Atlantis Excursions

[tspooh]

Hi! We want to visit Atlantis, but are not interested in using the pools/beach area. We are debated between seeing it on our own or booking the Disney Cruise excursion. I'm not sure if I have the information correct, but I believe in order to see the whole aquarium (Dig Site??) you have to purchase a ticket for $25. Also, it's $8 pp roundtrip for a taxi (we've done this before). The DCL excursion is $33 pp and states you'd take a ferry to Paradise Island, tour Atlantis (including Discovery Tour(?). Would this be a better deal? Do you think this "Discovery Tour" includes the Dig Site? Also, would the ferry over to the island be different than the standard "water taxi" (a nightmare!!). Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed any light on this!
