I've wanted to see something like this experimented with for a long time now—definitely intrigued. Worried it won't find a strong audience since it will almost certainly be shown up by SeaWorld's own, non-upcharge Christmas offerings next door, but it's a novel, inventive concept that will be interesting to see the public's response to. I'll give it a shot this winter probably. Don't know that it will be worth my $30, but I'm definitely curious to see how they do.

So, as promised, I hit up this event tonight—still here in fact.
I may type more later, but I want to jump in quickly to tell people that it's worth you're $25 or so. It's basically entirely a lights and vibes event, but it is executed shockingly well with really pretty displays and an on-the-ground feel that I haven't really experienced anywhere else before. It's like a fun-but-tranquil, modern holiday vibe. I like it a lot.
You can see and do everything (and grab some food) in about two hours total so it's not a big time investment. If you're in central FL this Christmas, give it a shot. It's a really pleasant, charming time and I hope to see this very-un-recent-United-Parks-like event succeed.

OK-- I may have to do it now, especially if they offer another good discount. It's scheduled to run through the end of January, and I have a feeling they'll offer some deals to get people in post-holidays.
