Swim with Dolphins at Disney World

Not many people know, but you can meet the dolphins from Disney World in their large aquarium in Epcot. It is similar to many other dolphin swim meetings that you can do in Florida, but the experience is more like going with dolphins, so if you are not a great swimmer, don't worry.

The Disney Dolphin Meeting program is called "Dolphins in the Deep." It's one of his backstage trips in Epcot. I signed up to do it when I was at Disney World in January. In addition to spending half an hour with the dolphins, Disney cast members took us on a tour of the backstage areas of the aquarium, where we learned a lot about dolphins and other aquatic life in the aquarium.

These are also very small groups. Disney allows a maximum of 8 people on these Dolphin in Depth trips so you can have a good time with the dolphins. On the trip I did, there were only five of us, so it was even better.

Then it was time to get into the wetsuits provided by Disney and we went to meet the dolphins. At the top of the dolphin tank we came into the water to stand on a platform at the waist. The trainers taught us different hand movements for different tricks with dolphins and even sprayed everyone with water! The best part came later by touching and squeezing a Dolphin Tour. The coach let us rub our hands on the dolphin's skin so we could see how it felt. Afterwards I had a huge dolphin in my arms and they took a picture of me while holding it.

It was an incredible and unforgettable experience and I am very happy to have had the opportunity to do it at Disney World.
