Some places that you might wish to visit on a trip to Orlando require advance reservations.

1. Discovery Cove at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. This is a new attraction at Sea World where you get to swim with dolphins! Sea World is located on International Drive in Orlando, about ten to fifteen minutes away from the Disney theme parks. You can make reservations up to 100 days in advance, but one month is usually enough, unless you choose a day when many people will come, such as Labor Day or July 4th. It costs a little under $300. This includes 30 minutes swimming with the Dolphins, snorkeling in a coral reef, breakfast, lunch and snacks, parking, admission to Sea World or Busch Gardens for 14 consecutive days, a private pool and river for swimming, and lockers and sunscreen. More information can be found at the Discovery Cove website.

2. Pirate's Dinner Adventure. This is a dinner theatre. It is located at 6400 Carrier Drive in Orlando, Florida. You will see a real pirate show, featured among a replicated Spanish Galleon and lagoon. Some guests even have a chance to take part in the show, which includes cannon blasts and pirates singing and acting out scenes. It costs about $30 for a ticket, which includes the cost of the dinner and the show. You have to book at least 72 hours in advance. You are only limited to the seating filling up, so you should call as soon as you know your plans. Try to book at least one week in advance, with more time for weekends. Purchasing tickets online gives you a discount. Visit the Pirate's Dinner Adventure website.
