365: The Reboot

Disney's Mickey's Christmas = check.  Universal's Grinchmas = check.  SeaWorld's Christmas = nope.  How is it that this 12-year resident of Central Florida had not seen the culmination of Sea and Holiday Season?  Well, we had to quickly fix that so that balance could be restored in the world.  I had a few extra tickets so I invited Jeff and Jordan to come along.  Jordan has been a fan of SeaWorld since he was small (though he always thought it was cool when Jeff and/or I worked for Universal or Nickelodeon).  With temperatures in the high 40's, the ambiance of "winter" was definitely present.  But entering the park, that is about all that helped with the holiday spirit. I was disappointed at how sparse the holiday decor was in the first part of the park.  The signage to get to the various holiday shows was non-existent, and made it difficult for us (very seasoned theme park patrons) to maneuver around the holiday calendar.   Overall, we had a nice evening.  The back of the park was nicely lit up in varying shades of the rainbow.  We all agreed that the Sea of Lights was our favorite, and the Winter Wonderland on Ice was a close second.  I wouldn't have purchased tickets to just see the Christmas celebration, but it was a nice thing to check out since I had them.
