Sea World's Christmas Celebration is awesome!

Tonight, I went to Sea World's Christmas Celebration, which is on select nights through January 2nd and is not a separate ticket event.

I just want to tell everyone that they did a really nice job, and honestly I found it more enjoyable than MVMCP! For one thing, hardly anyone was there, unlike MVMCP which is sold out all the time. Its an excellent opportunity to catch some rides on Manta and Kraken with no wait time (at least this week - Christmas will probably be different.)

Second, the atmosphere was a lot more laid back, relaxed, and classy. They did an excellent job decorating the park, too, as well as offering holiday treats and whatnot. We didn't even see the holiday shows, but there were fireworks also.

If you have an annual pass or are going to be in the area, I highly recommend going to see this.

I agree. I liked the Sea of Trees show, they have a synchronized light show to Christmas Music,better than the Lights of Winter and it is not outdated technology either.

Just went with the family last evening and it was spectacular!!! The Ice skating show, dancing trees, live music and fireworks were unbelievable!

Hello WDW - Get a hint! This is how the Holidays should be in your parks!

We went to EPCOT last week to check things out and it was appaulling! Even the Christmas Tree set up between Future World and World Showcase was pitiful. Anyone else notice the 8' block at the bottom of the tree that has no lights??? They used to put a stage up in front of the tree and surround the perimiter with oversized presents. This was missing this year and no one took it into consideration when decorating the tree.
And don't even get me started on the missing Lights of Winter!!!

Beyond this there were hardly any other Holiday decorations around World showcase. We will not be going back anytime soon.

How in the hell does WDW get off charging "premium prices" during the Holidays for an extremely less than premium product!!!

Unbelieveable!!!!

You forgot to mention Polar Express, a fantastic holiday overlay!

I was impressed with the Polar Express overlay and the arctic encounter / Christmas village and $2 hot chocolates during my December 2009 visit, even though it was 78-79 outside.
