Took it to the Trainer for the day level last visit... that was something else busy day but amazing experience esp the swim with 2 dolphins and the shark hands on time.

Swam with CJ in the Seahorse pool, loved it. Done the swim twice now, but would not do it again. Not enough time with the dolphins and my photos were lousy.

We will always go to Discovery Cove every time we visit, and not because of the amazing 14 days at the other parks deal. DC is, as everyone says, such a relaxing day, and a great break from the hectic days we spend at the other parks.

We've booked our 2017 DC slot before we've even booked the flights

I didn't realise the ultimate gives free parking at those parks (thanks cornishfrogboy for the tip). Has it always been that way?!? I was last there in 2014 and I cannot remember.
Totally agree with you regarding dolphin swim. Was fine/enough for kids age 10 and 6 but we swam with dolphins in Mexico years ago and it was so much better - 2 dolphins doing dorsal fin pull, 2 dolphins nose pushing you along by your feet and other games eg them jumping over bars we were holding. Discovery Cove was a lovely relaxing day but the dolphin swim was disappointing. The photographers also didn't position themselves well so we have other people in the background of our pictures.

We had that too. Really annoying.

Many of the shots were of the backs of two other guests.

We have booked just one Ultimate ticket on the non swim ticket which is cheaper .

You only need one ultimate ticket to get the parking for the 14 days so as my OH is not doing the swim and is also the driver we booked his ticket as the Ultimate which worked out slightly cheaper than booking a swim Ultimate one.

We will visit SeaWorld at least twice as love it and hopefully Aquatica so will save on the parking xx

That's good to know. Thank you.

We will need all ultimates (non-swim), as we all intend to visit Busch Gardens as well. To be honest I hadn't even realised that you get Sea World and Aquatica with the standard ticket.

We have never been to DC before, would maybe like to go next year but not do the dolphin swim, what tickets would I have to buy that you get the free parking for the other parks as we will be doing Busch, Seaworld etc?
