New Year's Eve is one of the busiest days of the theme park calendar, and if you were planning on spending it at SeaWorld Orlando, you should know that both the Dine With Shamu and and SkyTower upcharge celebration events are now sold out. Guests can still visit the park and see the New Year's Eve fireworks from Bayside stadium, but they will need to arrive early as all reserved seating is no longer available.
