universal/sea world

Wondering 2 things...
1-Has anyone done the Dine with Shamu?
2-Has anyone been to Universal when Seuss landing has been decorated for Christmas with teh Grinch?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Re: universal/sea world

We did dine with Shamu last summer. It was great! Shamu is really close to where you sit and eat. The food is lovely (adults buffet and childrens too!)
The trainers are there to answer questions and they tell you great facts about the killer whales! It is well worth doing IMHO!

I think Dana is going to do the Dine with Shamu in October...
and, I've never been to Universal - but, I bet Suess landing is cute decorated for Christmas.

I have yet to go to Universal at Christmas time, but I have seen lots of photos. It looks wonderful. Here's a link to a slew of photos of Grinchmas:

I've wanted to go for the grinchmas also. But have always stayed at WDW and enjoyed there Christmas decorations. Maybe I will get a chance this year. It always looks so fun.

Don't forget Universal Studios gets the Macy Parade complete with the floats for the holidays too! That's something I've always wanted to see in person.

To be honest with you I can't remember, I know it was around the x-mas time. I have a friend who works over there and I will try to find out and let you know.

The Macy's Parade is in Universal Studios, while IOA has Grinchmas. They're both done during the holiday season.

Here's some photos of the Macy's parade:
