They let so many people in the park that the seating for animal shows were filled over an hour before showtime. What did we get for our $80 in tickets? We looked at two animal exhibits, ate lunch, and went home.

It makes me feel that I made the right choice back in 1992 when I had two job offers at the same time: a dolphin trainer (for minimum wage) or a research tech (for a real salary). I always wondered how my life would have been different had I chosen the dolphin trainer job.

I looked at the zoo website and they still have a bird show but I can't tell if the approach is the same or if they have pointlessly incorporated costumed humans since my last visit.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235581646855322094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-31824192702142554802011-08-16T09:13:27.286-04:002011-08-16T09:13:27.286-04:00When we visited Sea World in Orlando a few years a...When we visited Sea World in Orlando a few years ago, we watched "Believe!", the orca (Shamu!) show.

Remind me not to visit!<br /><br />I'm a Disney kid. I have been to Disney World (not land) 15 times since 1992. I absolutely love that place. My favorite Disney World parks are, in order, EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. If I had to skip one park when visiting it would be Animal Kingdom, but the other 3 are must sees for me. I really have never had any desire to spend large amounts of time and money at other amusement parks, although I do go to other amusement parks. Disney, though, is for me! We're going there for Thanksgiving...can't wait. <br /><br />Try to enjoy the rest of your vacation, and stay away from hot tubs that drunk people are enjoying.
