The only downside is you cant bring cameras (You can bring your own mask and dive computer) and they don't offer to take pictures or videos of your experience. I was fortunate we had family members (needed a park ticket) who were able to take pics and videos. You can do this experience without park tickets but we plan our day around this event.. We loved playing rock, paper, scissors, waving, blowing bubbles, and entertaining the kids. The water is crystal clear, no current, and if you burn thru your tank and there is still time in the 45 min window they will quickly swap you out and you can go back in to see huge turtles, hammer heads, rays etc..Im defiantly diving this every time we go to Disney if possible.

It was relatively inexpensive for what you do. It includes all gear, a commemorative c-card, and a t-shirt. They have shower and changing facilities with shampoo and conditioner. I highly recommend this for any diver! It's a super fun experience!! I was even one of the lucky few to find a shark tooth in the tank :)

SeaWorld rescues animals of all kinds and this is your chance to interact with those animals…read more There is a fee to sign up for this experience. I have been going to SeaWorld for years but this tour was a jewel. You get to interact with a variety of species, learn about how SeaWorld came to be the custodian of the animal and sometimes touch an animal. The actual animals in the experience change day to day and you may be allowed to touch but you definitely get a photo opportunity with each species of animal. The handlers or Animal Ambassadors are the stars of the show. They have years of experience and tell you about how Seaworld came to host the animal, how they care for the animal and explain how and why you interact with each animal on the tour. Depending on the weather (reptiles don't like cooler temps so if it is below 70 they do not bring out these animals or the sloth), the variety on the tour can change. I honestly can't wait to go back and do this again. We saw flamingos, a fuzzy white three legged possum, two small screech owls, a bald eagle, and a few other animals. It was fun to hear the trainers talk about taking the bald eagle on a plane for appearances and how they care for the eagle in the hotel before they make an appearance. Almost all of the animals have a story on how they were rescued and why they can no longer live in the wild. This was a very educational tour but in the best way because you learned by hearing about the animal's habits and biology. This outdoor tour lasts 30 minutes and you meet to start the tour in front of the Nautilus theater next to the Infinity Falls ride. It does not involve a lot of walking however you would need to stand comfortably. There are benches in the viewing area so I suppose you could sit and observe from there if need be, however you would not get the up close viewing or interaction. At the end they provide you with a small card that tells about each animal that you interacted with and give you a tip that other cards may be available at other animal experiences within the park. This was a nice little perk and a good way to remember your tour.

There are beluga whales, walruses, and seals. It's a great way to cool off and take a leisurely stroll while checking out some animals. There isn't a ton to do, but you can compare how long you can hold your breath to other animals. You can see how long you can hold your hand on an ice wall. Let the games begin!!

We didn't know this before going in line and was surprised when the doors opened and there was no ride available. We still loved seeing the penguins.

Also know that you can use your platinum card as a quick queue so you don't have to spend a long time in line.

Go here in the morning first thing to avoid the crowds and sometimes the overbearing heat! Excellent experience for family and kids to se especially in the morning as the first ride to avoid the crowds. There were so many animals already roaming around in the morning as they're just waking up and likely grazing food to start their day. The guides are funny and very knowledgeable for the kids and everyone will have a great time going on this ride. At the end, there's a little photo op to do do with some Safari jeep and overall, it's a really great start to enjoy the day at Animal Kingdom!

Oh, I really liked this ride. It's possible that's because it was the first ride we went on at…read moreDisney World. But it's a super ride and perfect for small children. My two year old was probably a bit confused about what was going on when we climbed into our safari vehicle, and I'm not sure she was totally on board throughout the ride to be honest. Although we've been to Lincoln Park Zoo, she was very very young at the time and would not remember being this close to an animal that wasn't on the level of a dog, snake, or turtle. So whilst I think being mere feet from giraffes, elephants, and wildebeests was unexpected, she said she enjoyed it. The driver was informative and didn't make the embarrassing jokes that the "captain" of the Jungle Cruise did, for which I'm thankful. In addition to the aforementioned animals, we came across black and white rhinos, lions, hippos, cheetahs, flamingos, and more. The ride was leisurely and comfortable, and there's no height requirement so anyone can ride. This was a lot of fun to start our first visit to Disney World. It's a very popular ride, apparently. 45+ minute wait times are not uncommon. We used a lightning lane to cut through most of it but we did have to wait 10 minutes or so before we got on. I'd definitely recommend lightening lanes for this one!

