Thoughts on when to do discovery cove

Hi all

Having moved our holiday to next year we are now going for 3 weeks

dates 21st May - 11th June 2022

First two weeks at disney coronado and last 7 days at endless summer

I'm just wondering when everyone would do discovery cove?

Was thinking memorial weekend as the number of people will be capped or should i do it in the last week. I plan to visit seaworld for a day to

Definitely Memorial weekend if this is the only non-park day you're planning. Looking at the busy day guide, I would say the Sunday is the busiest (especially at parks that are naturally busy at weekends, like Epcot) so would probably be my choice.

Thank you not sure it will be the only non park day as my children will be 11 and 8 so planning mostly half days at parks with plenty of pool or water park time

You should pretty much do it on any day of the week as long as it�s a Saturday or Sunday 😂

I�m just about to book a 3 week holiday the same as yours but planning on going on the 17th may for 3 weeks.

2 weeks in Disney pop movies & then a week in aventura

We are Getting the sea world package and discovery cove tickets too.

My plan was to do it on the change over day for the hotels.

So check out in the morning and put everything in the hire car. Stay at discovery cove for the day and then check in Aventura on the evening.

We always pick a weekend (numbers are limited in D.C., but not so much elsewhere).

We always go early ( in case it is washed out and need to use a later day).

Pardon my ignorance but Im guessing it'll be rammed on memorial weekend? is that the Saturday Sunday and Monday?

My logic is always to book for the busiest day of the holiday (typically a weekend).
In your case the busiest will no doubt be memorial weekend.

I also always ensure there is ample time after the booking, just in case there is a day of awful weather and it gets cancelled (so there is plenty of time to reschedule)

Thankfully I have never had an issue with Discovery Cove being cancelled, however a couple of times we have had to rearrange SeaWorld experiences which have been impacted by weather (and been very grateful to have booked them early in the trip.)

Quite the contrary. The same number will be in Discovery Cove., be it the 4 th of July, Memorial Day or any other day� it has a very limited capacity.

That is why people tend to book it on what they believe will be the busiest day of their vacation.. in my case generally a weekend.
