Can't wait to see the shows this year. SeaWorld does Christmas right and it is so beautiful!
Gets you in the spirit not matter how hot it is!!

We were there for Christmas 2012 (actually in the park on Christmas Day) and we had a ball. If anyone wants to check out my December trip report (see the link in my signature), there are tons of photos and write ups of our SW holiday experiences, including Dine with Shamu.

I don't usually read trip reports since I live here and have been going to SW since 1974, but have to say I thought yours and your pics were awesome! Can't wait for Christmas at SW again this year. Did you go to O Wondrous Night? I love that show and it has become a Christmas Tradition for us since they added it.

Aw, thanks!
Sadly, we missed out on O Wondrous Night . The plan was to go to Santa's Fireside Feast on Christmas Eve and then see O Wondrous Night thereafter, but we got hit by a 24 hour flu bug and found ourselves sicker than dogs that evening. I have vowed to book another holiday trip so I can re-do that Christmas Eve.
You know what I absolutely adored? The Sea of Trees. So pretty. I didn't want it to end!
We do too. Plate of Christmas Cookies and hot chocolate from the Sand Bar out on the patio is our favorite way to watch the light show on the lake.
You will love O Wondrous Night when you see it. It is a beautiful and funny way to tell the birth of Christ story.
I want to buy the $50 weekday ticket but if they don't have the celebration on the day we plan to go then we would go on Fri and then for the evening on Sat and would get the ticket where you get the second day for free. We also want to make a reservation at Sharks Underwater Grill but ressies aren't open yet. I am a little anxious like some others on here. I am hoping it works out this time.
I'm going to jump on this thread. I know Nothing! About Xmas at seaworld. I Just found out it starts the 23rd. We ate going on the 25th. I'm so excited and I don't know why! Lol
Xmas is my favorite time of year so what a treat. I did go to the website... I figure I would want to go to Clyde and Seymour, fireworks, the trees(looks amazing online).
Is the winter wonderland where you get cookies ad hit cocoa? Do I have to pay extra? Do I have to sign up?
The Christmas celebration is all included with your park admission. The only extra costs are things like food, drinks and souvenirs. The O' Wondrous Night show at Nautilus theater is a very popular Christmas show. Make sure you're at the theater an hour before show time for the best seat as that show fills up fast.
Also, a huge thank you to Gina for her Christmas 2012 trip report, it has helped me immensely with planning my Christmas vacation and I'm sure will contribute no end to making sure that our family really enjoys and gets the most out of our first ever christmas in Orlando. The time and effort you put into it is greatly appreciated.
We did Seaworld Christmas last year and really enjoyed it, but did not do any research before hand so we missed out on some things that we want to catch this year. I have a couple questions for the group: 1) Where is the O Wondrous Night show performed? 2) Where is the best viewing area for the Sea of Trees, Snow Flurries and Holiday Reflections shows? Thanks in advance
We went last yr. & we went to the last Ice Skating show & stayed in our seats for the fireworks. There may be another good spot that someone else can suggest.
O Wondrous Night is in the Nautilus Theatre.
Not sure the best place for the others. I am interested in hearing what others say too.
