Disney Addict Junkie: PARK TOUR

SeaWorld Orlando

Welcome to SeaWorld! I know this place does have a reputation and stories, but despite it all I love coming here! Some days I love being here than being at Disney. Main reason for my love is having a chance to get up close with different animals such as Orcas, Dolphins and Sea Lions. I love everything about it. As for the rides, well we don't do the coasters and haven't done anything more than the small rides at Sesame Street. Overall we love it here. For me it brings be back to my childhood, coming here with my family. Also I had the chance to apologize to Shamu after I pushed him as a little kid. He forgave me. Memories that will be in my heart forever. Also the seagull that stole my churro on the bridge. Well 20+ years later I went back to that spot with a churro, the bird never showed. Overall such a fun place to be. The events that are offered are really great, from Ice Skating shows at Christmas to Electric Ocean to getting to go backstage and see the shark tank from above, so many amazing experiences. So let's dive right into the tour!

Alligators

We start our tour with the American Alligators.

Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin

Let's head to one of the coldest parts of Florida year-round. Actually very refreshing to get out of the heat and in here. The ride is really fun and the ending is amazing when you come face to face with a ton of Penguins!

Caricatures

How about a funny drawing of yourself? This stand is located right near Atlantis next to the bathrooms.

Dolphin Cove & Encounter

Now days you can pay to touch the dolphins, but I could of swore when I was a kid you were able to touch them for free anytime.

Dolphin Nursery

This was always my first spot on any visit. I'd come right over and blow kisses to the dolphins. Such a fun experience to watch them react to me.
