Discovery Cove Tickets...so confused!

[pinkypominnie]

If anyone can help me work this out, you will be a better person than I am!! I have been trying to work this out for days and my head hurts........Basically, we are going on honeymoon in April and it will also be my 30th birthday while we are there so we want to go to DC twice (I know I am spoilt!!lol!)

Anyway............
Dates for Discovery Cove are:
Thursday 24th April (NON dolphin swim)
Monday 5th May (dolphin swim)

Then we want to visit Seaworld Friday 25th and Tuesday 6th May and Busch Gardens about the 18th April (staying at St Petes), and also a trip to Aquatica at some point........

What ticket combinations should we get and is it possible to do it like this?

PLEASE HELP............ :confused2 :confused2

hi
well never come across the discovery cove twice before, but think u will have to pay two separate prices, ie one for the ultimate which would allow u 14 days unlimited access to seaworld, busch gardens and aquatica, then i think you will have to book another fee for your non swim... maybe im wrong so hope someone else can help too. :thumbs-up

[scottishmum]

oops see u want to visit busch gardens on 18th right ok, that wouldnt be possible with the 14 day ticket so i better get my brain into gear.

Are you going to get any other tickets - ie are you getting a flex ticket that would include seaworld and aquatica? If not you can still do this.

It might be cheaper if you can be a bit more flexible with the dates you do Busch Gardens and Seaworld. If you can get these to within 7 days of your trips to DC then the DC choice swim or non swim would do as you get 7 consecutive days to either Seaworld or Busch Gardens. For a bit extra you can get the Ultimate both in swim and non swim options which gives you 14 days consecutive entry to both seaworld and busch gardens - with the dates you have you would need to get one unltimate and one choice but with a bit or juggling you could get two choice options.

Hope this makes sense.

Mmmmm...................I was thinking I would need one ultimate AND one choice, I dont want a flex ticket (no point when paying for DC twice - something we did in June too!!! :))

But didnt know whether I would be able to use the Ultimate 14day pass in advance of our first trip to DC, cant really change the dates as we have so much other stuff booked in and one visit is for my 30th, also we need to go to Busch when we are staying in St Petes like to do Seaworld as our last morning......the other one is planned to avoid grad nights at Disney!! :(

So.....if I get an Ultimate and a Choice......which way round do I do it?
AND can I defo have a DC visit in the middle of my 14 day use?

Its sooooooo hard!!! xx

As far as I can tell you can activate your pass for either BG or SW, ie you dont need to go to DC first.

I dont think it matters which ticket you get for your trip -

If you decide to get the ultimate for your first visit you would activate the ticket for the trip to BG on the 18th - this would do for your trip to DC on the 24th and your seaworld trip on the 25th. It would expire on 1st May so you could use it again up till this date if you wished.

Your second trip would be a choice ticket and would be for seaworld - you would use this one for your trip to seaworld on the 6th May.

Or you could go for the choice ticket on your first trip but it would be a Busch Garden one - you would then use the ultimate ticket for the second DC visit to visit seaworld both time.
