Sea World Advice -- too busy for day after Thanksgiving?

We're planning our Thanksgiving/Christmas 07 trip to WDW; but we're going to jump ship and head to Sea World for a day or two...

We were wondering what people's experience for Friday/Sat after Thanksgiving might be? Is it as crazy as WDW is those two days?

Also... is there anyplace to get good food there? We did dinner w/Shamu one year, and the food was great... but we've never found anything else really good there.

Sea World can accomodate large crowds, since most of the attractions are shows and can hold a lot of people. Crowds aren't a huge problem, but do the rides first during busy periods. Thanksgiving weekend tends to be a busy time for all the theme parks in Orlando.

I like the BBQ place in Sea World. I can never remember the name.

We've done SW on the day after Thanksgiving in two different years and never thought the crowds were problematic. The park is pretty spacious and the shows tie up large numbers of people for chunks of time. We didn't see a Shamu show last time because of a new baby orca. But be sure to stay for the night show -- it's absolutely stunning.

Definitely give Seaworld a shot. It's my favorite park in Orlando. It's large enough that even large crowds can be accommodated. All the shows have multiple showings, so you should be able to sea everything at least once. Must sees:
Blue Horizons
Shamu
Clyde and Seamote Take Pirate Island
Pets Ahoy
Odyssea

The food is not noteworthy. My recommendation would be the Italian place at the Waterfront

We did Seaworld and Discovery Cove (a must do adventure) during the Christmas - New Years week... Neither seemed overly crowded. Discovery Cove limits the number of people who can be in the park at any one time.

Plus with your admission to DC, you get free admission to SeaWorld. BonuS!
