Freshwater Oasis Update -- Info from Guest relations.

Here is a response to my inquiry asking when Freshwater Oasis would be open

Hi Wendy,
We still haven't been told an opening date, but I know that they are getting the animals acclimated to their habitat, so it has to be soon. Keep your fingers crossed that this silly Tropical Storm doesn't bring weather delays to the project...

I do think you will be fine with an August 5 date though. It just can't take that much longer!

So it sounds pretty soon!

I hope so! Our visit is August 21st. It's our first visit so I guess it's not the end of the world if it's not open yet as there will be plenty to do still...but I have been talking it up to the kids when I first learned about it and I know we will be disappointed if it's not open yet PLEASE LET IT BE OPEN LOL!!!!!

[Debs Hill]

ha! ha! They really should get their story straight at guest relations.......
I sent an e-mail and got the following response....
" Whilst there is no firm date for the opening of Freshwater Oasis, if I had to guess I would say that you will be safe with a visit the second week of July. Construction was delayed due to the rain we have had but it won't be much longer now"

Go figure???

Deb, I like your answer! Interesting to know that one previous poster was told they could actually get a refund with no penalty. I cut and pasted that response into my information file in case we ever changed our minds. It is all a matter of who you talk to I guess. I really feel for everyone who made reservations under the assumption the oasis would be open. You got to figure, although there is a lot of great stuff to do, (reef, stingray pool, aviary, lazy river) and the dolphin swim if you pay for it, people who bought the tickets to go to the oasis are out 1/5 of their entertainment value. Hopefully, it seems very soon.

On another note, if the Marmosets (sp monkeys) are above you in the oasis, what is to prevent, ahhhhh bodily fluids from dropping down underneath? Sorry if TMI but just wondering.
