Welcome to the 2024 Seven Seas Food Festival at SeaWorld, Orlando!

The old "festival area" was completely changed around to accommodate a large roller coaster. I'm glad to see so many wide open spaces still remain in the area. There's still plenty of room for free standing food kiosk around the walkway.

Here's a closer look at the Caribbean Market booth, located in the new Pipeline Coaster area.

It's been a while since we've seen so much open sky around these parts.

The new Half Pipe Pavilion had simply been a free-standing covered seating option, prior to the renovations in this area.

For the moment anyway, it looks like Tito's Vodka is being featured at the kiosk.

Some of the holiday offerings had been set up in this area in years past... like the popular "Meet Rudolph" photo-op area. It'll be interesting to see if they move that to a new location, or try and integrate it into this area.

The yellow sun shade material that's spread out over the Beer Garden actually makes for a pretty great free-seating area. The "lawn" is astroturf and the support poles for the canopy are tall and spread out enough to let a good amount of air into the seating area. In addition to family-sized bench style seating, there's a few adirondack chairs here and there.

The Cajun Shrimp and Grits is from the Gulf Coast Market and features Cheddar Stone Grits, Royal Red Shrimp, Andouille Sausage, Roasted Tomatoes, with Green Peas.

The out-of-pocket, menu board price for Cajun Shrimp & Grits sample is $11.99. When you use a 10 Sampler Lanyard to purchase the same item, the cost is reduced to around $7.93.

This is the New St. Patrick’s Day Nachos sample from the Irish Market booth. It features Crispy Potato Chips, Corned Beef, Cheese, and Red Cabbage.

The out-of-pocket menu board price for the St. Patrick’s Day Nachos is $12.99. If you were to use one entitlement from a 15 Sample Lanyard though, that price would break down to being around $6.43 for the same item - a substantial savings.

The Bratwurst from the German Market includes a Pretzel Bun, Sauerkraut, Beer Cheese.

The out-of-pocket menu board price for the Bratwurst is $11.99.

It just so happens that SeaWorld was giving away free beer to guests on the day we visited the festival. Annual Passholders received two free beers, while single-day ticket guests received one free beer. The beer was served in 7oz cups.

I'm sure there's a sign around here somewhere, that talks about this unique piece of art - but I didn't find anything like that. So, I can say, this looks like a whale, made out of the kind of wood slats you would find in a bowling ally lane, or roller skating rink. I think it's pretty cool looking!

The French Market booth, never really seemed to have too many people around it.

The Indian Market booth is new this year.

Near each of the food booths, you'll find these great little cart displays with some food and floral design elements reminiscent of the country they represent. Here at the Indian Market booth, the display makes for a great photo-op.

Here's a look at the Chicken Tikka Masala that combines Tomato Cream Sauce and Peppers, with Jasmine Rice.

The Chicken Tikka Masala sample plate is listed on the menu board for $11.99. When you use a 10 Sampler Lanyard to purchase the same item, the cost is reduced to around $7.93.

Here's a look at the Mini Calzone from the Italian Market booth. It's filled with Ricotta & Mozzarella and is served with a cup of House Made Marinara Sauce.

The menu board out-of-pocket price for the Mini Calzone is $11.99.  If you were to use one entitlement from a 12 Sample Lanyard to purchase the calzone — it would bring the price down to being around $6.43 for the same item.

There's three meatballs under that sauce! Here's a look at the Palermo Fontina Cheese Meatballs item from the Italian Market booth at SeaWorld's Seven Seas Food Festival.

The Palermo Fontina Cheese Meatballs is served with Pomodoro Sauce and a small half-breadstick. It's listed on the menu board at $10.99.

This Whiskey Maple Bacon Cinnamon Roll is from the Café De Mar booth and is topped with a whiskey maple glaze.

The Whiskey Maple Bacon Cinnamon Roll is listed on the menu board at $11.99 but if you purchase it with one of the 15 item Sampler Lanyard, that price would break down to being around $6.43 for the same item.

The Seven Seas Food Festival is always fun and it can be more affordable too, when you purchase one of the Sampler Lanyard cards.
