- Alvarez Martinez10 contributionsWe reserved a day here as a family of four, which included the dolphin swim. We spent the entire day having a blast. The fact that the meal was all-inclusive meant that we didn't have to pay more for food or beverages that day.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jaimee J5 contributionsWe had a really nice day at SeaWorld, polar opposite to our very unimpressive visit to Busch gardens.
I will start with the negatives: parking was $32 and that’s pretty high for basic parking with no cover. The prices have been hiked up very high on food and drinks just like Busch ($23 for just a pretzel and a dippin dots icecream, $23 total for a full day drink cup and the drink stations were few and far between which was frustrating. Most also didn’t have the frozen drink option which was my whole reason for buying it which was disappointing) and to rent a mobility scooter or wheelchair was extortionate just like Busch gardens so I lugged my disabled chronically ill self around the park today on foot and almost passed out at one point from exhaustion and heat but I wasn’t giving them over $100 for a scooter or $30 for an uncomfortable manual chair, that’s daylight robbery and a blatant cash grab taking advantage of the disabled and sick. The shows have also been scaled back since we last visited and were not as impressive.
That being said we still had a pretty good day. Everyone we spoke to was super friendly and helpful. They let our elderly travellers refill their water bottles with cold water from the freestyle drink stations which was really nice and necessary in the heat to keep everyone healthy and safe.
The shows while being scaled down were still very impressive and enjoyable to watch.
The absolute highlight of our visit was the Sesame Street parade! That was such a fun and enjoyable part of our visit and everyone young and old was having a good time.
The performers deserve a raise for putting on such a great show in that heat! They had such great energy and they all seemed to love what they were doing. It was really fun and engaging and even our very tired and grumpy toddler was smiling, excited and enjoying the show. Can’t praise those performers enough for how fantastic they were! We left Busch gardens so disappointed and swearing not to return but our SeaWorld visit we left talking about what a fun day we had and what a great show they put on in sesame street!
Sadly we couldn’t take our toddler in the splash pad area as the sun was out and there was no shade at all, a shade sail over the top to protect the little ones skin and keep them a little cooler would be a great addition but otherwise, that area is really fun and a great addition for the little ones.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The lines for the water slides were much shorter. The wave pool was warm, the pavement was not hot, and the snacks of Mickey ice cream was ideal. Since evenings in Central Florida are so warm, it was very comfortable going around in a swimsuit. We can't wait to go back next year.Written July 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Stephen TPreston, UK20,059 contributionsI like Blizzard beach. It isn't as popular as Volcano Bay but it being a little less busy is part of the attraction.
Free parking.
Excellent coffee.
Some excellent food choices and ...
Relatively cheap lockers !
Ideal for all the family.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We chose to let them take the photos so we could enjoy our time with the animals. They took great pics and video of our family. The animals came to us to be petted, animals are well cared for and happy. Staff is great and make the experience wonderful. Loved all the animals, highly recommend this adventure.

- kevin cOrlando, FL2 contributionsVisited here today for the first time, as a gift for my son.
A brilliant experience in the pouring rain, the new brit guy Dan was great with my son and his cousin.
We're looking forward to returning soon.Written March 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MassiveDisneyFan11 contributionsAbsolutely amazing ride. It might not be the most intense coaster. It doesn't have the biggest drops. It isn't the fastest.
But what it has, is the right amount of everything and it delivers what no coaster so far has come close to offering.
Me and my family went on it and we all came off grinning and laughing. Even my wife who typically hates coaster absolutely loved this. Yes, she screamed the entire way around it. But she came off with a grin so big and said "I want to go back on".Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So fast and smooth. Well worth going on. Even my 9 year old loved it.
Queues can be lengthy tho so be prepared tho it’s all indoors with AC when you wait.
Lockers for all property and you need go through a metal detector before riding.Written July 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you’d like to save yourself time, just book this!! But, if you’re like me and countless other Disney planners, you will read every word and then some. (and then still book it but knowledge is power!)
