A superb show of acrobatics from the animals and their trainers. Some people question this sort of activity but the facilities and the love for the animals shown by the trainers is excellent .
Look out for the specially selected member of the audience as well.

This is a definate must see. Who would have thought an animal as big as a Killer Whale could jump so high. BEWARE though, what goes up must come down, and when SHAMU comes down you are likely to get a good soaking if you are sat in the front few rows.
Shamu the Killer Whale performs all kinds of tricks with his handler, it is amazing to watch as he jumps, twists, spins and splashes around.

This gives you an opportunity to get close to some fish from the seabed and touch them. I`m not sure what sort of rays they are but you can get close to them if they want to get close to you.
Also on show are some baby rays.

Sea World: Manatee up close and personal

Tip Rating: |

See a resident of Florida up close without endangering it. The Manatee is a beatiful animal but is in danger of extinction through no fault of its own. Propellors on boats are the main cause of death for the Manatee in the wild but here you can see them safe in a close replica of their natural habitat.
They look as though they would be big and clumsy animals but they just seem to glide through the water effortlessly.
The Manatee eats greenery and when they are fed at Sea World you can see their noses out of the water searching around for food on the surface of their pool.
KILL YOUR SPEED NOT THE MANATEE

*FREE BEER* yes thats right, at Sea World Orlando you can taste beer for nothing as it is owned by Anhauser Busch the company that makes Budweiser. The down side is you aren't allowed to drink too much (yeah right) and the stronger the beer the smaller the serving you get. Some are quite nice but others are downright horrible, but who am I to complain when I didn't have to pay for the round.

This area is broken up into eleven different countries:Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, Canada and the American Adventure.
Something different awaits you at each showcase whether it is a 360 degree cinema presentation, Japanese drummers, museum, ride through the countries history or stage shows. Something unusual happens in each world.
When we went there was a food exhibition on where you could sample the various foods of each nation.
At night the lake and countries are lit up by the IllumiNations firework and laser display which is well worth the entrance fee alone.

The centre piece of the United Kingdom section of World Showcase is The Rose and Crown a 'traditional' English pub where you can eat and drink traditional English products. Makes you feel as if you are back home in a pub anywhere in England.
Don't forget though that the age of consent for drinking alcohol is 21 in America not 18 like it is in England.
Outside of the pub there is a red telephone box of the kind that could be found all over Britain.
Street entainers, Morris Dancers and even a 60`s tribute band in the style of the Beatles can be found in this area, along with shops selling British products and souvenirs.

In China you are treated to a "flight" around Chinas countryside, viewing everyday life and the people of the country. Of course you don`t really fly anywhere, you stand in a 360 degree cinema for Reflections of China. As well as the film there are Dragon Dancers, muscians and beautiful Chinese buildings and gardens.

I used to live in Lakeland, FL back in the early 60's when I was a kid. Its only about 35 miles from Orlando, but it was a swamp then. I enjoyed DW when I took my stepson about 6 years ago... | sarahjayn Mon Jun 27, 2005 16:06 UTC
