Hi, have you been to Discovery Cove? Although pricey, looks fun.

Hi, have you been to Discovery Cove? Although pricey, looks fun.

We didn't go previously as DS2 was younger. Now that the boys are older, we have DD who is terrified of contacts with live animals and also too young for some activities. So I'm still not sure if we'll do this. Because it'll mean that DH goes with the boys and DD and I do something else.

In terms of dolphin contact, while we have not swam with dolphins, we have petted and hand fed dolphins. The boys have also now done snorkeling in the sea, so really not sure..........

DS has never done snorkeling before although he has interaction with the dolphins at Seaworld Gold Coast...thought it would be good for him to do snorkeling in more \"contained\" environment like in Discovery Cove. As for me, I am like your DD, I don't enjoy coming into contact with animals :oops: , a lot of times it is because DS likes it, so I will \"drag\" myself to go for it ...sigh...the things mothers will do for their children.

Miracle Child,

Your question about DC prompted me to discuss with DH again. The boys also want to do this rather than Seaworld. DD was interested in the My Disney girl's princess tea party but I didn't really want to pay USD260+ for a mother and daughter session even though it is very exclusive interaction with Sleeping Beauty and reviews are wonderful. So now DH and I thought that perhaps we should just let her do that, so it's a mother and daughter bonding time for us while DH and the boys will do the Discovery Cove with dolphin swim. Guys bonding for them :).

These 2 activities are going to cost a bomb (USD1000 in total?) :yikes: Hopefully they are worth it :). But I'm still worrying about weather since we need to prebook a day for DC and what if it gets too cold that day???? :nailbite: Decisions decisions! :?

If you don't like animals, then maybe this can be your shopping day and your DH and DS can go do it! Hahaha

Miracle Child and hypergatak,

Thought i'll just update both of you. I just spoke to Disney reservation abt additional Magical Express tags. They said that for International visitors, they no longer send the ME tags. What we are suppose to do now is to give our luggage tags (given to us at checkin) to the ME counter at MCO and they will retrieve those bags for us. This seems to be a different procedure then what we experienced previously in 2007 when they sent us the ME tags. Oh well, we'll wait and see. If no tags come, we'll do as they suggest.
