Visiting Disney anything cool to check out?

[edwardw771]

I am coming down to Disney next week and I am way into this reef stuff. Are there any cool stores to check out?

Check out the restaurant in Epcot that has the GIANT Tanks in it while you dine. Called the living seas.

Definite vote for Living Seas: you won't want to leave. And have lunch at the English pub, my fave. I spent most of my time at Epcot. Never got to see the new animal park---that may be worth a trip.

Dont forget to stop by the land at epcot and check out there hydroponic greenhouses. Some of the best on earth.

I should have posted that I checked out Epcot last time I went down. is there anything else?

SeaWorld!!! They dont have impressive reef tanks but they got all sorts of other sea animals.

You could arrange a sashay through the Georgia Aquarium on your way back. It's called 'open jaw' airfare, I think.

For cool LFS there is Sea in the City and Ocean Blue and Aquarium Studio. Not too far from Disney area, but definitely a drive. Benefits of Aquarium Studio in particular is that there is a lot of shopping in the area so you'd have things to do for your family.

As a side note, I was not impressed with Epcot's Living Seas at all. An appalling percentage of the inhabitants in the large fish display are suffering from advanced cases of HLLE. It was very sad. Their other exhibits within the Living Sea were alright.

I dont know if your here yet, but Sea in the City is good, Ocean Blue is good. Those are the best stores I think in Orlando. For night life I suggest downtown Orlando for night clubs, Cowboys on thursday night for ladies night, or Jesse Blacks on sat. night for free beer. Same at Cowboys on sat. night. Both are country bars.

Ehh. Ocean Blue's corals are marginal and prices ridiculous, if you're coming into town on a visit don't waste your time..

My wife tells me that we will be watching the game from our seats in Dolphin Stadium! I told her to make sure they get there first then we will figure out how the heck we will come up with the cash for those seats!

Have you ever been to the Journey of Atlantis and seen the reef tanks in the sovenier shop? The big one is awesome, probably about 1000 or more gallons. Big enough they have to clean it with a snorkel and mask. I would definately call it impressive

If they make it to Super Bowl I may just have to fly back down and scalp some tickets myself. And Yes I've see the Sea World tanks. They do look cool.
