Pros: Very informative, a great way to get up close to the dolphins
Cons: None

This was such an incredible experience. EPCOT is my favorite place in the World, so I was hesitant to spend 3 hours on a tour while my family rode Mission Space and Test Track without me. I'm so glad I did, though.


After learning about the four dolphins at EPCOT and the research facility at the Seas pavilion, we got to watch one of the dolphins participate in a research project. We had front row seats for the demonstration, and I happened to be seated next to our tour guide--she was able to answer all my questions during the presentation, and it was wonderful to have so much knowledge right at my fingertips.


Then, we were taken to a locker room to change into wetsuits. We went up to the tank (which is incredible, in and of itself!) and got to meet to of the dolphins. Some of the trainers came to help us, and they coached us through hand signals to have the dolphins do bows, flips, blow bubbles, vocalize, wave, and all sorts of other tricks. We each had a picture taken with a dolphin.


Disney never fails to impress me with their ability to create magic, but this was truly over the top. I would do the tour again in a heartbeat!

Pros: very informative
Cons: none

This tour was excellent! My daughter and her friend wanted to do this tour they needed a parent so I joined them. I wasn't so sure I was going to enjoy this but was very surprised. The dolphin interaction was great we got to pet or rub down the dolphins and then we were taught some hand signals. Of course we had our pics taken with the dolphins. We also watched research being done. We had front row seats being part of the tour. Before getting in the water the guide talked about conservative and how marine life needs to be respected. Excellent tour would recommend to anyone!
