After a smooth Check-In, we boarded flight VS 91 for Orlando. The seats were comfortable, and service was excellent.
We checked in for two nights at Courtyard Titusville Kennedy Space Centre, a unique space-themed hotel that is the closest to the Kennedy Space Centre. The rooms, designed to provide a Space Experience, feature an Astronaut Projector that shines shapes and colours onto the ceiling, and all rooms are equipped with binoculars for watching the rocket launches.
This evening, we met on the roof terrace at Space Bar and were served space-themed cocktails. This hotel is unique and fun. I recommend it for any family of space enthusiasts.
This morning we were served breakfast on the roof terrace whilst watching the sunrise over the Indian River.
After this we boarded our coach for a ten-minute journey to Kennedy Space Centre. On arrival, we wandered through the Rocket Garden, which displays a history of rockets used for Space Exploration. We completed the Microgravity training challenges needed to set a path to Mars and saw space ship Atlantis – a real space shuttle – which has completed 33 missions. We were shown Planet Play – a multiple-story play experience for ages 2 – 12 years.
This evening, we dined at Shilohs – Steak & Seafood restaurant – in Titusville – this fantastic restaurant is located right at the waterfront across from Kennedy Space Centre.
Today, we made another visit to the Kennedy Space Centre. We viewed the restricted areas of Kennedy Space Centre, the working space flight facility – where America launched to the moon.
Then we boarded the Shuttle Launch Experience – A simulator astronauts say is the next best thing to fly aboard a space shuttle.
We departed and were driven to Double Tree Hotel By Hilton Orlando at Sea world. We were allocated rooms in the tower. This hotel is in an excellent location, a 10-minute walk away from SeaWorld.
This evening, we visited Wonder works Orlando and the Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show, where we had plenty of laughs !! The pizza and other food included were great.
Our Sea World guide greeted us and took us to the Sea World Rescue Centre, where we looked closely at how Sea World aided sick, injured and orphaned animals.
We visited the Dolphin Stadium and watched a fascinating Dolphin Presentation. After this we had a Dolphin tour where we got to touch and feed them, which was an amazing experience.
We had lunch at Sharks Underwater Grill, which has a giant shark tank, making diners feel like they are underwater.
We then rode on Rollercoaster Pipeline- the world's first Surf Roller Coaster – which was an unforgettable experience. Then we rode Roller Coaster Mako – a hypercoaster known for high speeds, deep dives and thrills around every turn. Afterwards, we headed to Infinity Falls – the world's tallest river rapid, which was great fun.
This evening, we headed to Top Golf for a fun night of food and drinks and some healthy competition to see who was the best golfer.
Today, we were greeted by our VIP guide to explore the Busch Gardens. Firstly, we took a safari across the Serengeti Plain. In a close-up animal encounter, we could hand-feed the giraffes and explore the habitats of zebras, ostriches, and rhinos. We then rode on Cheetah Hunt, Tampa Bay's longest roller coaster, which was a thrilling and terrifying experience!!
Aquatica is a water park with super-sized slides, speedy splashdowns, and sandy shores. We set up base for the day on the white sandy beach—an incredible day of watery fun!!
Later that night, we experienced the horrifying houses, sinister shows, and terrifying thrills at Sea World, for example, Howl' O' Scream. Howl' O' Scream is a yearly Halloween fright fest — a terrifying but fun evening.
We had an early start today for the best experience Discovery Cove. Upon entering, I noticed it had a gorgeous tropical vibe! We were shown to our private cabana and then headed to Dolphin Lagoon, where we swam with dolphins, which was an unforgettable experience.
We did Sea Venture, an underwater walking tour that involved wearing a dive helmet, and we came face to face with all kinds of Sea creatures.
This afternoon, it was time to say goodbye to the amazing hosts, incredible itinerary, lovely group, and many pinch-me experiences!!
A Family holiday with an educational twist.
Discovery Cove – Dolphin encounter having the chance to interact with them – a magical experience.
Courtyard By Marriott – Titus Ville: The space bar on the roof, the food, the view- you can watch rocket launches here too!
Laguna Grill Signature Entrees in Discovery Cove. It was a wonderful lunch.
Discovery Cove is relaxing and fun, so maybe schedule it in between busy theme park days. All of the parks we visited are now cashless. Look at upgrading clients to VIP passes, which have many benefits.
Virgin Atlantic crew were attentive at all times. The afternoon tea onboard was good and well-presented.
It is the perfect holiday for parents wishing to benefit their child's education and development while having fun!