First time visiting and loved experiencing everything through their after hours event (Volcano Bay…read moreNights). Staff had great energy throughout the night, and there is a good mixture of thrill / relaxing rides for all ages. Personally, you can always find me at a lazy river. I loved how they have your classical slow moving river vs fast moving river for people who want a lil thrill (my fave). The park follows a tropical theming which was enjoyable to experience, and has thoughtful details that make your experience more fun / immersive. Throughout the park, there are buttons that trigger cannons to squirt water at people. Similarly, buttons placed in the pools also trigger a bubbling effect-- even as an adult I found myself enjoying these little details. Throughout the night, there were also special character meet and greets for photo opps (Trolls, Shrek, HTTYD) + unlimited snacks (churro /popcorn) + freestyle cup were just a nice bonus Volcano Bay is definately worth a visit for anyone who loves water parks. I would definately recommend visiting if an after hours event is offered

It had been a while since I last visited Volcano Bay. We arrived early on a Tuesday morning at…read moreUniversal so we can park and take the bus to Volcano Bay. Our driver Nate was friendly and welcomed us. He drove safely and got us to Volcano Bay without any issues. Upon arriving to Volcano Bay, I immediately went to the Sales/Tickets counter to purchase Mom's and my tickets. I wanted to purchase the tickets with gift cards I had. Gift cards can only be used on site and can not be redeemed online. (I was also able to pay for parking at Universal with one of the gift cards.) Lockers are, of course, available for rent. It was 7 of us so we got a family locker. That didn't work. We had to rent another family locker to hold all our stuff. The family lockers are not big enough if you have multiple bags. Some of the staff are cool. We encountered one team member who greeted almost everyone in the Kopiko Wai Winding River (lazy river). Every time we winded back around to where he sat overlooking and safeguarding the river he spoke. His attitude was hospitable and refreshing.

This was my very first time visiting Icon Park, and I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised…read more The first thing I appreciated was the parking. They have a convenient parking garage where the first three floors are paid parking, while the fourth floor and above are free. That was a nice bonus and made getting there easy. I was actually on my way to a restaurant, so exploring the park wasn't part of the plan. But once I walked inside, I couldn't help but look around. There were restaurants, food vendors, candy shops, drink stands, and so much more. The atmosphere was lively, fun, and full of energy. It looked like the perfect place for families, couples, or anyone just looking to spend a few hours enjoying themselves. This is a short review because I didn't get the chance to experience everything Icon Park has to offer. However, based on my first impression alone, I can definitely say I'll be back. It was filled with excitement for both children and adults, and I'm looking forward to exploring it even more on my next visit.

Overall, I think this is a great place to check out if you are in Orlando…read more We came here because we have Legoland gold passes which means we get free admission to sea life, Madame Tussaud's, and the Orlando Eye. All three of these together took up about two hours and then we were able to go to Cafe tu tu tango to get a bite to eat. This was a great half day experience while we were visiting Orlando. There was a parking garage and parking was super easy. By that time we left around 8:30 PM there were so many cars, but when we first got there at about 5 PM there were tons of spots. They do have parking spots you can pay for in the lower levels so it seems like if you're willing to pay there will always be parking. If you want free parking, you need to go earlier because this seems to be popular for nightlife. I always appreciate when there's so many attractions together that you can walk to. This place has quite a few restaurants, some shops and the attractions all in a contained area. It was very clean and when we came, there was a huge police presence, because apparently a couple weeks before there was hundreds of teenagers that descended to the area and fought. So the place was doing a really good job making sure that everything was safe. This is a place for both families and non-families alike.

We got lucky and got to see the Komodo dragon trying to catch something to eat, and also got to hear the tigers roar. If you hang around for a bit you'll probably hear the tigers low growl. Super impressive and very cool to be able to see all these animals. I especially loved the bird exhibit, so many birds you'd never see otherwise. We also got to see some bats (hanging upside down of course) which was really cool.
