Is Shamu ready for his closeup? Are you?

SeaWorld Orlando is introducing a new tour called Animal Show and Photos Experience, which will enable guests to have priority, reserved seating for shows -- including the Shamu show "Believe," the dolphin show "Blue Horizons" and "Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island," the sea lion-otter show -- AND photo opportunities immediately following those shows with the featured animals.

Guests will also interact with a penguin and a Clydesdale in the five-hour activity. Participants will receive a photo CD of the day's experiences.

OK, bottom line time: according to the SeaWorld Web site, the adult price is "from $125" and children "from $100." This is in addition to the regular (and required) SeaWorld admission. You can also make reservations at the site (www.seaworldorlando.com and click on TOURS or call 888-800-5447).

Other fine print: Children under age 3 are free but do require a reservation; folks will be grouped into tours of about 12 people; it's a walking tour; late arrivals are likely to miss elements of the tour; and cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are non-refundable.
