Creator's Key Takeaways

I went into this day with almost no expectations and instead I left thinking this may be the best beach day I have ever had in my life.

We never felt rushed at all all day long, which coming off a weekl long Disney trip was a nice change.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a cabana for shade and comfort, especially during summer.
✓Ensure kids are good swimmers and comfortable around animals for the dolphin experience.
✓Consider Discovery Cove as a rest day in an Orlando trip or as a cruise add-on.
