After leaving the Florida Keys we went to pick up our trailer, which we had left at the Miami Everglades Campground, and headed north, back to Orlando. When we saw how busy the Disney Parks were during the Thanksgiving holiday week, we decided to leave SeaWorld for our return trip. We enjoyed our stay at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground so much that we decided to stay there again.
We loved our trip to SeaWorld! There are tons of Marine animals to see and the shows were really good! They have a dolphin feeding area where you can buy fish and the dolphins will come up to the edge and you can rub them and then feed them. David graciously declined the feeding so that he could photograph us (ever the helpful guy, plus, he doesn’t much like touching fish). I told him that if my vegetarian friend, Jennifer, could manage holding a fish to feed a dolphin, then he should be able to, but he still declined!!
He was very brave though, and managed to feed the rays in the next area. They have a huge touch pool like they tried to start in Calgary, where they rays will come up to the edge and you can touch them, or buy food to feed them. It is sort of like having a rubbery, slimy vacuum try to slurp up your fingers. Then they get all excited and flap around and get you all wet!!
Most of the campsites at the campground are now decorated for Christmas, some with just lights, but many are unreal! There are some sites with 20 or more inflatable decorations. Many people come for the whole holiday, and bring tubs and tubs of decorations. We thought Halloween campers were crazy for decorating, but this is over the top. There is one site here that has so many lights and d
ecorations that there is a path going through, and the lady hands out cocoa at night. Most of these sites are about 40 feet X 50 feet, so it is like a hundred little mini Confederation Park light displays. We took our bikes and road around just to see them
all!
