How is the Animal Shows and Photo Tour of Sea World Orlando? It is a good experience?

I am planning doing this tour. But I want to know if really they take your pictures in every show. What type of food is in dining with shamu? It is a good value?

Yes, SeaWorld takes your picture with the "animal stars" at the end of each show and a CD with all the photos is included in the tour.

The food at Dine With Shamu is okay, but nothing to write home about. The real attraction is not the food but Shamu. You can find a review of Dine With Shamu here:
