Almost didn't get Discovery Cove tickets!

[Disbabe]

Bought our Discovery Cove tickets yesterday from American Attractions. Checked all other companies selling tickets and these were the cheapest at £205 per person with £5 web discount. Next cheapest was £209 each with no discount.
I wanted the 29th July 2013 - but both the 29th and 30th were showing up as unavailable.
Next date available was the 31st - so I booked and paid for 5 tickets.
15 minutes later - had a phone call from American attractions. For my entire 2 week holiday they only had 2 dates available (even though their website was not reflecting that). Dates available was Friday 2nd August and Friday 9th August. Couldn't do the 9th as it's our Disney week and we have free DDP. That left us with only 1 date available

Have now booked it and re-jiggled our itinerary (thank god only in early stages).

Didn't think that it would get so booked up this far out!

Really? That's ridiculous ........ those are the dates we need too .......... NEVER booked DC this far ahead before, so maybe they could have got it wrong. There was full availability bar one day on orlando ticket deals website the other day.

Are you booking all swim with dolphins, or all non swim ....... wonder whether they limit the non swimmers.

All 5 of us are booked to swim.

Checked some of the other websites too, as they only have 100 tickets each, and dates on some of them were not available either. Apart from the 29th and 30th July all other dates for our holiday showed as available on the website. My booking confirmation still states the 31st July as booked, however, it was when they went to book them through that they realised that date was no longer available - hence the phone call.
As I say only dates they had available was the 2nd and 9th August for the period 28th July - 9th August.
I thought it unbelieveable, but glad I didn't leave it any longer to book. I can only think its because they are the cheapest. Paid £25 less than the next cheapest.

Wow that's madness. I booked in advance for mine but not that far and there were hardly any spots taken, we had our pic of dates!

Seems the price has shot up too, we paid £600 for 4 of us + an infant although that is for October.
