“Trainer for the Day” experience at Sea World San Diego - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Goofster57 · 10-19-2007, 10:52 AM

Ok now on to Swimlover’s “Trainer for the Day” experience.

As I said the girls went at different times so the experiences varied just a bit.

Here’s Swimlover in her wet suit

And with her Sea World trainer

Here are some pictures of her Dolphin experience in the DIP area

Here is what was called the “Belly Ride”

Here she gets to “Dance” with the Dolphin

Must be the “Tango”

Just a little something for the girls

Next up feeding the Dolphins

Goofster57 · 10-19-2007, 10:55 AM

Here they get to reward the Dolphins for their hard work

Swimlover got to go for a “Fin Ride”

Getting to give the Dolphins cues to perform their behaviors

Having them sing

Spin in a circle

Not sure what this was

And just some general shots of the interaction

Goofster57 · 10-19-2007, 10:57 AM

They got to go to the Sea Lion and Otter show,

Where they got to play with the Otter’s

And the Sea Lions

Sea Lion continued on next post

Here is a picture of the group; both girls had very small groups for the experience

They were getting ready to meet the star of the park Shamu

Who would have thought he was thirsty

Of course you knew he would be hungry

More Shamu on the next post

Goofster57 · 10-19-2007, 11:00 AM

They said that the Killer Whales really like Ice

The “Stars” of the show

Swimlover is on the right

After changing back to street clothes and lunch at Shipwreck Harbor which is provide in the cost of the experience, they got to spend some time with a bird

A Vulture to be exact

So after a long day the experience sadly came to an end, but Swimlover was all smiles

WOW!! That's all I can say!

Disneyolic · 10-19-2007, 11:07 AM

Wonderful pictures again! Totally looks like a fun time. I can't wait. The belly dolphin ride is a bit disturbing for me. I keep thinking the dolphin is reverse humping her!

The otters are so cute but I'd rather stay away from them.

Thanks so much for sharing these pictures and their experiences!!

Montana Disney Fan · 10-19-2007, 08:07 PM

Oh my gosh. I'm definately going to Sea World next year. How awesome!!!

blue_river · 10-25-2007, 09:29 PM

Wow! That's awesome!

What a wonderful Christmas gift. Both girls look so happy

I would love to do that on a future trip. Swimming with dolphins is on my top 10 list of things to do before I get too old.

Funny that the whales like ice eh?

There is no way I would have let that bird sit on my arm!

Have I ever mentioned that we have river otters here? We're lucky if we get to see them once or twice a winter.

Here are some shots I took:

I think I may have posted them before

You got some fantastic photos

Memories to last a lifetime

Thanks for sharing.

I could only dream of living where you guys do.

Do you and Grumpy want to Adopt a slightly older Son and his younger Wife?

It's not greener ........ trust me on this!

In fact, it's mostly white you see here

Adopt more kids? Now I know you're nuts. I'm waiting for the day when we have the place to ourselves

HELLO! I made it. These are great. Make me really jealous! Someday it will happen for me. Great pics.

travelmel · 07-26-2008, 12:51 AM

OM goodness those are GREAT pictures! what a cool experience! I have to say I was particularly partial to the extremely candid Sea Otter pics! SO CUTE! My husband says they look like wet ferrets and should be callsed "Sea Weasels."

For what it's worth, I'd adopt you all! But nobody wants to live up here in Oreegon

Over by the Rocky Point area they have a Sea Otter encounter that I could spend all day at watching them playing.

Personally I like Oregon

Thanks for reading
