Disney World Extras

 

 

Walt Disney World is packed full of amazing attractions, shows, fireworks, you name it that it is hard to imagine more. Honestly, many people are happy enough with these simple things the theme parks offer. But did you know that there is more? More than the parks!

 

Epcot Seas Adventures- Aqua Tour

 

Disney World has a ton of different tours. At around $145.00, you can snorkel with sea creatures in the aquarium. If you are not SCUBA-certified it will take two and a half hours and only a half hour will be snorkeling. Note that you won’t actually dive beneath the surface you are suspended at the surface. All equipment is provided. Don’t forget your suit!

See What’s Under the Sea

Explore an underwater wonderland at Caribbean Coral Reef, a 5.7-million-gallon, man-made saltwater ocean.

Offering a snorkeling experience like no other for Guests who are not SCUBA-certified, this 2.5-hour experience at Epcot includes approximately 30 minutes of actual snorkeling time at The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion.

An easy-to-use scuba-assisted snorkel unit will keep you afloat and supplied with piped air. While you won’t be permitted to dive beneath the surface, you will have a remarkable view of over 65 species of marine life below you, thanks to the tank’s clear, current-free waters.

In addition to snorkeling, you’ll also:

·         Tour the massive infrastructure that filters and maintains the habitat.

·         Get answers to all your burning questions about the inhabitants of Caribbean Coral Reef.

·         Learn even more about these beautiful creatures through an educational video presentation.

·         Receive a complimentary photo of yourself suited up in your dive gear.

·         Take home a special Epcot Seas Adventures – Aqua Tour souvenir.

 

Epcot Seas Adventures- Dive Quest

 

For $179.00 it is a 3 hour long with the dive being only 40 minutes. Now here is the catch, you have to be SCUBA-certified folks. Don’t forget that certification. Call Disney for more details.

Explore New Depths

Are you a diver who’s always wanted to join the fish at The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion?

Now you can! Take the plunge at Caribbean Coral Reef, our 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium at Epcot, and swim with over 6,000 sea creatures. Clear waters and the absence of currents afford you amazing views of sea turtles, angelfish, dolphins, eagle rays and sharks. 

The pavilion’s 56 giant windows make it possible for family members and friends with Epcot admission to view your dive, and you can even purchase a souvenir DVD of your experience.

Epcot Seas Adventures - DiveQuest lasts 3 hours, and you’ll spend approximately 40 minutes on your actual dive. You’ll also tour the massive backstage infrastructure that filters and maintains this vast manmade ocean. You must be SCUBA-certified to participate. 

 

Epcot Seas Adventures- Dolphins in Depth

 

For $200 and 3 hours of your time you can meet the dolphins. Note 30 minutes is spent with dolphins. Don’t forget the suit and no worries you don’t need to be SCUBA-certified. Schedule it out cause they do not offer this to many per day, only 8.

Dive into Their World

Meet the dolphins of The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion and learn about their complex undersea behavior.

During a 3-hour Epcot experience that wraps up with a once-in-a-lifetime photo op and a souvenir, you’ll talk to the expert trainers and researchers who work with our bottlenose dolphins every day.

Gain a better understanding and greater appreciation of these wondrous creatures as you:

·         Interact with our dolphins in waist-deep water for approximately 30 minutes.

·         See firsthand how we care for the dolphins day to day.

·         View backstage areas and learn how the dolphins are trained.

·         Sit in on a training and research session with our team of marine mammal specialists.

·         Participate in conversations about global issues affecting ocean life.

And remember: you will get wet from—and most likely splashed by—our dolphin residents! Please bring a bathing suit if you wish to enter the water. You do not need to swim or be SCUBA-certified to take part in this experience. 

 

Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

 

It is self-guided scavenger hunt throughout Magic Kingdom. To begin, go to the Firehouse on Mainstreet of the park.

Learn how to thwart the forces of evil by becoming Merlin’s apprentice sorcerer!

Embark on an interactive scavenger hunt to halt Hades in his tracks! The Greek god of the Underworld must retrieve 4 missing shards to reassemble Merlin’s Crystal of the Magic Kingdom and make the park his new summer home. He’s enlisted a brigade of Disney baddies—Yzma, Cruella, Scar, Jafar, Maleficent, Ursula, Ratcliffe and Dr. Facilier—to help track down the fragments, which are hidden throughout the park. It’s up to you to foil their takeover attempts!

How to Play

Stop by the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A. for everything necessary to begin 9 exciting quests, including a Sorcerer Key Card, Merlin’s mystical map, spell cards and training on how to unlock Magic Portals and defeat the dastardly evildoers.

Use the clues on Merlin’s map to locate 20 Magic Portals situated throughout Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland and along Main Street, U.S.A. Upon arriving at the first Magic Portal, hold up your Sorcerer Key Card to unlock and gain access—one of Hades’ henchmen will pop up prepared for battle!

Present a spell card to crush the creep; once victory is yours, move on to the next Magic Portal. Different Disney pals will also appear to guide you along your way. Your challenge is to eliminate each Portal’s outlaw by presenting the right spell card or combination of cards—some scoundrels are tough, so it may take several spells to triumph. After annihilating his minions, you’ll be spell-to-spell with Hades himself!

Finish as many missions as you wish—the keepers of the Magic Kingdom are grateful for your help! Merlin will appear in the final portal, welcoming you to the ranks of “Master Sorcerer” upon completing the full game. Hold onto your wizard wands and get ready for spellbinding adventures at every turn!

I would not recommend this for first-timers or visitors who are only going to this park once in their trip. It is time consuming! Coupled with fast passes and wait times and not to mention walking, you may very well be at your wits end.

 

Wild Africa Trek an Exhilarating Safari Adventure

 

Be awestruck viewing wild animals in their natural habitat on the 3-hour Wild Africa Trek. On this privately priced tour, discover animals of nearly every variety living in the Safi River Valley—an uninhibited environment that resembles their home turf in Africa.

The Journey

Walk along a grassland path, cross a rope bridge and ride in a rugged safari vehicle over an open savanna—with a chance to view African creatures including towering giraffes, powerful rhinos, hippos and crocodiles.

Along your journey, your knowledgeable guide will share insights about the majestic animals you’re viewing as well as the general operation of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and details about the park’s dedication to animal conservation.

And as if your safari weren’t memorable enough, you’ll receive a complimentary souvenir as well!

Complimentary Photo Services

Enjoy your encounters with the animals of the Harambe Reserve while a trained photographer captures all the action and excitement throughout your adventure—a service that’s included with your tour.

At the end of your expedition, you’ll receive a photo code that you can use to access and download images taken during your Wild Africa Trek experience.

This is time consuming 3 hours, so I would not recommend it for those that are first timers or only going to Animal Kingdom once. It is pricey, ranging from $180 to $250, but if it is something that you are interested it would be an amazing experience. There are disclosures that your health and physical fitness be decent as you will be walking and even crossing a rope bridge.

Pirate Adventure Cruises

 

This is a great adventure for children 4 to 12. It is 2 hours long $49 and is only for the kids. Disney classifies this extra into 3 different adventures.
