So, apart from going direct with Discovery Cove, who else can we UK-ers book with? I have heard a few people say that they've found cheaper deals by NOT going direct with DC, so wondering where I might want to start looking. We are DIY, so TCs are out of the question! Thanks guys
 
Check all the UK ticket agents.
Last time I looked these were about the cheapest http://www.travelrepublic.co.uk/Att...450177&aid=1&gclid=CMmkpKLRh6MCFQ6ElAodq2RpeQ
In Sept they want £120 for a swim ticket, £60 for non-swim
1 swimmer & 1 non-swimmer would cost £180 but direct with DC it would be $349.33(£227)
Or the Ultimate package again 1 swimmer & 1 non-swimmer £248 with TR, $509.08(£330) direct
A massive difference.
 
Okay, thanks for that guys, I will have a look.

Now, I've already spoken to DC about mum and the 0.01% chance that we might have to downgrade on the day from a swim to a non-swim, which they are happy to do. Would the same be true if we bought from a ticket agent, or is it a bit like theatre tickets and you have to go back to the people you bought from? :laughing:

Edit: Had a quick look at Travel Republic and it is indeed a very good offer - £360 vs. £454! :O My only question is, how do you book the day you want. We have only one day that we can do this on, and obviously with DC direct you can book specifically for that day. How does it work for Travel Republic?
 

I'll also be booking soon, and had these questions about DC. :) So I'll tag along here for answers. ;)

Had a look and you have to enter

Preferred Date:*
2nd Choice Date:
3rd Choice Date:

If Discovery Cove is full on the
dates you have chosen we will contact you to arrange an alternative date.


All I can think is you enter all dates as the same(if it will allow you to) you can check on DC site to see if its available 1st so you should have no problem getting the date you want.

Just re-read as I saw the asterisk in my post, means you only need to enter 1 date "You must also provide us with a preferred date for your visit. If possible please provide us with your second and third choice dates. "

Thanks Wayne! I've already checked online and when I rang up the other day, and there is still plenty of space for the day we want. And OrlandoMagic, I will give Charter a call later and see how they compare with Travel Republic!
 
I booked with Attraction Tickets direct & they price matched the Travel republic September price

& we booked the exact day we wanted, straight away on the phone.
 
We booked with ATD in 2009. The tickets were the cheapest and the service good.
We had a problem with Discovery cove itself, which I put a complaint in about. They said that if we had booked with them direct they would have refunded the tickets, but as we had booked with a broker could not do so. They did however refund us the amount we had paid for the photo package as a good will gesture.:hippie:
