Disney World has it all. DOLE Whip. Baby tigers. Roller coasters. Oh, and some of the sweetest manatees you have ever seen. If you’re a sucker for gentle giants like us, prepare to say, “AWWWW.”

Sure, there are a lot of opportunities to spot animals in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but some of our favorite animals are actually in EPCOT.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends

If you happen to visit The Seas with Nemo and Friends, you’re sure to have seen the aquarium there that houses a TON of sea life (including some really cute sea urchins).

Something NEW Just Arrived at the Seas Pavilion in EPCOT (and You’ll LOVE Its Name)

By 1 Comment

One thing that sets Disney World apart from other theme parks is that you have a chance to see a LOT of animals in the parks.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends

Sure, Animal Kingdom has an entire SAFARI where you can see animals in habitats similar to their natural ones, not to mention all kinds of walking trails where you can see tigers and gorillas up close. However, don’t sleep on EPCOT because it has one of the largest indoor aquariums in the world and hosts its own share of wildlife, including all kinds of fish, sharks, and our personal favorites, the manatees. Well, a NEW manatee has joined the Disney World family — and we think you’re going to love him.
