Summer Spectacular 2026 Dinner Near SeaWorld Orlando

SeaWorld's Biggest Summer Yet Deserves a Proper Dinner

Summer 2026 at SeaWorld Orlando is unlike anything the park has done before. The Electric Ocean nighttime celebration runs select nights from June 12 through September 7, bringing drone shows, fireworks, cirque performances, and the return of nighttime animal presentations that fans have been asking about for years.

It is a full day and night at the park. Roller coasters, animal encounters, splash zones in the afternoon. Then as the sun sets, the whole park lights up for Electric Ocean. By the time the Ignite fireworks finale wraps up, your family has earned a real dinner.

Ciao Italia Ristorante has been feeding families after SeaWorld since 1991. We are Orlando's longest running family restaurant, just 5 minutes from the park on Westwood Boulevard. Chicken Parmesan, Lasagna, Braised Short Rib, Lobster Ravioli, all made from scratch every day. Show your SeaWorld ticket and the whole table gets 10% off.
