Re: Shamu Dining
Yes - we did it last November and enjoyed it very much. The dinner is held around the whale tanks, and all of the tables have a good view of the whales. A trainer gives a talk on the whales and their behaviour, etc. while you eat and then answers any questions. The buffet itself was excellent. There was a very good variety of food - and both a buffet for adults and one for kids. Because there is limited seating, it wasn't crowded. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable dinner, well worth the money.

Re: Shamu Dining
Just as Llama and queensmama said it was great, My DD's both enjoyed it. It was worth every penny and you got really close to the whales.

Re: Shamu Dining
Personally I didn't really like it. I thought the food was just OK, nothing to write home about. The presentation about the whales was nice, but I thought too short. It was nice being up close, though. But, I don't really like sea world, so that is part of where my opinion comes from.

Re: Shamu Dining
I thought it was wonderful, but the food was Ok. They present you a whole show in the backstage area, and you have a great view from all of the seats. Shamu will come almost right up to your face if you have an upclose seat, and still pretty close if you don't. A camera is a must-have for the Dine With Shamu.

Re: Shamu Dining
We thought the food was much better than any we had at WDW, & we were on the dining plan, hitting all the good places. I agree, it was kinda short, but also very relaxing. Plus the whales were soooo close when they swam by. I'd say do it, but book as early as you can!!
