Hi Java!
"thanks for posting your photos! They were great and I will use that Shamu tattoo sheet in my own little creative way! Thank you so much."
Good! That is exactly what I was hoping for! I have lots of what I call "Disney Paper", in a big box- everything from every visit! LOL! I have to put up an album of all that sort of stuff sometime. I do my "scrapbooking" electonically, so wasnt aware of that whole thing which seems to be pretty big! So if I can make some use of all this stuff I've saved...
"Oh and I forgot to add that now I think we have to go to Seaworld again. I had convinced myself that we just couldn't do it this time(we have 4 children and it is a big $$ zapper) but New show may just make us go again!"
It will be worth it! When I first went to SW in 95, I never planned on going again- it was kinda blah! The shows at that time were like amatuerish school produtcions, and not even good ones. And the only ride was Wild Arctic (which is good, but worth a days admisson??) I did enjoy the animals, but again, worth a day's admission? Then I sorta had to go about a year ago to accompany a friend, and what a change! Of course, they have added Atlantis, which is simply a beautiful structure and I have spent many shots trying to get *the shot* and that is probably its best feature (could use a lot more in the middle of the ride, though what is there is fine, but definitely needs more) and Kraken, which is just as good as Hulk, but the main thing is the shows, with Blue Horizons opening last year which is just fantastic and gets better with each viewing, and now the new Shamu show, which is worth both the day's admission and the whole trip all by itself! I have never seen such overall improvement in an operation of any sort in so short a time! Definitely a must see park now!
Search around for discount tickets at vendors or special offers, and also note, for those to whom it might apply, that there is a massive discount for handicapped people! And you can also get an AP at 15 or 8 a month depending on whether you sign up for one or two years, which includes free parking (which is now up to 10 bucks a day! Yikes)
Unbelievable as it seems, I have talked to young children who claim that they prefer SW to even MK! I think they were just trying to mess with me, but they seemed genuine. And the kids do like the animals... I like the penguins myself- watch them for twenty or thirty mintues each visit- there is a non-moving viewing area up behind the moving sidewalk so you can stay and watch- they are comical!
Enough!
