What's News: SeaWorld Orlando

Here's the information for Christmas 2003

CELEBRATE "CHRISTMAS AT SEAWORLD

SeaWorld Orlando ushers in a new holiday tradition this year with a "Christmas at SeaWorld," every weekend in December. The month-long yuletide celebration sets a festive mood every Saturday and Sunday with sensational fireworks set to live music from the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, snowfalls at the Waterfront, a 48-foot-tall Christmas tree adorned with 4,500 brilliant lights and stunning ornaments, Santa's readings of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," and holiday music from classical harpists and carolers.

Festive Fireworks with the Philharmonic

The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and international singing sensation Connie Kunckle, fill Bayside Stadium with Christmas melodies during eight yuletide performances. The musicians are joined by multitude of vibrant fireworks that fill the nighttime sky during the spectacular fireworks finale. On four nights, SeaWorld's Christmas Orchestra steps in to play guests' favorite holiday tunes.

Santa's Tree Lighting Festivities

A light snowfall descends upon SeaWorld's newest attraction -The Waterfront - as a brass quintet sets the mood for a wonderful yuletide presentation. Santa Claus arrives to read the holiday classic "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" to park guests and then leads a brilliant tree-lighting ceremony.

"A Norman Rockwell Holiday Showcase:
Take a Walk Through the Covers of the Saturday Evening Post"

"A Norman Rockwell Holiday Showcase" returns to feature some of the most endearing images of holiday Americana and transport guests, both young and old, into the world of the famed artist, Norman Rockwell. Life-size sculptures straight from the covers of The Saturday Evening Post create a gallery of Rockwell's timeless illustrations -- his famous, innocent scenes of yesteryear.

Shamu's Holiday Celebration

The festivities continue at Shamu Stadium as killer whales and trainers get into the Christmas spirit by performing astonishing feats to festive music during a special holiday-themed Shamu night show.

New Year's Eve celebration

SeaWorld's New Year's Eve party is a night full of live music and fireworks. Following a high-energy Shamu night show, guests can boot, scoot and boogey to the country-rock sounds of a live concert by Sawyer Brown. The party moves to The Waterfront, where a live DJ spins today's hottest hits in anticipation for 2004. At the stroke of midnight, the Orlando sky radiates as a brilliant fireworks finale rings in the New Year.
