May 2011 Universal & Discovery Cove Trip - NEED TIPS!!

[doubledutchtracy]

We are going to Universal and Discovery Cove in May 2011. We have never been outside of the Disney Parks before and are looking for some deals on food/tickets, etc.

We are staying in a Windsor Hills townhouse but would like to eat out somewhere at least once a day (breakfast/lunch/ or dinner) with the rest of our meals back at the townhouse.

Can anyone recommend any cheap but really good restaurants in the area, or coupon deals??

Anyone know of any deals in the park (wishful thinking) or best places to eat in the park?

Anyone know if Universal, SeaWorld or Discovery Cove have any photopass type thing like Disney does??

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!

Yes, Discovery Cove will make a photo CD of your experience available.

Not a lot of tips are needed for DC; just experience it, there's plenty of time in the day to get through the whole park. I heard someone once say they skipped the aviary because it was 'just birds' but don't skip it! I have a great pic of one landing right on DH's head!
