Manatees

[avincent]

Does anyone know if there is still Manatees at Epcot?

 

[kbmartin]

As of August last year, yes! We happened to see them at feeding time. They were quite excited to have some lettuce.

 

[Hezzy04]

Yep, they are still there!!

Thank you guys! We were going to skip Epcot this year as we are only doing a short 3 day 4 night trip Dec 20-24 but my 9 year old son loves manatees and I didn't even know they were there until I googled places to take him to see him but there wasn't anything dated after 2014.

I assume you only have to worry about them if your are on a 3 day trip, they are your son's new obsession,and you are the kind of mom that You know actually likes to make their kids dreams come true.

Other than that I would say no don't worry about them.

Yep! I was there in December and May and they were there both times

Yes, we saw them during our trip in May. I love manatees, too. They are so beautiful and so much fun to watch. I hope your son gets the opportunity to see them and has a wonderful time. There are manatees at Sea World also.

We just saw them a few weeks ago, my girls loved watching them!

Only if your kids don't listen to you when you tell them to stay away from the water they are in.

Why do I keep hearing about things I've never heard of, Disney-wise, this month?

Yep, they're in the aquarium where the Nemo ride comes out. You can go into the aquarium without riding Nemo, but I think it's a cute ride and it's never a long wait, so I just ride it to get in the right mindset. They also have sharks and dolphins in there too. It's a pretty neat aquarium.

If you ever have time to go exploring Fl THIS is a great place to see Manatees in the wild. It's also close to Kennedy Space Center.

We love the manatees too! You will not be sorry if you send time in The Living Seas Exhibit. There is a lot to see and plenty to learn.

If you are there, you might as well start with the Nemo attraction, explore the exhibit and then end with Turtle Talk with Crush.

My husband is a helo pilot and could see pods of them when we lived in FL. He has another term for them....I love them. Very gentile creatures.

The sad thing is we have probably walked by them several times when at Epcot and have never saw them! We were going to skip Epcot this year but now I think I will do a few hours there and then head to HS.

"Lou" seems to be a lifer at Living Seas. The second manatee in the tank comes and goes every couple years, but I'm thinking Lou may have been around for as long as a decade now.

 

[MsMamaBear]

Yes, we loved seeing them! I almost skipped it because I go to our aquarium in Atlanta and didn't think I'd see anything new. Wrong! My daughter was SO excited!
