Photos and DVD at Discovery Cove?

[Julia Ann]

Can anybody give me a guide on how much money i will need for the photos and dvd at discovery cove? I have heard that there are different packages but i am struggling to find out. As it will be our last full day i want to make sure we have kept enough spending money back for them.

By the way - leaving 6 weeks today!

I know the DVD costs around $70, photos range, a good guide line would be how much you would pay at Disney.

We have been twice in last 10 months, First time we all did Dolphin swim. I was not impressed with quality of their photographs, If they took less photos and thought about what they are taking they would improve they quality, We bought 1 pic as a momento.
This year I watched from the rocks and took my own photos of DW & DS with Dolphins, I got all the shots of Dolphin interaction plus very good ones of them leaping in the air. Used a 80-200mm on my Digi SLR quality far superior to DC photopraphy.
I filled in a comment/complaint form telling them at the prices they charge I expected better.
Enjoy your day at DC we will probably do again next August its a fantastic place. Personally I prefer Fish lagoon and bird aviary to Dolphins.

Thanks Wayneg that was really useful to know - i guess as there is only me and DH and we don't have a really high spec camera of our own will buy their photos - but know i know which package to choose before i go, hopefully i won't get caught up in all the excitment and buy loads (which is wot i normally do )

we bought the cd with 5 photos on,it worked out cheaper than buying seperate prints and you can make as many copies as you want.
I think if this is a once in a lifetime experience then it is worth shelling out a bit extra for the memories.

We also bought the photo cd and video, I'm sorry I dont remember the cost, I have to be honest I am the most unphotogenic person around, and these are probably the nicest photos we have ever had taken. They were very natural as I think you tend to forget the photographer is there ...
