Tell me about Discovery Cove--have you gone??? - Page 10 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Are the Seaworld passes for everyone who visits DC or just those who do the swim w/ the dolphins? I'd LOVE to do it, but DH would have to be onshore w/ DD. If all 3 of us received passes, that would be an extra bonus.

TyNicJen: Sorry for making you wait! Here are some of the photos...Enjoy!

Complementary Foto

Lobby

Partial View of DC

Waiting for our turn...picking the other group!

Snorkeling in the pasive river!

One of the photos bought in there...My DB and I with Yoshi...a baby dolphin!

Sweet Kiss - Kissing Yoshi...

A dream come true...Here ridding Capricorn. One of the oldest dolphins...

We were lucky. We had two dolphins in our half-hour. Yoshi was one of the youngest. They "used" us to practice with Yoshi...Then for the ride, they brought Capricorn...It was amazing....A DREAM COME TRUE

As I said before...It was worth every penny!!

curlybop, the SW tickets are complemetary with you DC tickets (Dolphin or non dolphin). For more info you can visit their web: www.discoverycove.com.

Could someone tell me which to choose, trainer for a day ($449) or the all-inclusive ($279)? What is the difference in time with the dolphins? The group will be two men and their sons, ages 7 and 8. The girls will be at WDW visiting with the princesses!

Thanks!

UPDATE!! They decided to skip the trainer for a day program and just do the regular DC plus dolphin day.

Can someone tell me about the "lazy river" Is it like the one at Typhoon Lagoon where you get in inner tubes...or what??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

whackamole · 04-17-2006, 01:24 PM

Its been 5 yrs since I've been there but at the time the lazy river was actually for snorkeling. I don't remember tubes being on it. Depends how well you float I guess.

Lava124 · 04-17-2006, 05:21 PM

The lazy river does not have any tubes.I have always just worn the vest instead of the wetsuit and this pretty much keeps you afloat without much effort.The lazy river does not have any wildlife in it but it does give you another way to enter the bird sanctuary.

ciship · 05-03-2006, 08:36 PM

I know that they just started to include breakfast. Does anyone know what they serve?

Also, does everyone have to wear the vest or the wet suit, or is it just an "option"?

TyNicJen · 05-04-2006, 05:42 PM

Thanks silver angel 879. The pictures were great! Makes me want to go now!

I'll wait though, my daughter should be swimming this year and we will work on the snorkling with the boys.
Did I read in the thread that they give you snorkel gear? They made it sound like you can keep it.

Anyway still planning on WDW and the nick hotel this year. Then start saving again!

We are booked for November 1st this year, couple of questions.

1. Can any tell me how much the photos and dvd costs to buy when you are there.
2. Would you recommend wear anything on your feet when walking around, maybe in the aviary?
3. the latest in the year we have visited orlando is mid october - so do you think the water will be cold on Nov 1st?

lynnemo · 06-11-2006, 11:33 AM

DVD $69.99
5 x 7 photo $15.99
you also get a complimentary photo that they take as you are entering the park
We didn't wear shoes, although my daughter wished she had them on in the afternoon when things got hot

disneyfreak75 · 06-20-2006, 08:47 PM

Loved Discovery Cove. Went for our honeymoon. it was expensive but 100% worth the cost. Get everything you need, food was very good, swimming with dolphins was short but very cool. Bought the professional pictures and thought they were great, you get to pick which ones you like most.

We didn't have much time to go to Sea World but took a shuttle across to SW just before it closed and got to see Shamu.

I went on September 10th, 2001. I had already done the dolphin encounter my first visit. So I did just the visit. I got the free seaworld passes.

Course the next day, I wasn't in the mood, and they closed all the parks anyway. Florida was shut down.

When they opened seaworld again, I had the weirdest time. I walked from the curve at the entrance, to shamu's stadium, without seeing a person. Just birds and chipmunks. It was so sad.

email them and ask. But I expect you still do get them for free with the non-dolphin encounter.

disneyfreak75 · 06-22-2006, 01:00 AM

You get passes for everyone who goes to DC. it is a multiday pass too but I forget how many days. You should check out their website: http://www.discoverycove.com/default2.aspx

Lava124 · 06-22-2006, 05:07 AM

Youd do get a 7day to pass to SW or Busch Gardens.You get to pick one of these parks,not both.
