is where it is at!

Despite the public backlash, they do take really good care of their animals. I love doing the behind the scenes tours and visiting the animals on other days. Recently, there is a new baby penguin! They have also scaled back on animal shows and focused on adding more rides to the park. They have two newer rollercoasters that I have yet to try (Pipeline and Ice Breaker).

I typically attend for their food and drink festivals (think discount Epcot Food and Wine). It's honestly a good deal when you get the lanyard- I would never by a sample at full price. However, last time my group and I were there, over two days of visiting in December- the booths were out of many items. Even simple items like soup or hot cocoa! It was hard to use my lanyard up on items I wanted.

Overall, this park tends to be less busy and easier to navigate than others. Just know that it may be worth the visit but the quality of service does makes sense why it's affordable.

Seaworld is fun for like one day. We've had annual passes twice... in 2006 and again in 2021. In 2006 we went three times and in 2021 we went twice. I'm going to remember in the future not to buy Seaworld annual passes again. I do think it's great to go once every few years or maybe once every 5-10 years (LOL), but I'm just not into aquatic animals all that much and it's not something I want to do on a regular basis.

What is cool:

The penguins. I could sit for hours and just watch the penguins. I love them! One of these blue moons I'm actually going to do the Penguin encounter (which isn't all that expensive). It's on my bucket list.

The dolphin show.

The whale show.

The shark aquarium

The stingrays

They baby dolphins nursery

The coasters are truly awesome!

What is not-so cool:

Most of the food in the Park is not all that great.

Most of the employees have frowns and seem to hate their jobs.

The park is often dirty. Lots of trash on the ground.

It's incredibly easy to buy a refillable cup, but nearly impossible to find a place to refill it throughout the day. When you do find a place for a refill it's usually a really, really long wait.

As for snacks, most "huts" are closed and there's a good 20+ plus wait in line just to get popcorn, churro, etc. Ridiculous.

I find myself more annoyed when I'm here than having fun.

If you're visiting Orlando, you may want to skip Seaworld unless you are just obsessed with aquatic animals.

Wheelchair friendly and service dog friendly.

I do recommend coming here but just be aware that there is no cash. You do have to use cards or apple/google pay. If you're going to be here for a long time I do suggest to get a souvenir cup for free refills. But I wish they would do cut off times for rainy days so you're not wasting your money and only get a two hour stay. They have a lot of different things to do. The little kids definitely will have a good time in Sesame Street. Beware of rental prices for strollers. They are the most ridiculous prices I have ever seen at a park. Make sure to buy that $20 stroller from Walmart, because here it's almost $60!

We went there on Saturday with the Family for my granddaughter to have her birthday. Went to customer service and waited forever to get any response. They didn't fix the issue with the passes but they did get us in. There was no employees for any information did you get. When we went to eat, the table was very dirty and the highchair my granddaughter had food in it. When I asked the employee to clean it out, he said the spray and the wipes are right there sea world has gone downhill so fast
