Chef Hector Colon has joined SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment as the Orlando parks' Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Operations.

While working in the culinary department here at Sesame Place, I always had guests asking me about healthy or alternative meal options throughout the park. Though each guest had different needs (we’re talking gluten allergies, to vegan diets, to kosher meals), I found that Sesame Place was always able to accommodate them.

If one of your new year’s resolutions is to get your financial house in order, you’re not alone.  I spent a good part of this past weekend paying pending bills, balancing the checkbook (well, almost) and working on a household budget for 2011.  As I add up the costs for necessities like utilities, food and home repairs, the amount left for family entertainment is getting smaller and smaller.

So far we’ve had an amazing year for SeaWorld San Antonio! With so many new attractions, new shows and changes, it’s hard to keep up. Hopefully you’ve taken the time to check out our new area for the kids, Sesame Street Bay of Play. Chances are that you even stumbled upon one or all of our remodeled gift shops.

Sesame Street’s Bert celebrates his birthday on July 26, so Busch Gardens Tampa is hosting a party for him in the new Sesame Street Safari of Fun on Saturday, July 24. Ernie's straight-laced sidekick will be the guest of honor during a breakfast and a lunch dine. Breakfast is from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.; lunch is from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

When most people think about eating at a theme park they think about hamburgers and pizza. What most people don't realize is that we offer healthier dining options at Water Country USA, as well.

Guest can find healthier dining options around the park including sub sandwiches and homemade chips, to fresh watermelon, strawberries and melon. Even lighter options such as salads are also scattered around the water park that include healthy sides.

My favorite place to eat at the park is Launch Pad. I love the variety of subs. They carry everything from Italian to chicken salad.

You might’ve experienced SeaWorld’s Orlando's Summer Nights and had an amazing time. But, have you experienced it VIP-style? Well, put the map down and let us take care of it all for you.
