Discovery Cove..additional parks

[Debbied]

We have booked Discovery Cove and it states that you get 7 consecutive days at either Sea World or Busch Gardens on production of you i.d card.
Does this mean you have to choose 1 park and get 7 days at that, or can you alternate the parks for 7 days?
If it is the 1st option how do they know if you have been to the other park, and has anybody tried access both parks, if so what was the outcome? If we had to choose, we would want to go to Busch as our free day but there are a couple of attractions in Sea World we would like to see, but don't have the time to spend the whole day there and would love to be able to pop in for a couple of hours. Any info much appreciated.
thanks

As I understood it when we did DC you had to chose which park you wanted your 7 days with, we chose Seaworld. We actually went to Seaworld before the DC visit by using our confirmation booking for DC.

When I was at Seaworld the other week a family were refused entrance using their DC tickets as their 7 days were up so it obviously showed up when their tickets were scanned.

You can either do 7 at Sea World or 7 at Busch Gardens, you cannot mix the two parks. Not for free anyway.

Given the driving distance involved to BG, I am sure the majority would choose SW.

Have a look at this link, gives you options for DC+extra park/s
You choose 1 park for 7 days or for an extra £20 you can access both parks for 14 days.
Don't know how their prices compare with elswhere but shows you the options.

I have booked this and paid an extra $40 I think, to have access to both SW and BG for 14 days. I think it's great value. We intend to go to Seaworld twice during our stay and Busch Gardens once.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately we have already booked so can't pay the extra for both parks, and i can't be bothered to cancel and re-book.
Looks like if we want to do both I will just have to dig a bit deeper and pay the extra. Will keep the link to that site for another time....thanks

Who have you booked with? If its direct with DC send them an email or ring them, ask how much to add the other park., Worth doing if its only £20 each.

 

[Debbied]

Thanks Wayne it is with DC, never thought of trying to get them to add it.
I may give it a go if we decide there is time to add seaworld. As you can see, we are almost booked. If we do the Disney Tour S/W is an 'if or a but' as would choose Busch for day 6, hence not wanting to pay extra for S/W ticket. If we don't do the tour maybe worthwile paying the price.



Day 1 Collect Car, Shopping/mini Golf
Day 2 Universal Studios
Day 3 Discovery Cove/ Cirque de Soleil
Day 4 Silver Springs
Day 5 Maybe Back Stage Magic Tour (undecided but probable) or Busch/ S.World
Day 6 Free Day or Busch/ Sea World
Day 7 Pop to Sea world/Shopping – pack
Day 8 Early Flight

When we went we chose the BG option as we already had SW included in our 5 park flex ticket - can't honestly remember if it was cheaper to get a 5 park than to pay extra and have both added to the DC 'freebie' but it could be worth looking at.

Does anyone know if you get free transport to BG included in these tickets. I honestly can't remember Also I intend to go to Seaworld first am I right in thinking you just take along your printout of your ref number and ID to obtain your SW and BG ticket?
