ATTENTION: DISCOVERY COVE TO OPEN AS A DAY RESORT STARTING JUNE 11
As part of modified operational plans built into our re-opening timeline, certain components of animal meet-and-greets will be temporarily modified or unavailable. A special beachside dolphin presentation will be available to Discovery Cove guests with Signature Dolphin Swim reservations in lieu of the fully immersive experience to help maintain physical distancing

No Dolphin swims?

I read on their FB page that there are no dolphin swims in June but there will be from July onwards.

Oh thank goodness for that!

I read a thread here that they will be closed Tuesday-Thursday for the rest of the year. Their own booking page seems to confirm this with those dates blocked out.
I bought my tickets through ATD who I emailed yesterday and their response was that DC will offer free change of date to next year or refund. I don’t want a change of date to next year as we can’t go, but there are dates Friday - Monday available during our holiday, but it will cost £100 each more to book these as they are premium.
Bad service on their (ATD) part I think, they also said DC would contact me to arrange this, so I pre-empted and contacted them myself.
I’ve had no response yet so don’t know where I stand.

Usually Discovery Cove will change a date free of charge, I'm sure that if you just want to change they will do it. I am booked for Tuesday the 1st September and if my flight is still going I will try to change it to the Monday. If we are not going I will try to arrange for next August/September.

That is all I want, I would like them to do something with pricing but they are only offering a change of dates to next year, according to ATD, so far no one from Discovery Cove via email (I want conversations in writing), or Seaworld Parks UK has responded.

We were talking about DC last night, and my take is that I'd rather have a day there, with a Cabana, than a weeks entry to Disney parks. Probably my favourite "park/attraction" in the area.

How will they maintain social distancing say in the lazy river. And mask wise how will that work as in where do you put ur mask when you are entering the water area etc? Xx

Not sure about your other questions but the lazy river each time we’ve been has never busy, it’s nothing like the water park packed lazy rivers.
