[WR1]

Has anyone done this and if so would you recommend?

Visited the show about 15 years ago, when the children were little and enjoyed it. Went back last year in July, with the (now) grown up children and their partners, and felt that it had lost some of its magic. BUT, without the previous experience, I guess that it would have been a good evening. There is plenty of food, but you will have to pay for drinks, other than the free soft drinks. The floor show is quite good, especially the fire dancing.
If you book for the late show, it ends just before the fireworks in the park - so you need to rush out of the show and fight for a place to view the fireworks from the lakeside just outside the show exit - you then get a free firework show into the bargain (that is assuming that you have not paid the park admission, since you can get into the show without a park ticket).
So my general feeling is - the evening is good for one visit, but I would'nt return

I think this one is the one at Disney Polynesian Resort and not the Sea World one. The drinks including beer, wine and soft drinks are included with the entrance fee. I think you may have to pay for whiskey, gin etc. Seeing the fireworks is a nice and there is room for all to see. They ahve a very nice huge bar area inside the hotel for afterwards too. Show wise the Sea World show is better IMHO.

I have wanted to see this show for a while now and never quite made it but it is definately the one at Seaworld that I wanted to see not the one at Disney - has anyone any further comments on it. I keep nagging my husband to go.
