YES! I can't believe this is already scratched off my list! :) when Chris mentioned going to Discovery Cove during our Florida trip, I was ecstatic!

what sucked is that Paris didn't have the opportunity to do it with us. initially, Chris didn't make the purchase for Paris to swim with the dolphins because, for children, they have to be 6 years old. when we physically got there, we thought...well, she's almost 6 and as long as Paris says she's 6, they won't know! but even if we tried, there was no availability to upgrade Paris' ticket. :( she was pretty bummed, but we told her that we are definitely going back there so she can do the Trainer for a Day package.

but yeah, I must say, Discovery Cove was the highlight of our trip. it was relaxing...being able to just lay around and do nothing. all-inclusive...didn't have to worry about bringing food or drinks. fun...going snorkeling in the coral reef and around the lazy river...and Paris' fave - feeding & petting the manta rays (we realized that Paris will love anywhere there is water).

and last but not least, swimming with the dolphins! we learned a lot about dolphins in general, but had a great time interacting with our dolphin, CJ. it was such an awesome experience! I can't wait to go back!
