Today we visit SeaWorld. After the long day yesterday I expected to sleep like a log, but I had a dreadful sleep and woke again and again really tense and fists clenched. No idea what was bothering me, but it wasn’t a good start to the day.Dad’s Taxi Doesn’t Do Disney - Part 2 - Less Words, More Pictures!
We decide to start the day with a proper breakfast, so we drive up to SeaWorld, then go
beyond and find a Denny’s on International Drive where we all have pancakes,
some of us supplementing them with meat and eggs. It was delicious, but I have to say I don’t remember the sausages being so small, they were tiny.
Soon after the park opened, we are already feeling the holiday spirit, and the weather was just perfect
We head straight over to Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, as we’ve not done this attraction before. It had just opened when we were last at SeaWorld, two years ago, and we never saw the queues at less than 70 minutes wait. This morning we walked straight in, and it’s a cute little ride which we all enjoyed, but our verdict was that you would be very disappointed if you had stood in a line for 70 minutes for it.
The penguins are very cute though:
Next stop: The Blue Horizons Show. We’ve seen this many times, but we still think it’s probably the best show at the park. We got great seats and noticed that the theatre was far from full when the show started, yet another clue that SeaWorld are losing their visitors. We love it here though, and as always the show was amazing.
The show was slightly different, in that the high-diving display didn’t happen, but the trapeze artists
were in full force and the birds were flying around the audience, including the fly-past by the condor which I had completely forgotten about and consequently missed the photo opportunity.
