Do the snorkeling at Discovery Cove... its STUFFED with creatures and different depths. So much better than you even get in the real world in most cases.
Brings back very cold memories. Shark Reef water temps are not heated but what a great time.
Yes that is pretty cool and we were there pre-kids, but kinda pricey for the whole family and I don't think we will have a whole free day for it. To be honest neither kid did well with the masks. Planning on taking them snorkeling in the Keys next month so I guess we will get our fix then, just stinks because it was a cool attraction that was definitely different for a water park.
I agree; it made TL the GOTO waterpark for us back in the day. Aulani on Oahu has their Rainbow Reef which is the same experience -- and cold water! But, that's a bit of trip just to experience it! It definitely IS worth it though.
Haven't been there in years but we enjoyed in Key Largo, John Pennycamp State Park, a reef 3 miles out into the ocean. Saw interesting stuff but when the little boat rocked back and forth going back to shore, I lost it with severe sea sickness. The captain did say while my mind and body were spinning out of control to focus on land and don't move my eyes. It actually worked and I stopped throwing up.
Yes, I'd agree too expensive if doing it just for DC for one day. Highly recommend doing it as part of a non-Disney leg of a trip where you do DC, Seaworld, and Aquatica for a few non-Disney days to get the value for your DC ticket.
About 8 months ago they were selling half price tickets to DC, but I think that was more in the thick of the pandemic.
Yes, I currently took advantage of that Black Friday 50% off. It was $160 bucks for 2 adults to swim with the dolphins as well as it being all inclusive beer/wine, breakfast and lunch. We had a fantastic time and highly recommended it if you can catch a deal.
That's a great deal. And I would have been cheaper as I would skip the dolphin thing unless they changed it. I remember saying to the trainer, the dolphin really doesn't have to pull me around anywhere, lol.
