A big fan of all sea animals especially dolphins. On this trip I got a huge thing for killer whales and manatees as well.
I've been to Seaworld once before. Marts last year, when a little baby shamu was born (4 days old, so cute) So it was great fun to get back there and see how big she is now.

My mom, Maj-britt...

Loves loves loves the manatees, if she could, she would keep on in a pool in her garden (just kidding, Denmark is too cold for manatees)
But she did spend a couple of hours every day together with them.

Where: We stayed at the Renaissance Orlando Resort at Seaworld. It's right across the street from Seaworld, which was perfect, we could walk over there in 5 mins. The hotel was really beautiful (just been refurbished) and really amazing with a light seaworld theme. Nice big rooms and a really helpful staff.

Well, this was a quick intro... Next up: Killer whales, manatees, backstage tours and much much more :upsidedow

[Elfstar]

Looking forward to more!:yay:

[the_princess]

We did spend a couple of days (more like 5 days) at Seaworld, but I'm not going to put dates on the pics since I don't remember what we did when and how many times.
So instead of making long comments, I'll let the pics do the talking
Enjoy :upsidedow

First up: Manatees

This is my moms favourite. It has lost a part of the tail in a boat accident and can't be released back into the sea.

Backstage at Believe. It's quite similar to Dine with Shamu (the food is the same - and quite good as well) But at Backstage, they don't guarantee that there will be a killer whale in the pool. They show a "making of the show" video, and then you have reserved seats at the show. Quite good seats, but since the stadium was half empty, we moved down to the splash zone.
We were lucky cause they used our pool (which is the second deepest pool, the deepest is obviously the show pool) to warm up one of the whales.

[cswtmom]

Great photos, thanks for sharing :), can't wait for more to come

[the_princess]

I went to see Believe twice since I love killerwhales. My mom had enough after the first time so she went down to the manatees while I had some fun with Shamu.
I'm not a big fan of Believe, It's so much "believe in your dreams, you can do anything". I like Shamu Rocks, but back to that later.

The cute Baby-Shamu was born last time we went to Seaworld in March last year. I'll post one of my pics from when she was 4 days old later in the report. Does anyone knows her name, I can't remember and it's killing me!

An animal that scared me was the stingrays. To feed them you have to keep your hand with the fish underneath them so they can suck it up into the mouth. I don't know why but that was scary. Check out my very concentrated face

Clyde and Seamore take Pirate Island.... So much fun. We went twice just to see how much of the show they planned cause some of it looked very improvised... Well, it's not! But still a lot of fun.
Get there early so you won't miss this guy.

We went on two of the backstage tours. The first one was the predator's tour where you go backstage at the Shamu Stadium (which was why I wanted to go) and backstage at the shark encounter and get to touch a shark (this was why all the other families wanted to go)

Backstage at Shamu's stadium

Yes, this is the big, scary shark you get to touch

A huge thanks for reading!!!!!

Great report so far, thanks for sharing & the awesome photos! Can't wait to check it out next month!:cool1:

[the_princess]

Well, I think it's time for a new update. Once again thanks for reading, feel free to ask questions or leave comments.

Nexts up is the night show, Shamu Rocks. IMO this show is so much better then Believe. I loved the choice of music and the whales were amazing.
When I did the predator tour, I asked our guide if the whales were in any way disturbed by the loud music, cause it is a lot louder then at Believe. But she said that it didn't bother them. They could hear it and feel the vibes in the water but if it was hurting them in anyway they would refuse to do the tricks.

I booked the Save-a-species tour back home as a surprice for my mom since she loves manatees.
The tour is really worth the money. You get to go backstage at the rehabilitation area where they keep the wild animals that are going back out into the sea as soon as they are healthy enough.
The guide showed us all kind of things they use to help the animals, it was very interesting.
Dolphins

Dine with Shamu.
They did the show with the baby whale, Malia (thanks Oceanlove) It's was great to see her this close. Like I told earlier, we got to see her when she was 4 days old, so it was nice to see her again.

[snowbunny]

Great photos...what times approximately did your tours begin and end?

[hereyago]

Thanks for the pics and the report.

I took DD10 to SW about 4 years ago. We did the Predator tour and the touching the penguin one. She is really into animals. THe Predator tour was so cool because a few of us were waiting and our tour guide didnt come, but they sent over a actual orca trainer who started the tour telling us about how they can get the whales to come over and do medical exams.

our regular tour guide showed up, but before the trainer left, I asked for her to be in a picture with my DD. She knelt down beside my DD and I have the picture hanging up and there was a whale peaking his head out of the water in the background.

[the_princess]

The tour where on several times a day, 3 times for most days. Each tour takes about an hour.
I just had a look at the Seaworld homepage and I can't find the tours anywhere, so maybe they stopped doing them ... I hope not:confused3

What a great story. :goodvibes I'm glad that we did the tours, They are really worth the money.

[tink,too]

I've just found your report - it's great. :goodvibes

Loving your photos of the backstage tours, too. :)

[honeybee8200]

Thanks so much for doing this. I've seen so many WDW reports and its nice to see a Seaworld one. :thumbsup2

[the_princess]

Thanks for reading, I'll make an update in the next couple of days...:)

[Cindeegyrl]

Great report! We are going to Sea World in March and your pics just make me more excited to go. :)

Can't wait for the next installment! :thumbsup2

[Lizzy Lemon]

What's your opinion of Shamu Rocks vs Dine with Shamu. I'm drawn to Shamu Rocks for the priority seating for the show but I'm not sure whether they will be doing them this summer as nothing is on their web site about it at the moment.

[the_princess]

I haven't been to the Shamu Rocks dinner thing, only the show, but I guess that it's like Backstage at Believe where you watch a movie and get some info on the show while you eat. And then you are taken to the stadium. The seats are ok, but we moved down to better seats because the stadium wasn't full. You can't be sure that there's a whale in the pool at the Backstage /Rocks show. At Dine with Shamu you get to talk to the trainers and see the whales perform right infront of you.... I prefer Dine!!!

[beaches1098]

Did you get to take a pic with a whale at Dine with Shamu? I thought I read somewhere that that was one of the perks. Love your pics I am going to show them to the kids it will get them very excited about our visit coming up.

You don't interact with the whales at Seaworld, but you get to see them close up at Dine with Shamu, which is really amazing as well!

[the_princess]

This update will be a dolphin update.
Next up was the feeding of the dolphins. I didn't get that many pictures of the dolphins, they move quite fast, so they are not easy objects. Beside the last time we went to Seaworld I took about 100 pictures of them, so I didn't feel a big need to take pictures this time.

Of course we had to see Blue Horizons again. I’m not a big fan of this show, but it’s fun to see the dolphins play around.

This is me getting ready for the show

.
does Discovery Cove sell t shirts that say "I swam with the dolphins" or anything similar to that??

[the_princess]

Well, it's about time to end this report... Thanks to all of you for reading it and comment on it...

These pics are from the Wild Arctic. When we got down there a trainer came over and asked if we would mind if she did a little training session with the walrus. It meant that we couldn't get over to the window but had to stand further away. She kept apologizing for it but we loved the fact that we got to see the way they work with the animals.

I'll end this report with a couple of videos of Believe. They are taped with my kamera so they are not that good, but here you go ;)

Great report! :thumbsup2

[tink,too]

How wonderful to have been able to see one of the walrus training sessions. :goodvibes

I don't think we're going to SW this trip, so it was great seeing all your photos. I can't wait to visit SW again in 2010 because Manta will be open by then. :cool1:
