Editorial Summary

The creators visit SeaWorld San Diego to review the Dine with Orcas experience, which features an all you can eat buffet paired with an up close viewing of the orca show. They arrive early to secure a seat near the glass, noting that some tables are positioned where orcas can slide up onto the platform. The buffet includes a variety of items such as caesar salad, dijon chicken, roasted pork loin, cheese tortellini, and glazed salmon, along with kid friendly options like corn dog bites and mac and cheese. During the meal, the creators observe a thirty minute presentation where trainers interact with the orcas through various behaviors and vocalizations. The creators conclude that the experience offers good value, especially when compared to similar buffet pricing at Disney. They highlight the benefit of being able to watch the show in a seated environment, which provides relief from the heat during summer months. Ultimately, they recommend the experience for its entertainment value and proximity to the animals.
