disney and discovery cove/universal

[Guest]

First time to Orlando. I have a six and eleven year old and can't decide between universal and discovery cove. We only have two weeks so don't think ill fit in all universal Disney and discovery cove parka.

My eleven year old really wants to snorkel but I can't find any combo tickets for Disney and discovery cove. Do I need to book DC separate its coming in pretty pricey, as I don't really want to do aquatica and sea world which seem to be included when you buy DC

Any advice on good prices for DC and would you prioritise universal over DC

I would do discovery cove if you have a six year old, universal have bigger rides and more for teens.
Discovery cove does include meals and drinks so when you consider this it isn't too bad and is amazing .
We went 3 years ago and my girls still talk about it being the best day of the holiday.

I would also agree that given the age of your children that DC would be a better experience, so the same reason the rides tend to be for older children with height restrictions a plenty at Universal, so may find they cant ride a lot..

DC, does include SW, as far as I know you cant operate out the tickets, so it might be worth doing a day at SW as well to get better value for the price...as you said its not a cheap experience. Having said that, I am booking DC again this year as its such a great day, relaxing, but with plenty to see and do...

I suppose it also comes down to do your children enjoy swimming/snorkelling with fish around them (my youngest the first time we visited was slightly freaked by this)...
