Discovery Cove Was Amazing

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to thank everyone for the advice and let you know how

Discovery Cove went. It was amazing! The staff was amazing and my son

said he felt like he was royalty. The staff was very knowledgeable and

understanding. My son did do the dolphin encounter and they went well

out of their way to make him feel comfortable. Afterward they also

offered to let him spend more time one on one with the dolphin, but he

declined their offer. I wanted to snorkel in the lagoon, but my son

was scared of the rays. They had him stand on the wheelchair ramp

while I snorkeled. They gave him a fish finder card and the lifeguards

watched him while I swam. Since I was snorkeling, I could still hear

everything and my son pointed out fish for me to find.There are no

lines, no rush and no stress. For a single mom with a child with

autism, it is the closest I have ever had to a vacation.

What was the cost of this ? Did you need a doctors

note or proof of the Autism ?

My son would love this, he’s 3 and a half and loves

loves loves dolphins, swimming and water.

Can you e-mail me the details ?

It is in Orlando. They are www.discoverycove.com For the two of us for

the day it was around $400. Now we are going on a cruise with

www.autismontheseas.com to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We will do the

dolphin interaction there as well.

Wonderful that you were able to enjoy that much!

I would like to know more information about your experience with the cruise, who to contact, etc.

I am also a single mom and looking for alternatives to do with my son.

Thank you!

If you can email me that would be great!

Best regards,

Fabiola

We are going with http://autismontheseas.com/ We are going in

November. I know, really quick. For two reasons.... it is the cheapest

and no passport is needed. Since I am a single mother, the father will

not consent for us to get a passport so we need to travel before June.

Here are the reviews and services they provide

http://www.alumnicruises.org/Autism/Autism%202007%20July/aj7_Review.htm

I would love to have more parents and kids go with us. I know there

are some other families going, but the more the merrier and being a

single mom, could use some company.
