Let me get this straight...

So I cannot just buy DC tickets without having the 14 day admission to the sister parks included in the price? Is this correct? All or nothing?

I could be wrong, but I believe it's possible to get it w/o the 14 day admission. But I maybe wrong.

That's the normal price of a discovery cove ticket. The admission to the sister parks is free with the purchase of a discovery cove ticket. I believe you get 14 consecutive days of unlimited admission to any other sister park.

I was on the DC site a few days ago pricing our trip for May and you could add all the sister parks for $50. You could choose one sister park free, then add the others for additional $50. DC prices vary depending on what day/month you want to go.

You cannot get a discount by excluding the "free" park ticket. Annual pass holder discounts, employee discounts, and occasionally certain special offers/promo codes do not include an additional park ticket; but other than those few exceptions you will still be "paying" for it.

With that said, both SeaWorld and Busch Gardens are very unique experiences and are both wonderful parks that shouldn't be skipped over; you may be pleasantly surprised