1. The excursion is so much fun and informative! My 14 year old (age mentioned for valid reasons… #teenager) son put this at the top of his experiences in our week at Disney. The guides are personable and entertaining and their ease in what they do make the time go by so fast while setting the experience itself apart. They take you to spots where you can get up close and personal with animals as well as AK Caretakers who you may already know from their tv show! (Seriously watch that during your Disney countdown. It’s great!)
2. It’s a wonderful way to get away from the crowds while still being in the park…and you’re more in the park than anyone else gets to be! The groups are small and you really do feel like you’re on your own safari when really you’re in a bougie zoo (those animals are so lucky!). You enjoy every minute of your few hours and you walk away feeling like you truly experienced AK.
3. The lunch is perfect! While dining is probably also something you’re going back and forth in your plans on, it’s so nice to get to sit in a wonderful location, gazing at elephants and giraffes and eating food perfectly prepared without you asking or ordering or waiting for your name to be called. While I give lots of props to a lot of the thematic meals we had on our trip, this light dish was honestly one of my favorites.
4. A lot of excursions are experiences you do once and then don’t feel the need to do again but I think this trek will be our annual addition to our days in AK. Book it!Written June 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However, when we were walking by to go to Galaxy's Edge, we noticed it said 25 minutes wait. Of course we had to make a detour into the ride. It ended up being basically walk on.
This ride is amazing if everything works. The one in Disneyland is already a little broken, with a few things that used to work don't anymore (example is the lightsaber coming through the ceiling doesn't work sometimes). The ride here is even worse. Kylo Ren doesn't turn around to look at you, he doesn't move in another part of the ride, and the worst thing we saw was, an exit door was open and there was a towel on the floor in plain view.
We did go in the evening (maybe things break down more as the day goes on?) but still, that is pretty sad, especially if people lined up for an hr or longer, or bought Lightning Lane for this ride.
I really hope Disney does some maintenance on this ride as it is such an amazing one.Written September 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You will be sitting in a small confined space once you go inside and will feel the gravitational (centrifugal force of 2.5) force and can het you nauseated. Do take the warning seriously if you are claustrophobic, acrophobic, or have a blood pressure issue. The ride is not that long and fun.Written May 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Serhii H1 contributionOne of the best rides at the Magic Kingdom. The combination of sharp turns, sudden drops, and darkness makes this ride a truly exciting experience. The wait time can be a bit frustrating, usually around 60 minutes, but it’s not too bad. The tunnel is well air-conditioned, making the long wait a great way to escape the midday heat. Also, Lightning Pass is a great option for this ride. Overall, our group was really excited about this ride. We ended up riding it three times in a single day — twice with Lightning Pass and once in the regular line. In my opinion, the front seats were better and made the ride much more enjoyable.Written August 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelingSoccerLoonSaint Paul, MN5,828 contributionsEven with all the new rides at Disney World, The Tower of Terror remains one of the best rides in the parks. The screams from riders as you walk down Sunset Boulevard will scare many off, but they are missing out on an incredible experience. The theming in the ride is amazing and so detailed. It starts out as creepy and eerie but the drop sequence that occurs at the finale is so much fun. You free fall and are then brought back up and dropped another 1 or 2 times. Every drop sequence is different each time you ride which adds to the enjoyment. This should be arguably the first ride you head to at rope drop. Otherwise get a Lightening Lane for the early morning as lines build quickly.Written February 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nightowl1812Monmouth, UK11 contributionsThis ride is a family favourite
The wait times are rarely more than 50 mins so the queueing isn’t really long
On the way you can even join a quiz which is based on countries .
The ride obviously is amazing as well
When we sat in the seats for Soarin for the first time, we sat in the last row . We liked it a lot , but the third seats weren’t very good
You couldn’t smell anything , and you could see everyone’s feet
We suggest either the top row (1) or the middle row (2)
You couldn’t smell anything in the third row.
The staff are really kind , and if you ask nicely, you can sit in the first row ( the best row )
There , you can smell everything
The top row is the best
Must try at least twiceWritten September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
