During the event, guests are invited to join him for meet-and-greets, autographs, and photo opportunities within SeaWorld’s Guy Harvey Store located in the park’s Waterfront.

Guests who want additional experiences can enjoy a signature prix fixe dinner at Sharks Underwater Grill hosted by Guy Harvey, renowned artist and conservationist on Saturday, November 6. The dinner purchase includes a copy of a free Guy Harvey print, a meet & greet before dinner, and a presentation by Guy Harvey.
Aren’t familiar with how these two came together?
SeaWorld Orlando and renowned conservationist Guy Harvey launched a partnership in 2018, focused on ocean health and the plight of sharks in the wild.
Together, they work to raise awareness of these important issues and collaborate on science and research to increase understanding of how to better protect these critical predators and their habitats.
As part of the partnership, Guy Harvey also commissioned an array of exclusive paintings and apparel, which are available only at SeaWorld. A portion of the proceeds are donated directly to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation.
The newest planning tool at Walt Disney World has launched, and I tried it out earlier this week and it was a great time saver and super easy to use!!!
Just make sure that you have updated your My Disney Experience App, linked up your annual passes or tickets, and have plenty of data!!!
