| We have receieved our tickets for DC and on there it says to bring.
photo identification.
Is passport/driving licence only accepted or could we take a passport size photo.
I just don't like the thought of taking passport

| they will accept clear photocopies of your passports
it's always good to have a photocopy just in case your passport ever was lost/stolen, it's easier to replace if you have a copy of the original

| Mizzy is right, it is a good idea to carry copies in the event of them being lost and stolen but also some places may ask for ID when changing travellers cheques etc. This is not always the case but it is better to be prepared should the need arise.

If you buy discovery cove tickets do you get a free day at Seaworld? I have a friend going soon and can't remember?
You will have the best time ever it's one of those days I will always remember. My kids loved it
you get 7 free days at seaworld or busch gardens or you can upgrade to 14 days | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| We have found that the photo driving licences have been great for holidays in the States and we got ours as soon as theycame out, we were never comfortable having to show passports in bars, etc, when we were holidaying there (that would be before we had kids!).
As well as taking photodopies of passports I would leave acopy at home or with someone you trust as if it is in your bags and your bags go missing you are no better off. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Hi Guys
Just wondering about Discovery Cove. Is it worth the money to swim with the dolphins as we have heard you only get about 4 to 5 mins. in the water with them.
Is this true.
I have a daughter aged 14 and she has been pleading to go.
What are your thoughts on paying for the swim too as we will definitly go to the Park .
thanks in advance

| You get 30 minutes with the dolphins. You are in a small group of anything up to 10 people depending on the family groups. You are photographed and videoed all the way through. It is a magical (but cold!!)experience and you are in the water for the whole time, stroking and touching the dolphin and learning hand signals etc.
The experience ends with a swim into the middle of the lagoon with the trainer who then calls the dolphin over and you hold onto its fin and get pulled through the water for about 20 seconds back to the edge of the lagoon.
The whole thing is wonderful - as is the experience of the park generally.
We will definitely do the park again probably without the dolphin swim as it is a once in a lifetime experience and there is such a lot more to do and see anyway at Discovery Cove without the dolphin swim.
You won't be disappointed.

my husband is not a swimmer as such and has little confidence in the water but still managed the dolphin swim, there are float vests for all ages and sizes
i also agree with many others on here, DC was one of our best days in orlando and not just for the dolphin interaction, the whole atmosphere was great and we had a lovely relaxing day, after the hurly burly of the theme parks it was good to just chill

we did this in jan this year, on their coldest day of the year so far.
it's certainly worth the money as once in DC you don't need to pay for anything..... included in the price are wetsuits (highly reccomended ) lockers, snorkel gear, suntan lotion, (with snorkel gear),towels and showers plus shampoo/soap etc, also if you are there early enough you can have breakfast as well as lunch up till 3pm, plus there are a couple of snack bars for when you get out of one of the lagoon/pools where you can get hot/cold drinks, including beer and biscuits/crisps, etc... all included your admission price, also included is 7 consecutive days admission to sea world,..the daily admission price for seaworld is now around $65. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |
