Thursday 18th January 2007: Seaworld
This morning Laura and I went to Downtown Disney because Virgin was shut last night and we both wanted to get something. Then at 1230 I met with Carla and Celsey and we went to Seaworld. At Seaworld you pay for one day and you get the rest of the year free, so bought the combination ticket that adds on Bush Gardens, which I’m really looking forward to going to, as they have some excellent rides.
The first thing we did was to walk round to the ray pool and touched them and they feel so weird, but I still kept touching them. Then we walked round to see the Dolphins
but they have changed it and there is going a small area that you can touch the Dolphins, but it is at the end of the pool and away from the feeding area, so they don’t come up to you. It a way of Seaworld making the tourist buy the fish to feed the Dolphins and to touch them.
Then we watched the Blue Horizons Show at the Whale and Dolphins theatre and it was excellent and they have changed it since the last time I was here and it was even better. This time they even included parrots and eagles. Then we watched the Clyde and Seamore show, which was really funny. We left there and watched these two gorgeous dives collecting oysters from the bottom of the tank and then walked round to Kraken, which is an excellent ride and we all really enjoyed.
On our way to watch the Believe show with Shamu we all got an ice cream, I had vanilla ice cream with a hot fudge sauce and chocolate sprinkles, which was really good. Then we watched the show and it was very good and it was a new show but I remember the show before being better before. In the evening Celsey came round to mine and I cooked us dinner and then we watched Princess Diary 2, chatted and went on the internet.
