Saturday, January 1, 2011 (Sea World)


We caught the shuttle bus to Sea World at 7:30. I had made arrangements for us to have a VIP tour. We purchased our park admission and then picked up our VIP Tour tag. The tour did not start until 11:00 so we saw Pets Ahoy!: Cats, dogs, birds and even a pig performed high-action feats at the Seaport Theater at 9:30. Afterwards we saw Penguin Encounter and the Pacific Point Preserve with the two large Sea Lions from Bonneville Dam. Somehow we missed seeing Shark Encounter and Wild Arctic. Catherine purchased gifts for two of her friends.

We joined our VIP tour group at 11:00AM. Catherine and some members of the tour group rode Journey to Atlantis and Kraken. We had lunch at the Spice Mill Café. We should have eaten lunch at Mango Joe's Cafe instead but I didn't want to walk that far. We saw the Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island show at the Sea Lion & Otter Stadium at 12:15PM. We fed little fishes to the Sea Lions. We saw the Blue Horizon Show at the Whale & Dolphin Theater. We fed the little fishes to the dolphins and then to the stingrays. Catherine and some members of the tour group rode Manta Roller Coaster. We saw the Believe Show at Shamu Stadium at 5:30. We saw the three-month-old killer whale. We had to leave before the end of the show to catch the shuttle bus. We had Subway sandwiches, chips and drinks for dinner in our hotel suite.
