Living Seas - what should I make time for?

[Mousetopia]

I have not spent quality time here in many year. I remember divers in the tanks, arriving in a tube in the center, a dolphin show where they did it standing in front of the tank glass with hand signals...that was really neat! Do they still offer things like this? I know about the paid offerings. I am more interested in general admission.

Divers are in the tanks at times. I did the dive several years ago actually and it was a great experience. I haven't seen the dolphin show so can't comment on that. There is a Nemo ride that is cute and worthwhile especially for kids where you ride in a clam shell through the aquarium and the cartoon characters are in there with the real fish. Also, Turtle Talk with Crush is a cute experience that is worth doing. No FP is needed for either of these, even though FP is offered.

There are feeding times when the WDW divers will be in the tank but I'm not sure what those times are. People who paid to dive will also be in the tanks, it just catch as catch can. I don't know if they still do the tube thing. There is also manatee feeding times.

Definitely check out the Manatees. The feeding time will also have a little Q&A with one of the care staff. I love seeing the Manatees there. One of them was rescued after being hit by a boat. He has a gouge in his tail fin and cannot be released into the wild. There is some information about all that posted near the tank (upper level I think). They're so calming to watch.
