SeaWorld Christmas Celebration 2012

Some pictures of opening night of SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration. Shows: O Wondrous Night, Christmas Miracles Shamu, Winter Wonderland on Ice, Sesame Street and Clyde and Seamore's Countdown to Christmas. Most of the shows are the same from last year. Can't speak for the Sesame Street Christmas show as it is always crowded. Seaworld suggest getting at to any of the Christmas shows at least 45 mins to an hour prior to show.

Get your pics taken inside a snow globe, back again with 2 locations this year, one at the Waterfront, and another near Shamu stadium. Santa is inside the Polar Express Experience attraction as in previous years. New this year, O Wondrous Photo. Get your pics taken with some of the animals that are featured  in the O Wondrous Night show. Frankie the camel below.

 






























Some Entertainment around the park.

Christmas Marketplace is located in the Bayside Pathway. Opens at 5pm ( check guide map). There you will find various booths with games, ornaments, different merchandise,  food, drinks, and snacks. It's also an excellent viewing area for the fireworks and the Sea of Trees which dance at some point during the night.

Some of this year's merch.

Summer Nights 2012 at SeaWorld Orlando

Full show SeaLions tonite:


Finale of Sealions tonite. Clyde, Seamore and Winston Walrus shake and dance to LMFAO's popular hit song.







Shamu Rocks Summer Nights 2012. The almost full Shamu Rocks show. At one point before the show the waiting crowd did the wave for a couple of mins.  Gotta love peoples reactions as they see themselves on the big screen during the pre-show.

 Video Shamu Rocks show:

Before the fireworks show a DJ had the crowd dancing. Also a performance by Dragon Legends Acrobats. The back Bayside stadium pathway was opened at 6pm. Nothing really happening in that area.

The fireworks show was the same from last year. Just a few different colors and the way some of the fireworks were launced are new. Did not hear music from the new turtle trek until the end of the show.
Other than that a great night. Glad we went yesterday as it looks like it will rain for the next couple of days.
