Keeping cool outside the pool.

Summer time in Florida can be hot. With this summer heat wave breaking records all over the United States it is good to know that there are areas in the local theme parks that you can cool off. Often they are set up with the kids in mind. It’s a good idea to make sure that your kids have an outfit that can get wet. Adults can get into the fun as well so wear the right clothes when you head out each day. Some rides are themed around water and it’s a safe bet that you will get wet if not soaked on the rides. Bring some zip lock bags for your phone and wallet.

Another way to beat the heat is to be at the parks early. In the morning the lines are shorter and the heat is lower. As the heat picks up, take that time to watch some indoor shows to cool off. Drink plenty of water and wear at hat. Welcome to Florida, now go have some fun in the sun.

Here is a quick list of the water areas in the theme parks.
Magic Kingdom:  Casey Jr Splash and soak station. Fantasyland.
SeaWorld: Shamus Harbor.
Busch Gardens: Sesame Street Area.
Epcot Center: Fountain area by World Showcase.
Universal Studios: Curious George.
Islands of Adventure: Dr Sussex.

SeaWorld Orlando has a new addition

There is something magical about dolphins. People love them and love to watch them.  There are boat tours that take you out to see them in a natural environment.  Swimming with them at Discovery Cove is an outstanding addition to your Orlando vacation. SeaWorld Orlando has a new addition, a dolphin calf was born Saturday morning 6/30/12 at 8:47 a.m. The young calf’s sex is unknown at this time, but it has been seen nursing and bonding with its mom, Starkey, both a good indication that the calf is doing well. This is Starkey’s sixth birth. Park guests can see the pair at SeaWorld’s Dolphin Nursery where pregnant dolphins, new mothers, their calves and experienced moms live together.

Casey Jr. Splash and Soak Station

Summer time is here and wow its hot. Welcome to Florida. The new Fantasyland expansion is coming along nicely. We took some time to visit the new Casey Jr. Splash and Soak station this week. If you are looking for a way to cool off then this is the right place to do it. Water is going everywhere. The train is packed with animals from the Disney's Dumbo film. They are all shooting water at you as you walk through. Splash N Soak hmmmm, good name. This area is great for children who need to run and play and the roller coaster is perfect for young coaster enthusiasts. The new Fantasyland Train station will take you to Main Street or Frontierland. The new Dumbo ride has a indoor que, so you can cool off there while you're waiting to ride. Grab your fastpass for Dumbo at Mickey's Philarmagic and head over to the Tea Cups for some Disney style fun.

LEGOLAND Water Park now open

Legoland in Florida has opened a NEW water park. This is a great way to cool off in the afternoon while you are visiting the park. Just like Legoland, this water park is perfect for children. We had a great time, thank you Legoland for having us. Kissimmee Guest Services sells discount tickets to Legoland and other Orlando attractions.

Turtle Trek at Sea World Orlando

Turtle Trek

     Sea World has opened Turtle Trek the world's first 3D 360 dome theater experience. In the film you follow a sea turtle from birth through life. As she makes her quest across the ocean she has encounters with a variety of other sea life. Against the odds she makes it past all the crabs and birds to make it into the ocean. There she will face new challenges. Sharks are not the only dangers turtles face. Even plastic bags pose a threat. They resemble tasty jelly fish as they float by and if eaten it can be fatal.  The film is action packed and exciting. Sea World has also done a live action documentary called Turtle: The Incredible Journey. Attempting a perilous odyssey its ancestors have undertaken for millions of years, one loggerhead turtle swims from a beach in Florida across the Atlantic Ocean, encountering stunning sea creatures as well as serious hazards created by modern man.
     The line had holding areas with large viewing windows into the Manatee rescue habitat. Then you move to the next area where you get to see live sea turtles that have been saved by Sea Worlds rescue program. This area is narrated by a host who shared some great insights into what Sea World's rescue efforts over the years. From there it's time to get your 3-D glasses and head into the dome. All viewing areas are good but we liked the area between the podium in the center and the door. The 3-D is good and gives you a real feeling of being immersed in the world of sea turtles. 

    After the film there is an area with an above the water view of the habitats you just were viewing. You can also play Race for the Beach Game for the kids to play. Be sure to get your picture taken with the life size statue of the manatee Mother and her calf.
