Discovery Cove

Hi,can anyone help with advice regarding the cheapest way to experience Discovery Cove/swim with dolphins in August for 2 Adults/2 children(13 and7)..is it better to buy here or wait and see if there are any offers on when we arrive in Orlando?Also can you reserve tickets for the Dolphin swim here in the UK and pay on arrival in the US?any help would be great..it would be the end of August beginning of September...

You can get it for £160 per person but there was only a couple of companies that I found that gave you the Aquatica option as well as the choice of Seaworld and Busch Gardens.

In the end I booked direct because I wanted a specific date, the company I spoke to asks for three date options and they aim to get you your first choice but can't guarantee it.

I ended up paying £168 ea and I paid up front, credit card bill should be in any day now.

I can't remember the names of the websites I went to but if you do an advanced search on my user name you should find the thread.

Just checked my thread - it was Florida Escapes that I spoke to and they offered all three choices but you have to give them three dates.

Give them a call they were very helpful

Wayne did a thread on this as if one of you bought the seaworld passport the prices were really good.Im sure he will be on soon.Try travel republic they were about the best. Which package are you after? One comes with a free day as mentioned above.

Search around on travelrepublic etc for prices, not heard of a way to book and pay later , be cheaper if you dont have aquatica and youll love it x

Thanks everyone..i have just searched on Discovery Cove,and found the thread re passports and maybe i am just tired today but i still dont fully follow it...do i purchase 1 park ticket ie Aquatica on line,then when i receive the passport through the post i use the bar code on the ticket to buy discount tickets for discovery cove?and roughly how much does it save?i do appreciate the help..

If you go onto the discovery cove site and click begin purchase up top its says
enter your promotion code put PASSmember2011 into box press go then just put in the numbers of who is going it will give you prices just look up your month mostly its $169 swim and $69 non swim don't forget to add the sales tax too... You will need a annual pass (passport) to use the tickets..

Just checked the 18th november for 2 to swim and 2 non works out to £331 with passholder rate need to buy pass though of £105 but still cheaper than paying without plus get free parking and into seaworld for a year.
Presume as long as we buy pass before we go can buy the tickets now and pass later or not
