Went many times in September. I once joked to staff that I can't imagine coming in winter since the water is already so cold. They said it is actually much better because the change from air to water isn't so bad, water won't feel as cold. Yeah, sure ...........
Couple years ago whole family was there for Christmas so we booked it. I was nervous. It was AWESOME! Staff was right. In nice weather took me forever to get in water each time because it felt so cold. But in December I could walk right in, off and on all day. I wouldn't hesitate to do winter trip again (and the price was great!)
The lazy river and pool area are heated and good place to relax and warm up. 85-86 degrees.
Dolphin Lagoon is 80 degrees.
The grand reef water is cold, has to be for the fish. 76-77 degrees.

We went a few weeks before Christmas and nothing special for the holidays. Sea World was decorated and had holiday activities though.

The kids loved it. The water felt great since the air was colder. We didn't spend much time out of the water except to eat. We just covered up with towels and sat by the heaters. It was so nice with lighter crowds. Don't think it would be as enjoyable if it was crowded.
Thanks, didn't think they did anything special, but worth the ask. We have done Sea World at Christmas and loved it. Basically, we were booking Universal for the week before Christmas. I struck a deal with the wife - I can extend the vaca and go to Sea World (which I absolutely love) if she can swim with dolphins on Christmas. Consider it done!
