Santa in the Water Room

Breakfast with Santa has been a tradition for us every December. Mr. Chuck and Miss Judy also enjoy going with us. We made plans to go this morning with them and we invited Michelle to join us.

We arrived right on time but it appeared that the table they planned to seat us at wasn’t ready, so we were led to the Water Room – a small space set apart from the dining room with perfect views of the tanks. We were thrilled to be sitting there!

We went to the buffet line and loaded up our plates, then we sat down to enjoy our spectacular view. As we ate the mermaids swam in the tanks. We could see them in the tanks in the dining room. Soon they swam into the tanks in front of us, it was like a private show!

Santa stopped by our tables last. We took photos before he headed into the tanks for his swim. Once again, we got a personal viewing of the water show.

After breakfast, we encountered some animal meet and greets. We saw a coral snake and two rats. Marina was happy to pet them all. We bought tickets for the aquarium and went inside. Michelle used to go to the aquarium often when she was little, but it had been years since her last trip. She enjoyed seeing it all again.

We passed by the Archer Fish who were being fed. Michelle and Marina each took a turn. They held a live cricket over the tank and the fish squirted water at it to get them to drop the cricket into the water. It was funny to watch!

After we made went through the Aquarium we went to the 4D theater to see The Polar Express. It was a festive way to end our day.
