SeaWorld's water park transforms after dark into a lantern festival with five glowing themed realms, illuminated forests and lagoons, and s'mores stations along the walkways.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Orlando is around 5:31 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:57 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 50°F, so dress for standing around outside.
