Dillen's Brownie troop hosted a sleepover at Sea World a couple of weeks ago and it was AMAZING!! We arrived around 5:30PM and we were greeted by some very cheerful Sea World staff who took our bags, gave us bright green t-shirts and then began our own private, VIP tour of the park. Fortunately, Roxy was invited to join in the fun, as well. Dillen's Brownie troop is full of awesome little girls and moms which made the sleepover even more enjoyable. We were fed dinner; taken on a few behind-the-scene tours; given educational lectures; given VIP seating for the Shamu and fireworks show; and then taken to the Shark Encounter where we were to unroll our sleeping bags and sleep on the top levels of the tunnel. Sleeping under sharks was truly incredible. I don't think I slept more then 20 minutes. All of us were probably asleep by around 1AM (I still can't believe Dillen and Roxy lasted that lon g) and we were awoken by the Sea World staff by 6:30AM then next morning so we could pack up, tour another exhibit and then be given breakfast before the park re-opened to the public.

I have to say, even with no sleep, I would redo this experience at least once per month. It was incredible.

Sean and Piper met us at the front entrance at the park opening and we spent about 4 hours playing at the park as a family. This also was awesome because it was Piper's first time enjoying Sea World. Needless to say, she loved it. :)
