Hi, loved the trip report! We're planning the same cruise for May/08, and our girls will be almost 6 and almost 8 at the time, so I'm very interested in the info about your DD especially. I have a few questions about the excursions if you don't mind:
For the dolphin encounter, you mentioned booking an early time and staying at the park for the day...is there an admission price to the park, or would that be included with the dolphin encounter price?
Did your DD have any fear of the dolphin? My girls can be a little fearful of animals sometimes (but they love Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, etc, so they are definitely not chickens!) I'd love to do the dolphin encounter, but it would be disappointing if they were scared. What was your experience with that?
If you do the excursion through Disney, the entrance fee to the park and cab rides are included.
YOu can also book the excursion directly through the park online. If you do that, you will have to pay the entrance fee and your cab ride (cab was $10 for 3 people).
As far as being afraid, no way, I cant see how any child would be afraid of the dophin. They are so well trained and kind animals. YOur DDs will love them!
Thanks! You're so nice for posting the additional dolphin pictures. I think we'll do the dolphin excursion for sure. I'm going to try and limit the number of excursions, since I'm trying to make this a "slow down and relax" type vacation as opposed to the last two years at WDW!! We'll see. But it's good to know which excursions shouldn't be missed.
