SeaWorld San Antonio vacation 2016!!!

So we went to SeaWorld San Antonio for the third time and had a blast! We decided to go the first week of June and it was perfect! Hardly any lines and it was not too hot yet!
We got there early, since we had tickets for the Beluga Whale experience. It was a complete mess for check-in, even though we had reservations. They just opened Discovery Point, so they were still fixing all of the bugs. We were told to get to the park at 9:15am and weren't allowed in until 9:45 with everyone else. Then we waited, for what seemed like forever for them to get us ready for the experience. Finally at about 11am we were suited up and ready for the ride over to Beluga Bay

We loved it. Even though my son, daughter, and I had tickets, my husband and baby were able to come to the back with a spectator ticket and watch us! The kiddos enjoyed meeting all of the Beluga Whales and doing tricks with them. We even got to take a picture one of them!

After trekking back to the other side of the park to change, we had to shimmy across to a little further than we were to Shamu, with lunch with the Killer Whales. This was our second time having lunch with them and it's absolutely wonderful. You eat a buffet while the Killer Whales are in the background playing and watching you. One of the babies was interested in what was going on and kept jumping on the deck to watch us all eat. At the end, there is a 20-30 activity session with the Killer Whales, where they show different tricks and talk about each individual whale.

Once lunch was done, we got to enjoy the park with no other adventures waiting for us. So first off, was going to roller coasters and letting the kids have fun. Once we got to The Great White, we found out that my son was too short, by one inch. So it was just me and my daughter to ride that one. She had a blast, so we went one more time, since there wasn't a line. While we did that, my husband took my son to the arcade to play some games since he was upset.

After The great White we went to the Steel Eel. This one we knew my son could ride, since he's rode before. We went through three times since there was no line once again.

By this time, the baby was ready to get out of the stroller and play herself. So we went to the Sesame Street Bay of Play for her to get rid of some energy. They big kids ran off any enjoyed the area themselves and we ran around the splash pad with her. It had been her first time at a splash pad and she had a blast! Even after getting water to the face, she couldn't get enough.



Overall, we had a great day with the kiddos and can't wait to go back another time. Who knows what we will conquer next year!
