I am going to try to narrate this adventure. We got to orlando at around 8:30 monday morning(about hour and 1/2 from home), had breakfast at McD's and on the way to Sea World!!
DAY ONE:
We were like the first ppl there on monday morning. Got right in and checked in for dinner with Shamu. We had 4 days there, so we didnt want to DO EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. We made a plan, and stuck to it....spread out the enitre park over a 4 day span. YES, we were there each day. Well, straight to feed the dolphins. I SWEAR, we were the ONLY AMERICANS in that park all week long. The english and brits were fantastic, but the ppl that did NOT speak english were VERY VERY RUDE. No biggie, Ahhh, then we went to feed and touch the stingrays in their large petting pool. Kinda played with these guys for a while. then FREE BEER. Anheiser Busch is the theme parks owner(just like Busch gardens) well, they have a Hospitality Center, with an option to sign up for a free Brewmaster's beer tasting(more on that later) They allow 3 free beers a day! any A.B. beers, of course all the budweisers, and all the micholob's, and some I have never heard of, and now a true favorite, Bareknuckle Stout? mmmmmm sooooo good. well, had a beer, took a walk. Left to check into the hotel around 2pm, WOW, i will put pictures of this up in a few minutes. 2 story penthouse suite at a Residence Inn Mariott, TOTALLY CHOICE!!!! showered up for our perfect dinner with shamu. We sat at our table which was right on the ropes, seperated by some rocks, then HIS 50 degree pool!! Very cool this was, ALL FREE BEER, again!!!Within the hour we sucked down 3 each, hey, GOTTA GET OUR MONEYS WORTH! Dinner was served Southern style foods, in a buffet fasion. REAL mac n cheese, roast turkey and chicken, garlic mashed pot. w/gravy. DESERTS, and this Banana's Foster Flambe...WOW THE MOST AMAZING DESERT I HAVE EVER TRIED. Shamu is doing his "show off moves" while we eat, and we got to meet some trainers, very very cool, MUST DO WITH KIDS TOO. fun for all ages. Dinner over, grab free beer #2 from Hospitality center, then run back to SHamu stadium for Believe show! THAT WAS FUN! didnt get wet thought, YET.

DAY 2 coming soon!

tippMANn98 · 05-04-2008, 03:40 PM

DAY 2:
Well, after a very very busy day one...we woke up, and were at the front gates by 9:15. its tuesday, THE DAY OF OUR SHARK DIVE!!!! had to meet the dive coordinator at 1:55, signed up for the brewmaster club for 12:15, checked out the sharks exhibit, and the penguins. Well then, the Brewmasters club...Here you get to sample 4 different beers from 4 categories, light, medium, dark, and fruity. usually about 4-5 choices in each group, when you pick your beer, they pair it with a food type, I had Bud Extra(like raspberries, paired with a strawberry) WOW gonna buy a 6 pack of that! Then had Mich. ultra-amber, paired with smoky mont. jack cheese, never thought these could be SOOOO GOOD TOGETHER!! Then, I picked Land Shark Lager(supposedly only out here in FL) this one blew my mind, a spicy jalapeno baby swiss.....MY NEW FAVORITE COMBO, spicy foods, and Land Shark Lager. then had an Amberbock to finish it all off. We leave the club, and...did I mention FREE BEER, grabbed a fresh from the draught, fresh brewed, Irish American (Bareknuckle stout floated ontop of BUD, amazing, never thought of mixing beer either!!!) TRY IT SOME TIME!

OFF TO THE SHARK DIVE.
This was funny, the dive instructor was talking blah blah, about the helmets and wet suits, then she was like "any questions about the sharks?" Danielle said, he knows all there is to know about them (sharks were my first passion as a child, still have a book that i got when I was 7) Well, she said then we will go straight to a quiz. Are sharks fish or mammals? COME ONE LADY, thats easy! next, WHY....duhhhhhhhh, cold blooded, gills, any more reasons? It was funny, I hit everything she threw at me!!!

Off to the pool, I looked HOT in that wetsuit!! so did danielle

70 degree water....WHOOO, im from FL we dont go into the water until its at least 85 degrees!!!!! Oh well, It was soooo cool, you travel along in this cage, back and forth infront of the underwater shark tunnel, waving to people, while the 6 and 7 ft sand tiger sharks are coming within TOUCHING distance. Very Very cool...about 45 minutes underwater. With a full helmet, with radio comm. weighed about 15 lbs underwater, STILL TOTALLY AWESOME!
Out of the shark tank, and back, FREE BEER #2!!!! then head on back to the Wild arctic ride....really really fun buzzed!

Shark Dive picture, cage is in the background.

Day 3 to follow.

Then FREE BEER. head back to Journey to Atlantis Ride. I am NOT BIG ON RIDES, especially roller coaster rides. Anybody been on this? I was FLIPPING OUT!!! The really big drop OMG, I felt like the car was off the tracks near the bottom of the hill. Then it takes you back up, into the dark, and there is a sign saying "brace for hard impact at the bottom of the hill, I was like, thats a little late. Then The darkness opened up, and We were staring down a banked 50 degree hill that goes up and to the right, AAAAAHHHHHHH, had to change my pants!! JK, it was fun though, got wet, and was VERY COLD. Whew, after that, IM NOT GOING ON THE Roller Coaster the Kraken, Danielle did though. Whew, dodged a bullet there! Then we HAD to get blessed by Shamu, 4th row from the glass should get us good and wet. OH YEA, woke up with that 50 degree water!!!! COLD AND WET NOW...need something to warm us up. FREE BEER!!

DAY 4:

We didnt do much this day. We had to check out from the hotel. so we did, and off to Sea World for a consecutive 4th day in a row. AWESOME. Day four was to be our "shopping" day. We traveled the entire park, and came home with 12 shot glasses, all with different animals or different things we did. And among other things, 2 pearls that were harvested from live oyster that we picked out. and just some other junk that is now cluttering up the kitchen area. WE HAD A BLAST, great time. look for my ceremony pics, they will be coming soon.
