Holiday Candle Making at SeaWorld, Orlando

There's a special "one day only" event happening over at SeaWorld that I didn't notice when I was posting all the other holiday activities this year — and that's a hands-on Holiday Candle Making class over at Ports of Call. Since I can't remember seeing anything like this attached to the holiday activities at SeaWorld, it might be a pretty great event… if you want to learn about making scented candles or just enjoy guided, hands-on crafting classes. Let's dig in to the details a bit more, ... ( read more ... )

VIP Cookies, Cocoa and Lakeside Bam!!! – Dates and Prices for this SeaWorld Special Dessert Party Event

There's a cool new mini event on SeaWorld Orlando's calendar this year and it sounds pretty great, at one of the best "extra event" price points you'll find at any theme park! Cookies, Cocoa & Milk with Special Holiday Guest VIP Fireworks Viewing is the official name — and while it is a long title — it does pretty much sum up the event. The event takes place at the Lakeside Grill Cantina on select nights only at 8:45pm. I haven't quite figured out what the Lakeside Grill "Cantina" ... ( read more ... )

Dinner with Santa at SeaWorld Orlando – Menu, Prices, and Dates

Ahhh… Dinner with Santa! The popular Dinner with Santa series is back for 2023 and the good news is, there's almost 4 times as many dates as the Sesame Street Christmas Breakfast at SeaWorld! Dinner with Santa at SeaWorld Orlando takes place in a special outdoor (covered) event space called the Sea Harbor Pavilion. While the cost is higher than the Sesame Street Christmas Breakfast, there is more food… and just like the breakfast, as far as themed, all-you-care-to-eat character dinners go ... ( read more ... )

Sesame Street Christmas Breakfast at SeaWorld, Orlando - Menu and Pricing

Yay!!! Some holiday details are starting to fall from the sky, like little tiny holiday snowflakes all wrapped up with a bow (I really like holiday season in the parks). There's a very limited holiday breakfast that happens over at SeaWorld, Orlando each year… it's the Sesame Street Christmas Breakfast at SeaFire Grill. It's actually a really good deal as far as character breakfasts go (especially if you're an annual passholder). Park admission is required, but not included in the price of the ... ( read more ... )

SeaWorld Christmas Celebration Walkabout Day One 2021

SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration has been going on for quite a few years now, and one of my favorite things about the festival is (naturally) the food booths... but also the pretty lights and various entertainment packages that have been part of the festival. The weather is generally a little cooler this time of year, and for me... it's the perfect "stroll around and sample food and beverage items" temperature!  Returning this year are the very popular (and cost saving) Sampler Lanyards. Like ... ( read more ... )
