Florida, Parks & Swim with Dolphins with Steve, Michaela & Wendy

  Florida, Parks & Swim with Dolphins    


The parade was absolutely fantastic! From the Liberty Square, we watched all the floats pass us by with many of the favourite characters including  Mickey Mouse, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid!







At The Wizarding World of Harry Potter we went on a multi - dimensional thrill ride, Harry Potter and the Escape from the Gringotts. Everyone really enjoyed their adventure.







Today we were all really excited to go to Universe Studios! When we arrived we were greeted by Betty Boo for a photo and autograph followed by the Simpsons in Springfield. Then we went onto the Simpsons Ride which was great fun! 








As we arrived at The Animal Kingdom, we were greeted by Tarzan for a photograph  and autograph. We watched the Festival of the Lion King show in Africa.  Afterwards we decided to leave all our favourite characters and take a safari trip through the lush African Savanna in the search of lions, elephants and giraffes!








We were taking an Air-Boat Ride at Boggy Creek.  After meeting our driver, Jim, we rode into some breathtakingly beauty surroundings - territory that remained unaltered by man in the wilderness of the Central Florida Everglades. We drove through many wetlands and saw beautiful cypress trees and wildlife. We whisked across the surface of the water on our Air-Boat at speeds of up to 45mph while shooting between walls of tall grass.  It was a trip of a lifetime!  






When we arrived back at the Boggy Creek, we got the chance to hold a baby alligator! The guide gave us a talk about native American Indians and how they used to live.  






We went to Disney Cove to swim with the dolphins.  We arrived and our first stop was to the aviary -where we got the birds feeding out of our hands. We all then got ready to swim with the dolphins. Our guide took us into the water to meet our first dolphin - Hutch. We fed him small fish and he did some tricks for us. We then took turns by holding onto his flipper and fin as he gracefully pulled us along through the water. We had our photos taken with Hutch but then it was time to say goodbye. We took our snorkels to the pools and looked at the amazing rays and brightly coloured fish as they swam up to us.









At the SeaWorld Park our first ride was Mata - a twisting racing roller-coaster. We then went on to watch the Clyde & Seamore sea-lion show - we all laughed at the fun games that they played! It was then time for the show we had all been waiting for - the Shamu show; where some killer whales did amazing tricks for us!
