Shark-infested newsletter🦈

Baby Shark to make a splash at SeaWorld parks in 2025. (United Parks & Resorts)

I feel like most of us have a “Baby Shark” story.

Mine is that the catchy tune is a happy trigger for my dog, and she does mini zoomies.

Hello, In the Loop subscribers. It’s Haley.

Earlier this year, SeaWorld announced its collaboration with The Pinkfong Company to bring Baby Shark to its U.S. parks.

On Monday, the celebration of a song about a family of sharks officially circles into SeaWorld Orlando.

The park just dropped what’s all included in the Baby Shark Experience, such as a live sing-along and meet-and-greets.

Shark-filled summer 🦈

Jumping from one shark celebration to another.

Super Shark Summer kicks off next month. The all-things sharks event has hands-on education stations, VR dives, and behind-the-scenes tours.

All this talk about sharks and Shark Week has me circling back to my 2024 write-up about sharks at theme parks.

Universal Orlando isn’t letting us forget that Wicked: For Good will be flying into theaters before we know it.

Wicked: The Experience is more than just your average gift shop; an experience is the accurate description. The theme park just announced that Elphaba and Glinda are back greeting guests through Aug. 10.

Adrenaline-fueled fun 🏁

With its filming ties to Central Florida, there’s a little extra buzz surrounding the “F1″ movie.

And if you go see the movie at the Cinemark inside Dezerland Park, your ticket stub is good for discounts on other experiences.

With go-kart racing and access to the Orlando Auto Museum, the deal is fit for any car enthusiast.

Walt Disney World

God bless the Rivers of America ⛴️

The final days to experience Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat are approaching, Fourth of July weekend.

I made sure to include that in my roundup of patriotic activities to consider, if your 4th plans include Disney World.

I recently took what is most likely my final tour on the Rivers of America, listening to Tom Sawyer’s storytelling and taking in views that will look a lot different.

A cruise on the Liberty Belle also allowed me to get a visual update on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, as the roller coaster undergoes a big refurbishment. Check out that slick black track!


If you have plans at the theme parks for Independence Day, remember to post your attraction and fireworks photos on our PinIt! page.

Feel free to keep me in the loop through my email or reach out to me on my X or Instagram.
