I emailed the people over at dolphin fantaseas in Anguilla (the new excursion for St. Maarten-Dolphin Stingray encounter) their price is $125.00 pp whereas Disney's is 180.00 pp. Which is really not a bad deal considering with Disney you get your transport on the ferry and to the Dolphin swim, transport to the beach and a lunch. So if we decide to do the dolphin thing we will use Disney's excursion. Anyhow here is the responce I got, sure sounds like a neat excursion! I like how it is broken down into small groups!
