Hey I'm going to WDW and Discovery cove next week for 5 days. Any Advice? <BR> -Rob

Rob, your question is kinda vague. What kind of advice do you seek?

Rob, <BR> <BR>My wife & I visited discovery cove this past January and had a great time. I recommend taking an underwater camera for decent shots of tropical fish and rays while snorkeling on the "reef." If you're swimming with the dolphins, they don't allow you to have cameras in the water. However, the staff photographer did a great job for us, and we ended up purchasing quite a few pictures. It wasn't very crowded when we went, and the service was flawless. <BR> <BR>As to WDW, it's been a while since we were there, but unless you have kids (or are one), I recommend Epcot as it's a little nore adult-oriented. <BR> <BR>Also, you may want to spend 1/2 day at Universal Studios (which I believe is included with your WDW pass). <BR> <BR>Finally, your discovery cove pass allows you to visit Seaworld. I'd highly recommend that. Since you probably can't get enough dolphins, you can see them swimming in a large natural pool area (and from an underwater viewing area). There are also dolphin shows, sea lion shows, and the best attraction by far--the "Shamu" killer whale show. It's a great little park, sponsored by Anheiser-Busch so be sure to get a few free samples and see the clydesdales at the "Bud" pavillion if you're so inclined.

Universal Studios is not included in a WDW pass since it is not part of WDW. MGM, however, is included. Rob, can you give us more information to go on? Kids? Ages? Where are you staying?

ilisa, <BR> <BR>thanks for the correction about MGM versus Universal.

Thanks for the info Chuck and ilsa. I'm going with my fiancee (no kids). Were going to spend a couple of days at the coronado springs, wilderness lodge, and animal kingdom resorts. 6 days in Orlando total. 1 day at Discovery Cove. 4 at Disney parks, and on the final day were going to visit the wedding pavilion to see how ungodly expensive it might be to get married there.

Hi Rob, <BR> <BR> There is a pretty good site that has info on Disney, Universal, Sea World, and all the small theme parks in Orlando. I think it would help you a lot on any kind of advice you may need. <BR>www.theorlandowebsite.com <BR> Good luck Lui
