Discovery Cove or not?

[European]

In a few days I'm going to Orlando. I haven't booked any park tickets yet. I'm doubting between:
- Discovery Cove Ultimate $359 + tax (no discount)
- Sea World + Bush Gardens + Aquatica $109.95 + tax (Adults at kids price)

I have been to Discovery Cove and Sea World in 2004. I'll probably go for the Discovery Cove package, otherwise I might regret it. But it's such a big difference in price.

Some more info: I go to Orlando about once a year, usually spending my time at Disney, but decided to concentrate on the Sea World parks and Universal Studios parks this time. So I will have the opportunity of going to Discovery Cove again if I want to. I see next year the price is much less. I always go during off season btw.

Who wants to help me choose?

We loved DC. Since it has been 5 yrs, I would so say do it again. I know we will be back to DC again before the 5 year mark!!

Love DC Can not wait until we can return again. To us that is the ultimate place of all. It was cold 2 years ago but still loved it. But being from upsate NY we are used to that. It was a birthday surprise for my 16 daughter. Will take her again when she graduates from college.

i want to do this one year. my son is 4 1/2 and i know you have to be 6 at least. but is even 6 years old to young for this b/c it's quite expensive and i want him to enjoy and remember it. i really want my monies worth out of it.

I think 6 is old enough to experience this wonderful day! If he loves dolphins definately go for it! You can also book a day without the dolphin swim if you don't want it to be that expensive. Altough I already had better dolphin experiences in Europe the whole day with dolphins, birds rays and everything was the best day I've ever had because there's nothing to worry about and it's an all inclusive day where you get everything you want! A day you'll never forget!

We took our four kids (8,7,5,&3) this past November. They loved it so much that on our return trip in 2011 we will probably forgo Disney for DC & SW once we get off of our Disney cruise... They still talk about it! It was the most relaxing day we had our entire trip!

Hi,
prices depend on the time of year. Also dolphin package includes the entrance fee and everything, while non dolphin package is just the entrance fee. I believe the dolphin package is 100 dollars more then non dolphin.
