Our day at Discovery Cove!
It was a overcast day, but great none-the-less. We arrived at about 7:30 and they were allowing us to go ahead in and get our suits/vests and lockers. The dolphin swim was amazing and I had booked the Deluxe Birthday Package for dd who was turning seven that day. She loved it when Tyler brought her a special treat with her name on it and it made for quite an emotional moment. Although, I got my knee pretty banged up from one of the big rocks in the lagoon! I always get hurt!!
It basically rained the entire day....I mean RAIN..not drizzle.. so it made snorkling in the sting ray and coral reef areas not doable! It was just too cold and no matter how many times we tried to just go for it and just walk right into the water in hopes our bodies would get used to...it didn't happen. My daughter was actually turning blue...so, that was a bit of a bummer. There was a lot of stuff we didn't see due to the cold, cold, cold water! But, the snorkling in the river was AMAZING and we did it for hours on end.
The warm mosaic showers they have around are life savers...both for a quick warm up and for putting on those tight spring suits!! The staff are wonderful and treat you so good.
The only thing that went wrong was the DVD. Because we booked the Birthday Package we were to get a DVD with Audio and they couldn't locate the footage from our group. The guy videotaping our dolphin swim coded it into the wrong area so they couldn't find it. When they did find it they could only burn me a normal copy with music over the experience. They said they would mail me the correct copy in a few days.
It was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives and we hope to do it again. One note..I would recommend water shoes. There were people all over with bandages on their feet from the rough terrain under the water.
SW was INCREDIBLE as well and Believe rocked me to my core. I actually teared up a few times. We did the Adventure Express tour and well worth the money. Would book it again in a heartbeat. A MUST DO!
