While it's true that two of SeaWorld Orlando's long-standing festivals (Bands, Brew, & BBQ and Viva Latina) have merged into a new, much larger "Seven Seas Food Festival", a few remnants of what once was, still remain. The immensely popular Viva Latina Festival at SeaWorld is (more or less) still going strong and is now attached to the tail end of the Seven Seas Festival. The "featured food theme" area that began as BBQ, has been swapped out with food favorites taking inspiration from Latin American ... ( read more ... )

There are just so many flavors to experience at the SevenSeas Food Festival at SeaWorld that we decided to take another walk around the Marketplace loop and try some new dishes. While it is true that some of the marketplace kiosk are open daily (for Spring Break) from March 17th, 2017 until April 16th, 2017… ALL of the booths are only open on Saturdays (until May 13th, 2017). There's no doubt that the Food & Brew Sampling Lanyard is the way to go here, for just $40 you'll get a lanyard ... ( read more ... )

I went to a great little food and beer pairing event last year at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort called Jake's Beer Dinner. Having the opportunity to go to quite a few of the "theme park resort" special events over the course of a year, I found Jake's Beer Dinner to be not only a lot of fun, but a really great value when compared to Disney Resort-based special events. Check out my full review of Jake's Beer Dinner or peruse the photo gallery for the event. They (whomever) have not always done a great ... ( read more ... )

We heard about this "everyday" Seven Seas Food Festival news in a SeaWorld Passholder email about a week ago, but specific information was a little sparse at that time. We now have a bit more clarification from SeaWorld on just what part of the popular food event will be going on "everyday". The SeaWorld Orlando Seven Seas Food Festival has been running on Saturdays only (and it still is), but from March 17th until April 16th, 2017 (i.e. the peak "Spring Break" period) four of the Food Booths from the ...

Additional dates have JUST been added to the popular "Celebration at the Top - Savor, Sip and Sparkle" event that takes place in the California Grill on select Sundays… from now until September 2017! As far as we know pricing is still set at $99 per adult (plus tax and gratuity, which makes the final cost $123.26 per person). Those new dates are available by calling 407-WDW-DINE (407) or 939-3463. The online booking system has not yet been updated with the new dates, but should be in a couple of ... ( read more ... )

I have to say, I'm having a lot of fun on my Saturday food walks at SeaWorld's Seven Seas Food Festival. The weather has been great so far, and it's been fairly easy finding a table and/or chair (i.e. a place to "be" with your food and beverage sample), just to sit for a few seconds and enjoy the food and company. I've actually run into a few long-time Disney passholders and DVC members on my Saturday strolls at SeaWorld and there has been at least one unanimous sentiment that runs through our brief ...

Wow... in the spirit of pop-up dining, there's a new pop-up fireworks party in town. For a select few Sunday nights at the California Grill a new event called "Celebration at the Top - Savor, Sip and Sparkle" has JUST been offered… and it sounds like it's going to be a fireworks party... taken to the nines. From high atop the 15th floor of the Contemporary Resort's California Grill the small plates and fine libations portions of the evening take place in the private Sonoma and Napa Rooms of the ...
