Just got back from our trip. IMHO, I wasn't that impressed with dine with shamu. Part of the problem was that it is outside and it was very windy and cold. Our food was cold before we had a chance to eat it. Plus it really didn't dawn on me until my kids said " shamu wasn't even there, it was 4 other whales " that they were right, it wasn't dine with "shamu". I had a hard time enjoying because of the weather, but the food was just o.k., Not great. The interaction with the whales is pretty good. Just not sure for the price they charge it is worth it. They do give you a free pic outside, no where near the whales, just with landscape background.
