Choice of 2 discounts to Discovery Cove

[Dizneydaz]

Hi just wanted to post a discount I just discovered when checking out The Disney Wilderness Preserve. They have a link on their site for Discovery Cove. If you book through the link you will receive 15% off plus $25 will go to the Rescue the Reef Program. I entered the code and it comes out to $245.65 + tax with the code. (v.s. $289+ tax). Savings of about $43. This is for the dolphin experience. The code is TNC08 (that's a zero not an O). But you'll want to click on the link below to start. All of Sept. was available. Wish we could go this year but can't afford it. I told DD we will save up to go next year.

( Offer valid 9/3/08 – 3/10/09. Not valid 12/21/08 – 1/18/09 and the following 2009 dates: January 25, 28, and February 1, 4, and 8. Restrictions apply. Based on availability. Cannot be combined with any other offer. )

Last year I used an AmEx code and got a $50 gift cheque back for each dolphin experience purchased. They are doing the same this year. The code is AXP2008. You have to pay with an AmEx card to get this discount.

Hope some of you can use it-this was a great experience. And not paying for any food or drink was great too. Just like having DDP at DC. We got so used to not having to pay for anything to eat or drink that when we went to Busch Gardens it was a little strange to have to fork over cash!

Here's a pix of DD to get your interest.

Oh and some food.

Thanks for the codes!
Does anyone know if you get the 14 day pass to Busch Gardens or Sea World using the TNC08 code? I tried plotting it in on their website, and it made it look like this would not be included.

Yes it does. If you continue on with the booking it asks you which park (SW or BG) option you want. I didn't realize that now it uncludes unlimited visits to one of the parks or for $50, unlimited visits to all 3 parks, inc. Aquatica. Last year it was only for set amount of days (I think 7, maybe 14?)

Here's what the options link says

Now, with your paid admission to Discovery Cove, you can choose from three different park admission options to other Anheuser-Busch Adventure Parks. Included with your Discovery Cove admission is the choice of unlimited use at either SeaWorld Orlando or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay during your vacation. Or, you may visit our other Florida parks for unlimited use during your vacation for an additional charge (see options and pricing below).

Park Admission Option Price
Unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando* Included
Unlimited admission to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay** Included
Unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Aquatica Orlando*** $50.00


* Includes unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando during your vacation.
** Includes unlimited admission to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay during your vacation.
*** Includes unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Aquatica Orlando during your vacation.

ADDED-under FAQ for DC it does say 14 day pass, so I guess they consider that unlimited?

Awesome, thanks for answering!
I just ordered our tickets, will be going with my sister on september 30th. Can't wait!

Seriously thinking about this. If I booked discovery cove for a specific date how do we get the busch gardens part if we want to go there before we do Discovery cove. Also went all the ay through to get a price and couldn't see the option for all 3 only for SW or BG.

 

[Dizneydaz]

If you want to go to BG or SW before your trip to DC they say all you have to do is present your printout at the gate of BG or SW. We should have done that last year, it would have worked better with our schedule.

I too noticed that the sign up screen doesn't give you the $50 upgrade option. I guess you'll have to call DC to check on this-sorry.

Zirah, have a great time-we did. A hint-if a storm comes in in the afternoon don't immeadiately leave the park. This happened to us last year (Sept. too) as storms do normally approach at 3-4 p.m. They closed the water areas when the storm got close. Anyway, most of the guests left the park but we took our time. Came to find out that they re-opened the park after a little while and extended the hours. We stayed to a little after 6 and had most of the park to ourselves-it was totally awesome. It was like having a private experience. I figured they did this because they were at capacity that day and needed to get everyone who had the dolphin experienced scheduled their turn. Otherwise they have to let you come back another day.

Dizneydaz, thank you sooo much for posting this!! I had already booked a few weeks ago to get the "early bird" discount of 10%, and I just called and they applied this promo instead for even more savings! So I got an extra $60 off (for 4 people)! And we even get to feel extra good because they donate $25 to a really good organization!

Hoorraayy!! I'm so excited about this!!

Thanks again!

You're welcome! Have a great time! It is truly an amazing experience.
