STORY AND PHOTOS BY MARIANNA FRANCES
This was my family's first experience at the Seven Seas Food and Wine Festival at Sea World Orlando, and I'm not sure why. Thinking about the day we had and the ease of moving through the attractions was perfect, and still plenty of room to be socially distant. I was highly impressed with how Sea World had the event set up and organized. My family and I experience most of the annual festivals at Epcot, and even though I love everything Disney… the lines are long, the portions are small and honestly, I feel most food stands are a bit overrated. I can't believe I said that out loud. When I went to Sea World, I wasn't sure what to expect and was a bit overwhelmed with the thought of buying a lanyard and going stand to stand. What if there was nothing I wanted to eat? Would they have vegetarian or gluten free options? Options my picky kids would actually eat?
Similar to Epcot, there are stands
located outside of each food kiosk with the three food selections you can choose from as well as the specialty drinks. The a la cart price is listed as well. If you plan on spending the day there, I would say the food and drink sampling lanyard is the way to go. You can even share one lanyard between family members or a large group.
I had become so used to the small food portions at Epcot, that when I received my first order at Sea World, I thought they must have gotten my order wrong. It was a fullsize portion. FULL SIZE. For adult drinks, you can use two "punches" for a full-size drink.
Don't feel like you have to use your entire card in one day. The festival goes on until May 8, 2022, and you can use the card as little or as much as you want until then.
There are 24 different tasting locations that are themed with plenty of maps located around the property to guide your way. My boys loved the independence of taking the lanyard to the counter, ordering what they wanted, and paying with the punch card.
Not a ride person? Not a problem… there are plenty of shows, concerts, and shopping options to keep everyone entertained and smiling.
