I was even told that i could just do a dive (the dive quest) at Disneys Epcot that the DMs are all over you to make sure you are doing everything right... this was from someone that works at the living seas and used to work as one of the divers (not sure if he was a DM or not)...

Your profile indicates less than 25 dives total. If this is true, you are probably a lot like I was first time I was away from diving for a few years. I had a dozen dives then nothing for a few years.
I took a refresher course for $75. I did all the pool work and got some one on one time with the instructor. There were a lot of things I forgot. It was really nice taking the refresher again. At worst it will help build your confidence before you are out there on your own.
