Dhs or seaworld?

[Puffy2]

I really prefer HS. I've been to SeaWorld about three times and always left underwhelmed.

Seaworld, hands down.
DHS might be worth a few hours but Seaworld, with all the shows, the penguin experience, the sea turtle building and other stuff will keep you busy all day, even if you leave out the thrill rides. Living Seas at Epcot can't hold a candle to all that Seaworld offers. Plus you can take pride in the knowledge that part of your admission will go to helping Seaworld continue to do wildlife rescues and rehabilitations.

Part of the admission is also enabling SeaWorld to continue to make their whales' lives miserable.

I wish I could visit some of the other SeaWorld locations, but I am never in TX or CA. I wish they still had their Aurora, OH location, but it makes a lot of sense that a northern location had a lot of limitations.

We've been to all three Sea World locations and I would say that the one in California is by far the prettiest. The setting is amazing.

They had an OH location? I never knew that. Yeah, that could be a problem with the winters.

The California one is really lovely (can't beat that location!) but I like the layout of the Florida one around the lake, so pretty!

Arwen, it's unfortunately the core strategy of the PETA crowd that is trying to infiltrate the DIS. They search for any Sea World thread on this site and do everything possible to get it shut down.

Yes, some people are very passionate about animals, PETA or not. I do wonder how WDW seems to evade so much criticism with their dolphins in that crummy tank?

I would be so happy if WDW would donate those dolphins and manatees to SeaWorld. I believe SeaWorld would give them a better life there.

It must have been a pain to transport the animals. This location just seemed totally bizarre.

Now I want to go to Cali!!

No, they would be just as miserable, if not moreso, at Sea World. The answer is not transferring these animals from one crappy enclosure to another. The humane thing to do is to somehow find a way to release them in to the wild.

You should! We had a wonderful time in San Diego if that would be new for you. Both Sea World and the San Diego Zoo were very nice.

Are they happier just because they currently live at Disney World?! They would be more miserable at SW? What basis do you say that?!

And have you seen the manatee with no tail??? How's it supposed to make it free in the wild?

I think we have all our own opinions and points of view but I prefer to make my OWN opinion and I don't agree with people arbitrarily deciding everything for other people!

Walter Palmer, don't you have a dentist clinic to run?

That reference is lost on me.

I most definitely would like a SoCal vacation. I'd even drive there from NY... I don't think the Grand Canyon gets fogged over, does it?

That is a long drive!!! I wonder how long that would take particularly with stops.

California itself just explodes with stuff to do. Our only goals were Disneyland and SeaWorld initially but we tried to pack in as much as possible. We visited Knotts Berry Farm and the zoo and I had to see the Queen Mary and the so-called most haunted house in America too. I'm weird that way.

I'd love to see the Grand Canyon. (I don't know about fog.) And Yellowstone and Yosemite and the Tetons and on and on and on...

No, Grand Canyon doesn't get foggy. Now San Diego.. you betcha!

I can't imagine driving there, but you guys are the kings of the road trip! San Diego is a great place to visit though, including SeaWorld, Legoland, the beach of course. The only danger is it's so beautiful you may not want to leave

We did that drive when I was about 10 or 11? We drove from.ny to northern ca (stopping at places along the way, like Yellowstone). When we got to san francisco, we explored there and then drove down the CA coast stopping in Monterey, hearst's castle, etc. we ended the trip with Disneyland and san Diego. I can't remember how long the trip was. I'll have to ask my family if they remember. It was an *awesome** vacation, though!

Eta: I'm pretty sire we drove the southern route coming home, so we did see the grand canyon and such as well..
